Abstract
\nT\u00fcrkiye is the world\u2019s largest refugee-hosting country, with over 4 million migrants and refugees. Migration and refugees have been studied from various perspectives, and this talk will focus on how the issue of migration and refugees can be approached from a communications perspective and reveal the different methods used and areas examined to provide a multilayered approach to this area. Assoc. Prof. Dr. \u00d6zdora will offer a glimpse into her research agenda on migration and refugees in T\u00fcrkiye, focusing on media representations and framing, social media analysis of online conversations, utilization of refugees as a public diplomacy tool, civil society organizations working on migration and cohesion, and healthcare service provision through street-level bureaucrats.<\/p>\n
