Reimagining, Repositioning, Rebordering: Intersections of the Biopolitical and Geopolitical in the UK's Post-Brexit Migration Regime (and Why It Matters for Migration Research) - Michaela Benson, Nand... This article examines the emergence of a new immigration regime in the United Kingdom, following its exit from the European Union, to uncover the entanglements ...

And ask how MAGA rhetoric and policy is making waves beyond the USA itself - including in the UK through our reflections on our work on migration and the making of Global Britain 3/ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We draw from our conversations with @rachelhumphris.bsky.social @drernestocast.bsky.social @cecimenjivar.bsky.social @hebagowayed.bsky.social to consider why it’s important to see the present moment as both exceptional but situated in a longer history of racialised politics ... 2/

S4 E5 The pace of change: MAGA, the US, the UK Who Do We Think We Are?

*NEW EPISODE ALERT* @nandosigona.bsky.social and I reflect on the pace of change when it comes to migration and Trump's MAGA project in this final episode of our Who do we think we are miniseries whodowethinkweare.org/podcasts/who... 1/

I had a great time with Michaela and Nando discussing Palestine, borders, and how the United States seems intent on the violence that'll beget its own destruction.

(As great of a time you can have discussing these things anyway)

Give it a listen!

This is a really important and much needed report on how the UK public view and understand #irregularmigration from @nandosigona.bsky.social and Laurence Lessard-Phillips @iclaimeu.bsky.social

“Our deeply unequal world needs a critical and engaged sociology now more than ever.”

Translating the Sociological Review Foundation’s mission into practical action has needed fresh thinking and a new approach, write @michaelacbenson.bsky.social and Maria Bellocci in the Magazine.

… and those employed and self-employed, as well as those living in the A8, EFTA, EEA Scandinavia …

But it is also open to any Brits who were living in the EU, EEA and EFTA by 31 December 2020

It is open to people of all ages! Was just trying to boost responses in other age groups. Would be great to be able to record your experience as part of the research.

Are you British and living in the EU, EEA, EFTA since before 31 December 2020?

I am still looking for more responses from those:
- Aged between 18 and 35
- Black, Asian and mixed-ethnicity Britons

If you know anyone who fits the bill, please share: lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This sounds really stressful (which is likely an understatement)

Thanks for doing this well needed study and survey. This sort of data is vital to expose the ongoing issues faced by Brits post Brexit in EU/EEA/EFTA and I would encourage as many people as possible to take part.

Probably deserves another blog ... just focused on that ;)

Here's me for @ukandeu.bsky.social arguing for the need to consider the longer tail of Brexit for British citizens living in the EU, EEA and EFTA member states

Thanks for sharing @lisaburton.bsky.social!

1/2 For the 1.2 million British citizens living in the EU, EEA and EFTA

Please take part in this survey

5 years since the end of the Brexit transition period means many Brits in the EU who were beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement, will be transitioning from temporary to permanent residence

This is what life is like for asylum seekers in the UK For asylum seekers in the UK, struggles are part of everyday life, shaped by policies that isolate, impoverish and dehumanise.
