A panel with Vanessa Montesi, Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier and Emily Clifford, chaired by Josephine Greenbrook. This event explores borders, trafficking, family migration and diasporas to discuss how nationhood and identity are formed and negotiated by those who have come from outside the UK.
What does ‘nation’ mean, a decade on from the Brexit referendum? How do dual or multiple identities impact on belonging? What are the emotional, psychological, and social consequences of UK migration policies?
The event takes place on the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum, and in the year of the 75th anniversary of the Refugee Convention.
This event can be attended both in person and on-line.
