Migrants on the Margins

Updated post
I've been aware of the Migrants on the Margins project for some time, through my involvement in some related projects for the Royal Geographical Society.

This blog is also the first of a few relating to some work we've been doing exploring the movement of migrants across the Mediterranean. We explored this as part of our work with the book 'Factfulness', as Hans explores who is at fault for this when he talks about the 'Blame instinct. Is it the smugglers who desperate people pay to spend time in a leaky and unsafe boat? Read the chapter to find out.

Migrants on the Margins is a project funded by the Royal Geographical Society, and was featured in the latest Bulletin from the RGS-IBG, which sets out what is happening for the term ahead.

You can read some of the comics online
There is an expedition on at the moment at the Society, which shows some of the work, including some comics. I'm grateful to Laura Price for sending me a hard copy of the comics. They are available as PDFs as well.

Find out more about the project and PositiveNegatives here. They have a series of comics drawn from real life.
Read the stories of Arunachalam, Halgan, Sabina and Tawanda.

Here's some information about this aspect of the project.
