What’s the significance of migration for the making of ‘Global Britain’? And what are the theoretical and conceptual tools that can help to unpack this question? In this episode, we turn our attention to the value of racial capitalism for understanding migration to and from the UK after Brexit. Elena Zambelli explains what we mean when we talk about ‘Global Britain,’ its political trajectory, and the role of coloniality within it. Ida Danewid, Lecturer in Gender and Global Political Economy at the University of Sussex joins us to offer insights into the relationship between racial capitalism, migration and borders. As she highlights, mobility controls produce the exploitable labour force necessary for capitalist accumulation and how those migrantized resist state violence. And co-hosts Nando Sigona and Michaela Benson consider what a racial capitalism lens adds to understandings of the UK's new suite of humanitarian visas, and more broadly to the role of migration in the making of Global Britain.  You can access the full transcripts for the episode, further resources and active listening questions over on our website: <a class="Hyperlink SCXW61870319 BCX0" href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Who do we think we are?</a>

What’s the significance of migration for the making of ‘Global Britain’? And how can a lens on racial capitalism help us to make sense of migration to and from the UK after Brexit? 

S3 E10 Migration and the making of Global Britain

What are the UK Government’s ‘safe and legal routes’? How do these relate to ‘stop the boats’, the Rwanda Plan, and the curtailment of asylum as laid out in the 1951 Refugee Convention? What can we learn from listening to the Hong Kongers and Ukrainians beneficiaries of these humanitarian visas? And what if these routes are not so safe after all?    In this episode we explore the UK’s safe and legal (humanitarian routes). Elena Zambelli explains what ‘asylum’ is, looking its history, scope and challenges to these international protections since 2015 ‘refugee crisis.’ Fizza Qureshi, CEO of the <a class="Hyperlink SCXW169337430 BCX9" href= "https://migrantsrights.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Migrants’ Rights Network</a>, board member of <a class="Hyperlink SCXW169337430 BCX9" href= "https://migrant-at-work.webnode.co.uk/about-me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Migrants at Work</a> and of the honorary advisory committee for the <a class= "Hyperlink SCXW169337430 BCX9" href= "https://www.facebook.com/p/Black-Europeans-100086720080458/?_rdr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Black Europeans</a>, joins us to offer a critical overview of the UK’s immigration and asylum reforms over the past decade. Asking what this tells us about migrants’ rights, she highlights how these reforms impact disproportionately on brown and black migrants who try to make the UK their homes. And co-hosts Nando Sigona and Michaela Benson consider the ongoing contestations surrounding the figure of the ‘refugee’ as well as the asylum system as a whole. They reflect on how beneficiaries of the Hong Kong BN(O) and Ukraine visa schemes experience these humanitarian visas, and what we can learn from them about the limits of these.   You can access the full transcripts for the episode, further resources and active listening questions over on our website: <a class= "Hyperlink SCXW169337430 BCX9" href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Who do we think we are?</a>

S3 E9 (Not so) safe routes

What’s Brexit got to do with the ‘small boats’ crisis? What does racialised border violence in the Channel tell us about 'Global Britain’? And what can we learn about the UK’s approach to its borders from the Hong Kong BN(O) and Ukrainian visas? We discuss all of this and more as we turn a lens onto Fortress Britain.   Elena Zambelli explains what we mean when we talk about migrants’ irregularisation. We’re joined by Arshad Isakjee and Thom Davies talk about their research on the racialised border violence enacted by Fortress Europe and why we need to turn our attention to how this relates to the EU’s liberal values. And Nando and Michaela turn the lens back onto UK and its post-Brexit borders as they discuss the new suite of ‘safe and legal (humanitarian) routes’, and what these signal about the future of asylum within and beyond the UK.  You can access the full transcripts for each episode over on our website <a class="Hyperlink SCXW97796514 BCX0" href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Who do we think we are?</a>

S3 E8 Fortress Britain?

Migrant laborers worldwide are engaged in care work, but who provides care for them? And where can they seek care? In this discussion with Ethel Tungohan, the author of 'Care Activism', we go beyond the headlines that portray migrant domestic workers as victims or heroes. By focusing on their daily lives and the experiences of migrant care workers, we explore various sites of everyday resistance, ‘dissident friendships’, and the politics of critical hope and care. You can access the full transcripts for each episode on the <a href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/">Who do we think we are? website</a>.

<description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Migrant laborers worldwide are engaged in care work, but who provides care for them? And where can they seek care? In this discussion with Ethel Tungohan, the author of 'Care Activism', we go beyond the headlines that portray migrant domestic workers as victims or heroes. By focusing on their daily lives and the experiences of migrant care workers, we explore various sites of everyday resistance, ‘dissident friendships’, and the politics of critical hope and care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt; You can access the full transcripts for each episode on the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Who do we think we are? website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="MsoHyperlink"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;In this episode we cover …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Migrant care workers in Canada and the UK&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Migrant agency and everyday lives&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Resistance and care activism&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;strong style= "mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style= "mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Active Listening Questions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;What can we learn from looking at the everyday lives of the migrants?&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;How does Ethel explain why migrant care workers’ organisations emerged?

Migrant laborers worldwide engage in caregiving work, but who provides care for them? And who can they turn to for care? These inquiries are at the centre of our discussion with Ethel Tungohan, as she shares insights from her new book ‘Care Activism’.

BtH2 E2 Beyond the headlines … Care Activism with Ethel Tungohan

What happens when borders cross families? How do families navigate these interruptions to their ability to live together? This episode considers what shifting perspective to families opens up to view in terms of thinking about the work of borders and their impact on people’s everyday lives. Helena Wray, Professor of Migration Law at the University of Exeter, explains the historical development of family migration laws and what these make visible about the racialization of the nation and its political community. Elena Zambelli explains what a ‘mixed-status family’ is, and the many ways in which states may affect its members’ everyday lives and future imaginings. And co-hosts Nando Sigona and Michaela Benson consider how the state’s regulation of family migrations is linked to the reproduction of the nation state, and draw on data collected within the MIGZEN project to show the effects of Brexit on British-European families.  You can access the full transcripts for the episode, further resources and active listening questions over on our website: <a class= "Hyperlink SCXW127254778 BCX0" href= "https://whodowethinkweare.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Who do we think we are?</a>
