About this Event
A panel with Vanessa Montesi, Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier and Emily Clifford, chaired by Josephine Greenbrook. This event explores borders, trafficking, family migration and diasporas to discuss how nationhood and identity are formed and negotiated by those who have come from outside the UK. What does ‘nation’ mean, a decade on from the Brexit referendum? How do dual or multiple identities impact on belonging? What are the emotional, psychological, and social consequences of UK migration policies? The event takes place on the tenth anniversary of the Brexit vote, and in the year of the 75th anniversary of the Refugee Convention.
This event is part of the Making A Nation series for 2025-26: https://www.iash.ed.ac.uk/news/making-nation-series-2026
This is a free event, which means we overbook to allow for no-shows and to avoid empty seats. While we generally do not have to turn people away, this does mean we cannot guarantee everyone a place. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.
