Today is #WindrushDay

22nd June marks the anniversary of the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush in 1948.

Here is a link to an article by @mcslaven about how the individualisation of UK #Immigration control is key to understanding the Windrush Scandal...

We had a great time discussing our new book "States of Ignorance" yesterday evening. Thanks to everyone who attended, to @skape_ed and @CSMCH_Edin for hosting, and to our excellent discussants @CettaMainwaring, Enda Delaney, and Abdellali Hajjat.

Super-excited about our @seeingimmigrant book launch for 'States of Ignorance' with @CettaMainwaring, Enda Delaney & Abdellali Hajjat. 29 Jan, 17:00-19:00 in Meadows Lecture Theatre, U of Edinburgh. Come if you can! Details: https://t.co/vxeokLtG1H

In this case, it gives me no joy to emphasise topicality, but our book has loads of insights into the long histories that led to today's Supreme Court ruling on #Rwanda, especially in the chapters by @mcslaven.

[Emile Chabal @emile_chabal]

There are few joys quite so pure as the one felt when taking delivery of a new book, especially one filled with brilliant insights from the @seeingimmigrant team. I hope some of you (especially historians!) will read it, if you can.

Finally, I get to post the compulsory ‘our new book just arrived’ tweet…. Genuinely over the moon about this, the product of multi-year collaboration with @emile_chabal, @mcslaven, Sara Casella, Elisabeth Badenhoop @seeingimmigrant @ESRC ❤️🙏

All chapters of the "Research Handbook on Irregular #Migration" are now available as PDFs on this website, including the chapter I co-authored with Charles Heller and Lorenzo Pezzani:

Asylum applications run like a parlour game. This kind of policy can only come from people privileged enough to see everything as a game and ignorant enough to have never read a single study about the intricacies of providing evidence in an asylum case.

So pleased to have this land on my doormat this morning - from Wuppertal via Glasgow. Congrats to our @seeingimmigrant member Elisabeth Badenhoop on this fantastic achievement.

[Christina Boswell @BoswellPol]

Very excited to see this - we’re almost there, after almost 7 yrs of collaboration on this project… 🤗

[Erik Bleich @ErikBleich1]

A terrific book.

[Emile Chabal @emile_chabal]

I'm inordinately proud of this book, which took a lot of hard work. It's properly interdisciplinary, properly empirical, properly theoretical, and properly historical. Great chapters from the project team and so many insights throughout. (Plus the endorsements are so lovely!)
