Enjoyed speaking and meeting friends and colleagues at @DACASeminar & @BalsillieSIA, back home tomorrow where the spring has apparently arrived.

Not all deaths are mourned equally, politics focused on sea crossings, eastern routes and #Syrian #migration, ignoring West African migrations. #harvardDACAseminar

[Harvard DACA Seminar @DACASeminar]

20% of the people interview have witnessed death during their journey and over 70% of the death happened not at sea. It was happening in central Mediterranean route. #harvardDACAseminar #migration

[Harvard DACA Seminar @DACASeminar]

We only hear about death happening at sea. If you die on land, “we don’t care about if you die on land.” It is important to ask why there are absences on those we do not mourn. -@nandosigona #harvardDACAseminar

European border produce death within the refugee crisis is to criminalize search rescue organizations, “for working with smugglers.” #harvardDACAseminar #migration

[Harvard DACA Seminar @DACASeminar]

After the death of Alan Kurdi in August 2015, the public conversation led to Germany’s open door policy for Syrians but at the same time there has been military attack on Syria from Russia. We have to take note of the other side of the pendulum. - on “refugee crisis”

[Harvard DACA Seminar @DACASeminar]

Story is more complicated than being “rescued at sea.” There are issues of race and economic entrance to the countries like Italy and Greece. #harvardDACAseminar #migration

The research was published “Unravelling Europe’s ‘Migration Crisis’” about 1.6 million people crossed the Mediterranean to Europe from 2014-15 and about 12,000+ are recorded as missing. -@nandosigona #migration #harvardDACAseminar

[Harvard DACA Seminar @DACASeminar]

“Meaning of ‘saving humans’ are staring to change from saving people at sea to limiting refugee populations; which migrant deaths count and which don’t.” -@nandosigona #harvardDACAseminar

“More disagreements create spaces for more creativity. We have different strategies to push the envelop. Everyone’s experiences, ideology and approaches are different. When it starts to dilute the movement is when differences become personal and divisive.” @juhong89
