Workshop Agenda: Researching Discrimination Among Migrants – A Two-Way Learning Experience
This interactive two-way learning workshop explores the complexities of measuring and researching discrimination among migrant communities. Participants will engage in open discussions, collaborative exercises, and case studies to both share knowledge and learn from diverse perspectives.
What to Expect:
- Interactive Discussions: Explore key challenges in measuring discrimination, including methodological biases, ethical considerations, and data collection barriers.
- Shared Learning: Participants will contribute insights from their own research or lived experiences, fostering a collaborative space for knowledge exchange.
Preparation:
- Bring any relevant research ideas/ questions, case studies, or real-world examples related to migrant discrimination.
- Be ready to share experiences and learn from others, ensuring a participatory and engaging environment.
- If conducting research, be prepared to discuss methodological challenges you’ve encountered.
- Familiarize yourself with key concepts in discrimination research, such as bias measurement, self-reported vs. observed discrimination, and intersectionality.
This workshop is ideal for researchers, students, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to refine their approach to studying migrant discrimination while embracing a mutual learning process.
