About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Sofia Patel, an expert in migration and disaster management. She's here to discuss her course, the Masterclass Certificate in Migration and Disaster Preparedness. Dr. Patel, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've worked in various humanitarian crises around the world, from natural disasters to conflict-induced displacement. These experiences highlighted the need for professionals who can effectively manage emergency response and migration. HOST: That's fascinating. Can you share some current trends in this field that learners can expect to study? GUEST: Certainly, we're seeing a rise in climate change migration, which presents unique challenges. Also, the refugee resettlement process is evolving, requiring policymakers to adapt quickly. HOST: Indeed, those are critical issues. Now, what would you say are some of the biggest challenges faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the need for continuous learning due to the rapidly changing nature of disasters and migration patterns. Also, making sure learners understand the complex intersection of migration, disaster, and human rights law can be challenging but rewarding. HOST: It certainly sounds like a complex yet vital area of study. Lastly, where do you see the future of migration and disaster preparedness heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more focus on anticipatory action, where we prepare for disasters before they occur, and greater integration of migration considerations in disaster risk reduction strategies.
