The Global Migration Centre is delighted to announce that the 2025 Global Migration Award has been awarded to Claire Elizabeth Eastwood for her outstanding Master’s thesis in Anthropology and Sociology, entitled: The Intelligible Asylum Seeker: Creating an Affectively Credible Protagonist.
The Global Migration Award, created in 2013, promotes innovative and high-quality research on global migration. Each year, it rewards one Master’s student at the Graduate Institute for an exceptional thesis addressing issues such as mobility, forced or voluntary migration, displacement, citizenship, and diaspora. The award is granted through a competitive peer-review process and is open to all Master’s students regardless of specialization.
