We Need To Talk About Whiteness - with Dr Suzanne Hall

Ep 27: Whiteness and migrants – The UK depends on migrants for many of our key services, from food to transport, and of course the National Health Service. And yet, immigration is often rated as Britain’s ‘most important issue’ with almost half of Brits favouring less of it, a serious cleavage point since Brexit. Dr Suzanne Hall is Associate Professor in Sociology at the LSE and an interdisciplinary urban scholar. Her work connects the asymmetries of global migration and urban marginalisation, exploring the racialised frameworks of citizenship and economic inequality and their everyday contestations. She is also the author of the recently released “The Migrant’s paradox: street livelihoods and marginal citizenship in Britain” – She joins me to discuss whiteness and migration.
