	<title><![CDATA[ Us and Them? Bridget Anderson on Migrants and Nation-States]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[ 	In this audio presentation, Bridget Anderson argues that people's fears about migrants taking their jobs stem from much deeper anxieties about nationality, culture, and race. Because the nation-state is simply not working for a lot of humanity, we need to come up with new ways to think about political communities. (Note: Anderson is a Professor of Migration and Citizenship at the University of Oxford.)
