A historical Lense on Belgium's migration policy
In this episode we talk to VUB researcher Ellen Debackere to talk about her book “Welcome to Antwerp? Antwerp's immigration policy, 1830-1880”. This book is a historical account of how a Belgian city dealt with the arrival and integration of newcomers. Did people in the 19th century have similar thoughts and concerns about migration? What can we learn from a historical look at migration? These questions will be addressed in this episode. Listen to the full episode on Soundcloud or Spotify!
