England have done brilliantly to reach the men’s #Euro2024 final. But we wouldn’t have got this far without immigration.
All of our goal & penalty shoot-out scorers so far are the children or grandchildren of immigrants. And if you trace the families of almost all the squad back, you’ll find migration stories. Discover how migration has shaped more than just the England team @migrationUK. #ENGSPA #ThreeLions #AllOurStories #ComeonEngland

Thought-provoking presentation today by @a_papoutsi at @IRiS_Birmingham on her ongoing ethnographic work on border control and the weaponisation of #time in Greece, Germany and the UK … but also on time as a space of agency, resistance and #solidarity!
Thank you for sharing your excellent Shadowlands film with us Dr @NidaKirmani. It really opened my eyes to something I knew nothing about in a very sensitive and creative way @UoBSocialPolicy@BirminghamU
ResearchBetterTogether. A really excellent event organised by @UoBSocialPolicy and @BVSCResearch exploring participatory methods in social care with local social enterprise and voluntary social care organisations. Looking forward to collaborating.
Today we hosted a #WSWD2023 international student conference: Respecting Diversity through Joint Social Action, with Warsaw and Berlin partner universities. We concluded with a commitment to joint social action through international solidarity @UoBSocialPolicy@socialworkUoB
