‘The relevance and value of this project for migration policy and social cohesion is huge. Insight from the Nation of Refuge research and public engagement can help shape a fair and just future refugee policy framework, ensuring lessons learned from the past inform policy of the future.

I’m excited to see how the mixed methods research approach employed by the researchers can help unpick the complexity of Britain’s relationship with refugees. It’s essential that refugee voices and experiences are central, ensuring a ‘done with, not done to’ philosophy.

There are many opportunities to get involved in the public engagement aspect of this work, including visiting the exhibition at Reading Museum in 2027. Be part of a project that can make a real-world societal impact.’

 

I am excited about the opportunity to:

• support the Nation of Refuge PI and researchers to deliver a cutting-edge, impactful 4-year research programme.
• Work with the team to develop a Theory of Change with clear vision, objectives and impact measures.
• Develop a strategic approach to stakeholder engagement and communication.
• Support the team in developing positive, long-term relationships with stakeholders.
• Further develop the Nation of Refuge website.
• Provide general administrative assistance to the team.
• Get a taste for academic life, learn about other research methodologies and further develop my skills on impact measurement.
