Refugee Law, Social Media and Technology: An Interview with Professor Katerina Linos - a podcast by The Verdict: Law & Society

How has the rise of new communication technologies and systems changed the situation of refugees? How has this affected our understanding of the challenges they face and the laws designed to protect them?

Katerina Linos is Professor at Berkeley Law, and Co-Director of the Miller Center for Global Challenges and the Law. In this interview with Dr Philippa Webb (The Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London) she discusses her research on how the internet, social media and mobile technology has become critical to refugee and migrant decision-making, and how the current status of refugee law may not be entirely capable of addressing this changing situation.

Professor Linos took part in this interview during a visit to The Dickson Poon School of Law where she took part in a panel discussion on her work, co-organised by the Yeoh Tiong Lay Centre for Politics, Philosophy & Law and The Transnational Law Institute. You can listen to this discussion in the previous episode of this podcast.
