It includes research aimed at understanding and examining the role of the media in the interpretation and reproduction of images of "otherness", and in the creation of an ideological framework for interpreting events involving migrants.

It also looks at gender issues such as marital violence, the experiences of migrant women working in the domestic help sector, and the treatment of migrant women in the press.
