First asylum in the media blog

So, this is it, my first blog on asylum in the media. Right now, I'm intending to use this site to collect my observations about media stories which either feature asylum seekers and refugees, or which I consider important to the formation of wider issues that surround them. I've begun to construct a collection of links and resources that I think are interesting or useful. I'm envisaging the blog as a place for commentating on contemporary media and political discourses of asylum, but also for highlighting existing and new research. I'll also be thinking about some of the different ways in which asylum discourse and contemporary forms of racism more generally might be productively explored, and potentially developing new ideas for research.

If anyone actually finds my blog and has the inclination to respond to any of my posts, then that would be great!
