Episode 2: Claiming Asylum

On today’s episode, we are joined by Erfan and Jo. Erfan is a community organiser, campaigner and refugee from Iran with recent experience of the UK’s asylum process and the infamous Napier Barracks. Jo Wilding has experience working as a barrister supporting migrants and refugees, and now works as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Brighton.

We explore the feelings of powerlessness, dehumanisation and anxiety that people going through the UK’s asylum and immigration system can experience; the importance of support and the struggles to find it when resources are thinly stretched; and – once again – the power people can have when they organise.
