Politicising safety and racialised and gendered criminalisation
How the UK government has politicised asylum by categorising Albanian asylum-seekers as ‘criminals’ and Albania as a ‘safe’ country to advance an immigration deterrence agenda remains unresearched. We use agenda-setting and policy framing analytical insights to explain how and why UK government’s successful agenda-setting was underpinned by the racialised and gendered criminalisation of Albanian males and the politicisation of the safety conditio…
‘Paperwork or no paperwork, we are guests in this country’
The 2018 Windrush Scandal prompted widespread condemnation of the British government’s treatment of older Caribbean migrants. Yet broader questions pertaining to the effects of the scandal on the wider Caribbean community remain underexplored. Given the salient position that Caribbean mothers occupy in the British nation, this article examines narrative interviews with five Caribbean mothers living in London, addressing how the scandal affected t…
The racialization of whiteness in migrants’ residential decisions
There is a dearth of information on the link between racialised whiteness and migrants’ residential decisions in England. This article aims to address this knowledge gap by analysing the narratives of 41 Polish migrants who resided in England between 2015 and 2016. The investigation uncovers that race influenced their residential decisions in two primary ways: firstly, by the migrants relying on potentially harmful stereotypes to classify their n…
Fragile belonging
Research continues to emerge on the role of Brexit on migrants’ belonging in Britain, and this article contributes to the scholarship in related ways. The article draws on belonging as an analytical frame to examine how Polish migrant women in professional occupations challenge and negotiate their belonging at work. The article uses qualitative narrative interviews collected pre-Brexit (2015/2016) with Polish women living in Greater Manchester to…
Gender, modern slavery and labour exploitation
This paper examines how gender affects Polish men’s vulnerability to labour exploitation in Britain, given the relatively little research investigating the role of gender in modern slavery labour exploitation. Drawing on a sample of male Polish migrants living in England, this paper makes a novel contribution by addressing several potential shortcomings of prior analyses in analysing the role of gender at different moments of the men’s experience…
Spaces of harassment
This paper examines the community-level drivers of ethnic minorities’ experiences of harassment in Britain, particularly the role of community ethnic structure (ethnic composition, ethnic segregation and ethnic-change), socio-economic disadvantage, and residential stability. Drawing on an ethnic minority-booster sample of a large-scale UK panel dataset, we address several potential shortcomings with prior analyses to make novel contributions, inc…
What Does it Mean to Adopt a Trauma-Informed Approach to Research
Trauma-informed (T-I) approaches to working with vulnerable people have gained popularity in practice but are rarely used in academic research and little is known about the challenges of conducting a T-I approach to participatory research. This paper reflects on our experiences of a participatory peer research project involving unaccompanied young people seeking asylum (16-25 years) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Whilst the project adhered to a ro…
Community ethnic density, ethnic segregation, and ethnic minorities' common mental disorders in the UK
Ethnicity, Race and Inequality in the UK
50 years after the establishment of the Runnymede Trust and the Race Relations Act of 1968 which sought to end discrimination in public life, this accessible book provides commentary by some of the UK’s foremost scholars of race and ethnicity on data relating to a wide range of sectors of society, including employment, health, education, criminal justice, housing and representation in the arts and media.
