Role

I am currently a Research Fellow working with Dr Michael Collyer (Geography), Dr Linda Morrice (Education), and Prof Rupert Brown (Psychology) on an ESRC-funded research project on refugee resettlement. The project focuses on resettled refugees who arrived in the UK through the Gateway Protection Programme (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/asylum/gateway/). It is a multidisciplinary and multi-methods research project that will develop existing approaches to the integration of refugees through a longitudinal comparative study of resettled refugees in three different locations in the UK (Brighton, Greater Manchester and Norwich).
