In this Humanitarian Governance webinar, Dr Jannatul Ferdous discusses how media narratives and portrayals of displaced people has affected the Rohingya refugee crisis. 

Dr Jannatul Ferdous compares and contrasts the worldwide, Myanmarese and Bangladeshi coverage of the Rohingya refugee issue. She explores the ways in which media ideology, political economy and the Rohingya refugee crisis are portrayed in the media and how these factors contribute to the creation of several false identities for these people. 

By examining various sociopolitical, economic, cultural, racial, religious and geopolitical factors, she sheds light on the identity construction and portrayal of the Rohingya refugee crisis in the media.
