- This co-authored monograph (240pp.) develops the concept of ‘migrantification’ to understand how displaced people become constructed as “migrants” by the state, members of society and the media. It draws on fieldwork including over 30 interviews, surveys, media analysis and theatre workshops in the UK and Italy, creating an interdisciplinary debate on colonialism, and media representations of war and migration. On a methodological level, the book avoids ‘extractive’ approaches through interviewing refugees about aspects of their lives and opinions conventionally ignored by migration research. Forkert was the lead author and PI on the funded research project which serves as its basis.
