New Introductory Essays for Concepts
This Spring, we launched a series of 17 short essays by Prof Sumita S. Chakravarty and Sinha Memorial Research Fellow Johann Yamin, each introducing a keyword on our new “Concepts” page on the Migration Mapping project. This is part of the Migration Mapping project’s broader aims to arrive at key concepts constituting our mental maps about the migrant/emigrant/immigrant.
With a greater emphasis on the impact of technology on migration, each essay provides an overview of the term alongside further readings, viewings, and examples from our media datasets.

Media+Migration Lab Website Updates
We’ve updated the M2Lab website for a smoother experience, working closely together with our collaborator, design studio Wayward Creative.
This update features a new Projects page that gives a quick look at all of our past projects. It also makes improvements for smoother navigation within projects, so you can browse through our writings, videos, and photos with greater ease.
Catch up on earlier M2Lab projects such as The Golden Exile by Elvira Blanco and Pandemic Media and Emergent Infrastructures by Guillermina Zabala Suárez now!
Upcoming
On the Migration Mapping website, look forward to a new analysis on climate migration and Black displacement by Design & Urban Ecologies MA student, Chase Louden.
Sinha Fellow Johann Yamin will also be producing a new project for the M2Lab website. Stay tuned!
