Making Asylum Seekers Legible and Visible: An Analysis of the Dilemmas and Mitigating Strategies of Asylum Advocacy in the UK and US

  • Start date: 01 September 2010
  • End date: 31 December 2011

This research will compare the approaches of different pro-asylum organisations in Britain and America using questionnaires and interviews. It aims to:

  • facilitate dialogue between different types of asylum activist organisations in order to promote best practice and the mitigation of risks
  • to provide a means by which asylum advocacy organisations can share their concerns and their proposed solutions about the challenges they face
  • to examine the different dilemmas that different asylum advocacy organisations, including advisory/legal, religious-affiliated, health-focused activist groups and campaign/awareness raising groups face either side of the Atlantic.

This research brings together an international and interdisciplinary team of scholars and aims to have a high impact not only within academia but also among the asylum activist community.
