Our research in this area addresses international, European and national frameworks of protection for asylum seekers, both as abstract notions and in terms of actions and procedures. We aim to better understand the operation of the status determination process in the UK from multiple stakeholder perspectives. Our work has addressed issues such as asylum decision making at first decision and appeal, and the provision of publicly funded legal advice for asylum seekers in the UK, as well as matters of borders and enforcement and asylum seekers' experiences of surveillance regimes.
