Show Notes

Examining how the New Zealand media portrays normative refugee identities.

Who, or what, is a ‘real’ refugee? When does pity become a saviour complex? Why do we stereotype and stigmatize the distant suffering of others? Dr. Natalie Slade joins us to Unpack the colonization of compassion, charity vs justice, and the need to transform, contest, and reconstruct refugee representation.

This is the condensed, short-form version of our full interview with Dr. Slade. To listen to the full episode, + bonus content, head to patreon.com/phdunpacked.
