What do states owe #refugees they have created? My new book, out now, argues that asylum should act as a form of reparation for the unjust harms of displacement bit.ly/3qoizAn
ALT The cover of Asylum as Reparation: Refuge and Responsibility for the Harms of Displacement by James Souter
I have a new article, 'When home isn't home anymore: towards a political theory of displacement without movement', which is just out in EJPT. It's been a long time in the making, so it's nice to see it finally published!
It's available open access here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Hi Marcus @RefugeePolitics, that's a great example, thanks, and not one I've found discussed in work on displacement without migration or movement so far - will consider!
Arlie Russell Hochschild's 'Strangers in Their Own Land' about the American right is the closest I've found so far. Thanks in advance for any suggestions (3/3)
Anyone on here who works on migration know of any literature that addresses this, either directly or indirectly? I’m wondering if literature on the impacts of immigration on trust/social cohesion (which I could do with brushing up on) may be relevant (2/3)
I'm currently working on how displacement may occur without movement/migration, and one possible case I’m considering is that long-established residents may feel a loss of home due to large-scale immigration to their neighbourhoods, whether for prejudiced reasons or not...(1/3)

One day until UCU members at @UniversityLeeds start *indefinite strike action* caused by senior management's mishandling of the dispute over pay, casualisation, workloads and equal pay. The vice chancellor could solve this at any time but is inexplicably choosing not to. 1️⃣⏰🚨🪧
Thank you, and likewise - I really appreciate that, and was very glad to read your insights on the book!
Good to see that a new review of my book, Asylum as Reparation, has just appeared in the latest issue of @PoPpublicsphere. Thanks to @PattiTLenard for the sympathetic and constructive response to its arguments! bit.ly/3Cgg2P0 @palmacpolitics

Please share & sign our petition asking University of Leeds to rescind their threat of further pay deductions at a rate of 100% pay for staff who do not deliver teaching missed on strike days i.e. additional deductions beyond strike deductions shorturl.at/bsLM3 #UCUstrike

(5/6) Next is @JSouter2's 'Asylum as reparation' (@Palgrave). Souter delivers a thoughtful and hopeful rethink for anyone disillusioned with the quagmire of states' obligations to refugees. @Se_Clark1's review here: doi.org/10.1093/ia/iiac295
