Immigrant Dad Podcast https://immigrantdadpodcast.podbean.com Immigrant Dad Podcast is a public humanities podcast about migration, fatherhood, and the stories we carry with us.

Born out of my doctoral research on migration, this podcast is my way of centering immigrants' own narratives, challenging dominant narratives about migration, and taking discourse on migration outside the academy and into the public. In each episode, I sit down with immigrant fathers from different backgrounds to talk about their journeys, the lives they've built, and the hopes they have for themselves and their children.

These conversations explore questions of identity, belonging, education, family, and home. They are honest, thoughtful, and deeply personal. While every story is unique, together they reveal what it means to navigate fatherhood across borders and cultures.

Whether you're an immigrant, the child of immigrants, a parent, or simply someone who enjoys listening to people's stories, I hope you'll find something here that resonates with you.
