The latest Reform proposal of mass detention and deportation is deeply horrifying. The threat to deprive the freedom of thousands of innocent people without trial, and to do so with such glee for political gain, ought to opposed by anyone who believes in freedom and human rights
I wrote this piece for Public Ethics discussing whether the changes to the UK refugee protection system - where refugees will now only be given 30 months protection, periodically renewed, under constant threat of deportation - is justifiable

'Hillier-Smith’s book, in short, is an excellent contribution to an important debate; it is complex, morally persuasive, and original. Even those of its readers who are unconvinced by its conclusions are likely to find much of value in its arguments'.
Thrilled that my book has received this excellent review from Michael Blake in the Notre Dame Philosophical Review, with some really thought-provoking and fair critical comments.

Campaign to oppose the recent proposals to halve the leave to remain for refugees, which will create serious uncertainty and anxiety for refugees as well as massively increase bureaucratic costs. Immoral and unworkable. https://t.co/PW7H2cfS9u
Serious concerns that the latest military action against Iran will cause an immense displacement crisis. Iran already hosts 2 million refugees who may be displaced again as well as new Iranian refugees
This week I will be giving a talk at the Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford on 'Grounding the Components of an Ethical Response to Refugees'

I, along with other academics and practitioners in refugee advocacy, have been working on a policy document with proposals for a more ethical response to refugees. We will be circulating it to policy-makers. It's available here
