In today’s episode, we sit down with Noora Lori, Associate Professor of International Relations at Boston University and the director of the Middle East–North Africa Initiative, and discuss her research including the idea of “permanent temporary” status of migrants in the Middle East, with the United Arab Emirates as a case study. She also explores the possibilities that the interdisciplinary study of International Relations brings for undergraduate students at BU. Listen in to learn about immigration-related initiatives on campus, like the Pardee School Initiative on Forced Migration and Human Trafficking, and how to get involved!
