📊 What we measure shapes what we manage. But do our metrics truly reflect the realities we aim to change?
In this episode of the Samuel Hall Stories Podcast, host, Devyani Nighoskar goes Behind the Metrics with Marta Trigo Da Roza, senior Researcher at Samuel Hall to unpack how the metrics we choose shape the policies, programmes, and lived experiences of people in contexts of migration and displacement.
Together, they explore:
✔️ Why defining what we measure is crucial for effective policy
✔️ The hidden biases behind common metrics
✔️ How to ensure human stories aren’t lost in the numbers
With real-world examples from our research at Samuel Hall, this episode is for anyone curious about how data influences the way we understand the world—and how we can use it to drive real change.
