Jonathan (Durham University) will explore how asylum has become a site of spectacle and staging framed around divisive and often unworkable proposals.
The lecture is part of the Migrants and Solidarities research project, and forms part of a series of events to mark the 50th anniversary of the Thomas Coram Research Unit.
The event will be followed by a drinks reception.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for those interested in migration studies, social sciences, health, and the UK immigration and asylum policy.
