Peopling Immigration Control: Geographies of Governing and Activism in the British Asylum System
This presentation begins to explore immigration decision makers’ stories. Drawing upon two research projects, it shows how their working practices and environments produce decision makers who are systematically pre-disposed towards exclusionary uses of their discretionary authority. It therefore lays bare both the agency of immigration decision makers and the geographies that seek to constrain and steer that agency. It also sets out the implications of this struggle for activists in the forced migration arena.
