Why are some refugee groups welcomed more readily than others? On #WorldRefugeeDay, we highlight the work of Inta Mieriņa, Ambassador for the ERC from Latvia 🇱🇻, whose research explores how refugees are perceived and received across different societies. Through her ERC-funded research at the Latvijas Universitate, she examines why refugee groups are often received differently, and what these differences reveal about the historical, geopolitical, and ideological roots of attitudes towards migration. In this video, Inta explains why understanding these perceptions and stereotypes matters for building inclusive communities, shaping effective integration policies, and ensuring that all people seeking refuge are treated with dignity and fairness. 🔗 Watch the video and discover more about her work: https://bit.ly/3Ph3rF6 #Amb4ERC #FrontierResearch Association of ERC Grantees
