What Happens When People Move and Refuse

Fishy Work

Hello and welcome to Fishy Work Episode 3, What happens when people move and refuse? In Fishy Work thus far we've spoken more broadly about why conditions at sea can be so bad, including organized attempts to improve the working lives of fish workers. And we've also spoken about the management of the fish supply chain, including how NGOs have worked with companies, especially with the aim of removing forced labour from their business networks. In this episode, we want to centre on the fish workers, especially migrant workers, including looking into how they migrate and, crucially, what their migration means in social, political, and economic terms. And we have two amazing researchers to help us understand this. Siddharth Chakravarty, a PhD researcher at Queen Mary University of London, and Andrew Lee, assistant professor at the Sanford School of Social and Family Dynamics, Arizona State University.
