‘The Nation of Refuge project creates an important space for thinking across literary studies, community collaboration, and public culture. My strand looks at how refuge is mediated through writing, storytelling, and material interpretation, and how these forms contribute to wider cultural understandings of refugees and refuge in Britain.<\/em><\/p>\n

I am especially interested in approaches that allow refugees not only to be represented, but also to participate in interpreting and producing culture. Through literature, workshops, and museum engagement, this work asks how new understandings of refuge can emerge.<\/em><\/p>\n
