Using administrative data to evaluate national policy impacts on child and maternal health: A research framework from the Maternal and Child Health Network (MatCHNet)
Reducing health inequalities by addressing the social circumstances in which children are conceived and raised is a societal priority. Early interventions are key to improving outcomes in childhood and long-term into adulthood. Across the UK nations, there is strong political commitment to invest in the early years. National policy interventions aim to tackle health inequalities and deliver health equity for all children. Evidence to determine th…
The Ethical and Practical Challenges of Archiving Refugee Accounts: Reflections from Two Research Projects in the UK
Since the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’, the lens of researchers has been increasingly focused upon asylum seekers and refugees around the world. Nevertheless, working in the field of refugee studies poses several methodological and data challenges. For example, there is a relative paucity of detailed statistical data on refugee stocks, which has led to researchers favouring the collection of personal, qualitative stories from refugee populations. Althou…
Swimming With Ideas: What Happens to Creativity in the Wake of a Disaster and the Waves of Pro-Social Recovery Behaviour That Follow
Creativity that is driven by a need for physical or economic survival, which disasters are likely to inspire, raises the question of whether such creativity fits with conventional theories and perspectives of creativity. In this paper we use the opportunity afforded by the 2010–2013 Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes to follow and assess the creative practices and responses of a number of groups and individuals. We use in-depth interviews to t…
Family experiences of visitor attractions in New Zealand: Differing opportunities for ‘family time’ and ‘own time’
Studies of family leisure and holidays reveal that an important goal of these experiences is the fostering of family togetherness and social connectedness away from usual work/life pressures. As outlined by Schänzel and Smith (2014), however, family experiences of leisure include opportunities for both ‘family time’ and ‘own time’. Family time incorporates opportunities for strengthening family bonds by creating family memories and allowing learn…
Seeking Safety beyond Refuge: The Impact of Immigration and Citizenship Policy upon Refugees in the UK
Western states are concerned about maintaining and securing national borders. Across Europe, one response has been to implement restrictive asylum regimes that prevent ‘bogus’ applicants and grant refuge only to the ‘deserving’. Alongside these concerns, states are eager to encourage socially cohesive communities. One recent tool adopted by the UK government has been citizenship policy, including English language/life in the UK tests and citizens…
UK Dispersal Policy and Onward Migration: Mapping the Current State of Knowledge
Since 2000, the UK Home Office has implemented a policy of dispersal whereby asylum seekers are housed on a no choice basis in locations around the country. Although the aim of dispersal is to determine local and national movements of asylum seekers, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the role played by dispersal in onward migration flows. Indeed, the majority of literature on UK dispersal has focused upon critiquing the policy for be…

Exploring the asylum-migration nexus in the context of health professional migration
Exploring the vulnerability of asylum seekers in the UK
Asylum seekers living in the UK are identified as a vulnerable group in contemporary society. Empirical results from in‐depth interviews are drawn upon in the paper to uncover the everyday experiences of asylum seekers. This material is then employed to engage critically with the concept of ‘vulnerability’. Three main themes specifically structure the discussion: the interstitial position of asylum seekers in the nation state is explored; the spa…
Deficiencies in UK Asylum Data: Practical and Theoretical Challenges
In the UK there is a lack of data on asylum and refugees, which creates practical and theoretical challenges for researchers within refugee studies. This paper reports on three substantive issues. Firstly an audit of available asylum data in the UK is presented. An evaluation of the data sources utilized by researchers reveals that there is a ‘diet’ of asylum and refugee data. This results in real practical challenges. Secondly, UK asylum data is…
Professional and managerial migration from core to periphery: The case of English migration to Scottish cities
The population of English‐born persons living in Scotland has risen rapidly since 1971. The dynamics of the group are theorised in this paper relative to the escalator region hypothesis, in terms of the role of professional and managerial staff linking global cities with lower‐order urban centres within their hinterland. A hierarchical log‐linear modelling approach is taken in explaining the highly structured geography of English migration to Sco…
Interpretive evaluation: Towards a place approach
The way in which interpretation has been evaluated in the past is examined. A diverse range of studies is identified and reviewed. These studies are organised and discussed within a framework derived from a landscape perception classification system originally developed by Zube, Sell and Taylor. Discussion considers the main contributions and omissions of previous evaluation work and suggests an alternative approach to evaluation informed by theo…
