Fantastic week discussing migration, race and inclusivity at the IMISCOE Summer school.

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

I had the privilege to interview Mr Koji yanai and witnessed his passion for the refugee cause which is truly inspiring. He is on a mission to leverage his influence to encourage people to learn, encounter, and accept refugees.

“We believe that the more people understand the situation of refugees, the more people will accept them in the future.”

Don't miss this conversation between Mr. Koji Yanai, Fast Retailing’s Group Senior Executive Officer and @MimiMirka, mentee of UNHCR's Journalism Programme, on the importance of supporting refugees.

Creating Space for women seeking Asylum in Australia Challenging Mobilities

@NraagAus Chair @ShabnamSafa reminds us that the stories portraying refugees as heroes need to change. We protect refugees because they are humans and their stories are diverse. Only when this diversity is reflected we can really embrace and welcome every refugee

Congratulations to @lillicrovara for a fabulous presentation on the micro-politics of flexibility and work arrangements at #AAG2023. Great use of vignette to highlight that flexibility is a need. So glad to attend this very insightful session organised by @davidbissell @UniMelb

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

@urbanmargin I really enjoyed your presentation, Ash, and the graphs. I can't still believe the population of Dunedin and other small cities is thay small.

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

@lillicrovara @UniMelb Lilli thank you so much for your feedback! Congratulations again on publishing tour first ever paper and I can't wait to hear your presentation on Saturday 🤗

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

@ginadrew Thank you so much. That is my next plan and I hope I work on a publication in the coming months. I will keep you posted.

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

So thrilled to be attending my first international Conference at #AAG2023 and presenting a paper on the lived experience of women seeking asylum in Australia. Shared reflections on using photovoice as a meaningful method that centres women's voices on issues that matter to them.

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]

@MalangwaNgole I was almost sure you will be here. I would love the opportunity to meet you again next time.

[Mireille Kayeye @MimiMirka]
