My name is Casey and this is Becoming Europe. I’m a current PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh studying French Studies, specifically the relationship France has with its migrant population. After studying different national and international policies proclaiming the sense of a unified cultural European identity and a sense of welcoming migrants with open arms, I created this podcast in the effort to interview those who are directly affected by these policies, migrants themselves and organizations, in order to further shed light on the real-life impacts and risks of these policies.  Join me in an effort to humanize the intangibility of national/international policy and see exactly what are the stakes in Becoming Europe.
