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?

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.
