Who cares for you? Child migrants within the immigration and welfare nexus | RFTRW: S17E04
3 October 2022
This podcast hears from Dr Rachel Rosen and two young researchers, Mika and Gulli, who came to the UK as children and sought asylum here.
For separated child migrants - or unaccompanied minors in legal terms -听鈥榗are鈥� is ambiguous: they听may receive care because of their 鈥榗hild鈥� status or be excluded from provision because of their 鈥榤igrant鈥� status. We start听from the premise that care is not limited to what can be provided by an adult or the state, but can come from other separated children themselves.
This episode's presenter Dr Keri Wong finds out听how听participatory and creative research can help researchers like Dr Rachel Rosen to unpack听the complexities of contradictory and changeable immigration and welfare systems. Dr Rosen co-leads听, a project听investigating听separated child migrants鈥� experiences of care听and caring for others听as they navigate these systems in England.
The discussion features reflection听and experiences from two peer researchers,听Mika and Gulli, who came to the UK as children and sought asylum here.
"Stories too big for a case file: Unaccompanied young people confront the hostile environment" will be shown to public audiences during听An evening of sensory film at the Bloomsbury Theatre on 10 October 2022.
