My colleague, Dr Eve Hayes de Kalaf, reframes the Windrush Scandal in this article. An important read for anyone interested in the impact of the scandal particularly in relation to the theme of ‘statelessness’.
Delighted that my new Open Access article 'Reframing the Windrush Scandal as an International Statelessness Crisis' is finally out. Based on two years of research across Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago & the UK. shorturl.at/nrSyT
