Congratulations to Marianna Griffini and @lauramontecchio.bsky.social for their recent publication in Politics & Gender 🎉
We continued with another incredible panel, 'Migration, Populism, and the Far Right' — unpacking populist rhetoric and migration governance, from party communication to how voters hold far-right governments accountable when migration keeps rising despite their promises.
We conclude with a rich roundtable to end a remarkable day — from why mainstream parties keep radicalising on migration, to the human stories and emotions behind the numbers, and why governing migration is structurally so difficult. Thank you to all speakers, chairs, and participants!
Our workshop at LSE "Italy under Giorgia Meloni: A 'Vanguard' in the Management of Migration and Security Challenges?" is now underway! Follow along for updates 🇮🇹
We started with an amazing panel, 'Migration Policy: Externalisation, Securitisation, and Local Actors', from on-the-ground NGO practices to the wider geopolitical impact of Italy's migration model beyond its borders.
