Issues of asylum, migration, humanitarian protection, and integration/belonging are of growing interest beyond the disciplines of refugee studies, migration, and social policy. Rooted in more than two decades of scholarship, this book uses critical social theory and the participatory, biographical, and arts-based methods used with asylum seekers, refugees, and emerging communities to explore the dynamics of the asylum–migration–community nexus. It argues that interdisciplinary analysis is required to deal with the complexity of the issues involved, and offers understanding as praxis (purposeful knowledge), drawing on innovative research that is participatory, arts based, performative, and policy relevant.Less
