Tamara Vukov joined Media@McGill as a visiting postdoctoral researcher in the fall of 2007. Her doctoral research examines the role that news media events around migration and refugee asylum play in the racialization and increasing closure of Canadian immigration policy. Her postdoctoral research looks at how transnational noborder movements for migrant and non-status peoples engage corporate, independent, and tactical media in their efforts to challenge the current security-obsessed regulation of immigration.

Tamara has been involved in social movement activism, independent media and media arts for over ten years, and produces film, video, and digital media in both documentary and more experimental genres. She is a founding member of the Volatile Works media arts collective.
