Dear all
This week's video - Thursday's Child has far to go - is on migration.
http://www.esrc.ac.uk/publications/multimedia/seven-days/thursday.aspx
This week's video is with Scott Blinder from COMPAS (Centre for Migration, Policy and Society), based in Oxford.
The UK is among the top ten destinations for migrants worldwide, and fears of our society being overwhelmed by migrants frequently surface in the immigration debate. But research shows that our perception of immigrants are more nuanced than assumed, and merely focusing on immigration as a threat is counter-productive. The average immigrant has a stronger sense of British identity than most home-born Brits – and children's experiences are crucial to migrant families staying or leaving
I quite like the couple who are arguing with each other in front of the camera on the streets of Oxford about migration! Clearly two different views in the relationship....
If you'd like to Tweet, our hash tag is #sevendays .
I hope you find this short video entertaining and informative.
Comments are of course welcome!
