This is part of a very interesting panel on the British state and economy after Brexit! #PSA24

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Excited to be presenting later today at #PSA24 part of my PhD work on neoliberal civic solidarity, refugee resettlement and responses from the North East of England!

The #EU has agreed on policy proposals on #MigrationEU and asylum, setting the agenda for years to come.

This agreement will lead to a surge in suffering for #asylumseekers, #Refugees and #migrants on every step of their journeys🧵

Interesting to see how #RishiSunak & @JamesCleverly are framing the outcome of the #SupremeCourt judgement and where they are trying to shift attention towards. It offers insight on where they may want to go next. Six observations and a policy guess
1/6 🧵

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

The Immigration Minister gave a statement today announcing the closure of 50 asylum hotels. His announcement confirms what we've always said – there was simply no reason why more than 50,000 men, women and children ever needed to be crammed into wholly unsuitable hotels. /1

"The violent, racist attacks in Chlorakas and Limassol must serve as a wake-up call for authorities in #Cyprus to take immediate measures to tackle racist rhetoric and abuse, which have been on the rise in the country for years." @AdrianaTdn

I used to love to read. Now I'm in my Phd, and I read so much for school. The last thing I want to do is read more. So, I veg out in front of the TV. Anyone else temporarily lose your love of reading when you are in your PhD? I hope to go back to reading for fun when I graduate.

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Deeply concerning. https://t.co/HHpbnsit3P

A very important point was put forward by Myroslava Keryk from
 Ukranian House Foundation- academia should also consider its impact on the ground and output reports that would be useful to civil society in addition to any publications #IMISCOE2023

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Just attended a very insightful semi-plenary today discussing forced migration following the war in the Ukraine. Conversations included community and humanitarian responses in the Netherlands and Poland as well as the not so popular theme of Ukrainian IDPs! #IMISCOE2023

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

So interesting finally attending this annual meeting!

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

A mention on vulnerability is being made regarding climate vulnerabilities and what is the impact caused by inequality. Those least able to handle climate change are the ones most found in a vulnerable condition. #IMISCOE2023

A Semi-plenary on
Inequalities and
migration in search of the answers #IMISCOE2023

I’m comparison, medium sized cities were less experienced and without specialised NGOs pre-crisis.

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Identifying lots of similarities between UK local authorities and Polish cities-Larger cities faced a greater demand in their services but more services were available to migrants #IMISCOE2023

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Local-level migration policymaking in a crisis context with a focus on Central Europe unpacking refugee deservingness in Hungary and how the politizisation of solidarity is a conscious strategy #IMISCOE2023

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Warsaw University Library at the University of Warsaw where #IMISCOE2023 is taking place is looking fabulous!

[Georgia Dimitriou @GeorgiaDimitr15]

Sunak’s determination to appeal is an unethical echo of the government’s hostility towards asylum seekers which needs to be halted.

At least the Court recognised that Rwanda is an unsafe option for asylum seekers seeking protection 👇🏼

[Georgina Sturge @GRSturge]

Home Office has published its economic impact assessment of the Illegal Immigration Bill.

Cost of Rwanda policy estimated at ~£169,000 per person

Cost of accommodating one asylum seeker in the UK (for around 4 years) ~£106,000
