The migration crisis, the extension of fear through ICTs and involvement of the University

Abstract

The present investigation is based on the crisis that the migratory movement is currently producing, and how the feeling of fear, freedom and security, fostered by the mass media and especially by social networks, can have an impact on increasing difficult, task of integration of immigrants in the receiving country. Migration is a problem on a global scale, which is going to increase and generate greater tension, due to migration due to climate change and the possible decrease in employment (worldwide) due to the increase in work robotization.

The objective is to reflect (based on the contributions of international organizations and relevant authors) and promote the inclusion of immigration issues, at the University, as a biopsychosocial and geopolitical phenomenon, relevant in today's society.

Based on these reflections and critical analysis on migration, some of the actions that should be promoted through the University for the integration of immigrants and other sensitization proposals within the Higher Education Institutions, on how to address this phenomenon of globalized mass mobilization, as a co-responsibility of the agents that make up the University of Guadalajara, creating or retaking initiatives from international public agendas, beyond discursive rhetoric.
