Myria Georgiou

Myria Georgiou is Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at LSE.

Professor Georgiou researches and teaches on migration and urbanisation in the context of intensified mediation. Adopting a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, she is committed to putting the human of the urban, transnationally connected world at the core of her research. Specifically, in research conducted across 6 countries over the last 20 years, she has been studying communication practices and media representations that profoundly, but unevenly, shape meanings and experiences of citizenship and identity.

She has also worked as a consultant for a number of regional and international organisations, most importantly the Council of Europe in three different projects.
