On this week’s episode, we spoke to Nassim Majidi. She is a researcher and the co-founder of Samuel Hall, a social enterprise dedicated to conducting research on migration and forced displacement in Asia, Africa, and Europe with the goal of informing policy action and other forms of positive impact for communities.


Nassim speaks to us about her paper titled ‘Storytelling in Research with Refugees’ which explores the potential that presenting research through storytelling has in both capturing the authentic voice of the research participants and connecting the intended audience to the story through constructed points of relatability.


Tune in to hear all about this amazing research practice and Nassim’s wisdom around research ethics and better research practice and learn the realities of conducting research on the topic of migration and displacement.

Voices of Resilience

The number of people who have been forcibly displaced continues to increase alarmingly; as of mid 2022, the UNHCR has reported that for the first time on record, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has surpassed 100 million. This is a staggering figure in itself, but another tragedy of the enormity of this number is that it often overshadows the fact that every one of those 100+ million is a distinct individual who has had their life irrevocably altered and their inspiring story tends to be buried under the statistics. During the first edition of the Migration Summit in 2022, we hosted various storytelling sessions where we heard from displaced individuals, with the aim of humanising these statistics. Similar to these sessions, we are looking to amplify the voices of some incredible individuals who have overcome obstacles far beyond our imagination. The aim of this podcast is to share the journeys of six individuals striving for the dignified life they deserve. Given that education and employment are often a pivotal part of the road to a financially stable, dignified life, this podcast will share insight on their journeys, with a focus on their education paths and livelihoods.In this podcast, we hope to contribute to the shift in the narrative of refugees across the world and encourage stakeholders and listeners alike to take action. We do not want the label of refugee to define these individuals as powerless victims, instead, we intend to portray them as the determined individuals that they are with full agency to succeed in any way they desire, given the right resources. This podcast series will consist of seven episodes. It will be released in January, in the run-up to the Migration Summit 2023 which will explore the theme “Co-creating pathways to learning, livelihood, and dignity”.
