In conversation with Juliette Samman, Research Lead at Samuel Hall based in Lebanon

W elcome to the Samuel Hall Stories Podcast where we dive into the heart of migration and displacement, uncovering stories, field insights, and knowledge, all informed by our research.

Our podcast offers a unique blend of technical insights and heartfelt accounts from the field, featuring interviews with our colleagues at Samuel Hall. We’re here to bridge the gap, make intricate subjects accessible and provide solutions backed by local knowledge to the most pressing issues in the field of migration and displacement.

In our very first episode, we are talking about decolonising migration and displacement research with our resident expert, Juliette Samman, a researcher based in Lebanon.

This transformative approach challenges deep-rooted biases, colonial narratives, and power imbalances in the study of migration and displacement. It matters because the way we research and represent these topics directly impacts policy, public perception, and the lives of millions of people on the move. How can we further dismantle these enduring structures in our field?

Join us to explore these critical questions and more in this episode on Samuel Hall Stories Podcast.
