Check out this new work from our colleague Paolo Novak:

Delighted to share a fantastic blog by our colleague Paolo Novak @Terminalias:

Asylum accommodation is a political battleground. Drawing on his research in Italy, Paolo shows how the UK’s case reveals that it is never just about housing, but about power, inequality, and belonging.

A timely and thought-provoking read for anyone working on migration, policy, or social justice.

"Five lessons the UK can learn from Italy’s asylum accommodation crisis"
