About this Event
Against a backdrop of increasingly polarised national debate and hostile public narratives around migration, we will examine how these pressures are experienced locally and how they shape feelings of safety, belonging and protection. The panel will consist of presentations from scholars and experts in the field, followed by open discussion and interactive Q&A where you will have the opportunity to share your perspectives and lived experiences. Light lunch and refreshments will be provided.
