What's Happening at the Poland-Belarus Border? A conversation with Anna Alboth

How is the situation at the Poland-Belarus border shaping the future of migration policies in Europe? Can media narratives truly reflect the realities of those seeking refuge? What role do activists and grassroots movements play in defending human rights when governments turn a blind eye? How can journalists and activists work together to change harmful media narratives and influence global decision makers? Anna Alboth will address these and other questions in conversation with students and faculty.

This event is part of Agata Lisiak’s SO202 A Lexicon of Migration and open to everyone at BCB.
