Research
The Centre for the Study of Migration benefits from the expertise of colleagues from the School of Languages, Linguistics and Film, the Departments of Law and Politics and the School of Medicine and Dentistry.
The interests of those working with the Centre allow for interdisciplinary dialogue on migration, as well as for developing multi- and transnational perspectives on migration. Research interests range from the historical to the contemporary and include:
- studies of the impact of Eastern European Migrants on Britain
- refugee and migrant health issues, including HIV Aids and TB
- the processes of settlement in London of Huguenots, Jews, Indians, African-Caribbeans, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries
- border controls, populations flows and security
- migration from Africa to Europe through Spain
- religion, society and immigration
- rights for non-citizens
- migration and culture
- representations of migrants in film and photography
