Congratulations to Professor Louise Ryan, our Visiting Professor, who leads this special editon of Discover Society and Professor Maggie O'Neill who has an article in it - Migration & Hostile Environments, New Series, Volume 3, Issue 2, 3 April 2023.

This issue of Discover Society brings together discussions of groups who are often considered separately, in order to explore how anti-immigration policies and discourses operate across and within national and ethnic groups.  The authors are all leading researchers and thinkers in their field and use empirical evidence to bring novel insights into this timely and highly topical social issue.
