Kavita Datta, Queen Mary College

[Dave Birch] Dr. Kavita Datta is a Senior Lecturer in Geography at Queen Mary, University of London. Her most recent research focuses upon the role and experiences of low paid migrant workers in London and is detailed in the new book Global Cities at Work. Kavita is also interested in geographies of finance, and specifically financial exclusion among low paid migrant workers. These interests are being developed in a project, Migrants and their Money, which adopts a holistic focus on migrant workers financial lives; links financial histories to practises and identifies the key challenges that diverse migrant communities in London face in accessing financial services. In this podcast, she talks about the migrant workers' use of financial services and, in particular, money transfer.
