Research study to probe how the Windrush Scandal unfolded more than 70 years on HISTORY: Caribbean immigrants arrive at Tilbury Docks in 1945 (Image via Archives) A NEW study will examine how the UK’s “open door” immigration policy resulted in the 2018 Windrush Scandal. Researchers at the University of London’s School of Advanced Study (SAS) have received funding to undertake the project. The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) will also provide a contributing focus on the history of changes to immigration policy which led to the scandal. SAS academic and lead researcher, Dr Juanita Cox, said: “A six-month scoping project on the Windrush Generation and their relationship to the British State (1948-2018) funded by the University of London’s Convocation Trust pointed to a longer history behind the hostile environment of detention, deportation and denial of citizenship. It highlighted too, a broader interplay between community activism and Caribbean diplomacy.
