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.

In this episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast, as India’s COVID-19 crisis continues, we look at what’s holding back the country’s vaccination rollout and how a shift in strategy on distribution and pricing is causing concern. And we speak to a researcher who went hunting for fungi in the world’s largest seed bank.
India’s catastrophic COVID-19 crisis shows little sign of improving. On May 12, the country reported 348,421 new cases and a record 4,205 new deaths from COVID, taking the total number of deaths to over 250,000. Many observers think these official figures could be substantial underestimates as hospitals struggle to provide the sick with oxygen and beds, and crematoriums overflow.
