Who Do We Think We Are?

I had a great time with Michaela and Nando discussing Palestine, borders, and how the United States seems intent on the violence that'll beget its own destruction. (As great of a time you can have discussing these things anyway) Give it a listen!

This is a really important and much needed report on how the UK public view and understand #irregularmigration from @nandosigona.bsky.social and Laurence Lessard-Phillips @iclaimeu.bsky.social

Nando Sigona@nandosigona.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Today we published a report on public understanding & attitudes to #irregularmigration in the UK. this is my a one-line summary: strong opinions, wrong facts. But there is so much more to it. Ultimately the picture is much more nuanced and complex... i-claim.eu/project/publ...

Why did “lifestyle migration” capture so many social scientists’ imagination – and how has it travelled in the 25 years since The British on the Costa del Sol?

Are you British and living in the EU, EEA, EFTA since before 31 December 2020? I am still looking for more responses from those: - Aged between 18 and 35 - Black, Asian and mixed-ethnicity Britons If you know anyone who fits the bill, please share: lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Thanks for doing this well needed study and survey. This sort of data is vital to expose the ongoing issues faced by Brits post Brexit in EU/EEA/EFTA and I would encourage as many people as possible to take part.

Here's me for @ukandeu.bsky.social arguing for the need to consider the longer tail of Brexit for British citizens living in the EU, EEA and EFTA member states

UK in a Changing Europe@ukandeu.bsky.social · last yr.

"In contrast to EU nationals in the UK, we know relatively little about how British citizens in the EU have been faring since the end of the Brexit transition period." ✍️ @michaelacbenson.bsky.social considers the impact of Brexit for British citizens living in the EU ukandeu.ac.uk/british-citi...

1/2 For the 1.2 million British citizens living in the EU, EEA and EFTA Please take part in this survey 5 years since the end of the Brexit transition period means many Brits in the EU who were beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement, will be transitioning from temporary to permanent residence

This is what life is like for asylum seekers in the UK

For asylum seekers in the UK, struggles are part of everyday life, shaped by policies that isolate, impoverish and dehumanise.
