Preventing homelessness at the intersection of hostile policies: the experiences of refugees in Cardiff

PhD researcher in the School of Geography and Planning at Cardiff University. Recipient of ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership 2022.

The broad aim of this studentship is to work collaboratively with the Welsh Refugee Council, Cardiff Council, Llamau – a leading homelessness charity in Wales – and people seeking sanctuary in Cardiff to better understand the qualitative housing experiences of refugees navigating the intersections of hostile migration, welfare and housing polices in a partially-devolved Welsh policy context.
