Settlement: Inclusion & Exclusion

This theme of our work considers the complex and rapidly evolving relationship between immigration status, citizenship, and rights, responsibilities and entitlements for migrants and refugees.  Our research in this area is concerned with the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, and of visibility and invisibility of certain groups in aspects of social and political life in the UK and public sector service provision.  A further strands of our work here concerns studies of refugee and migrant organisation in community organisations and migrant-dense working environments.
