Language is important for processof integration says Gareth Mulvey from @scotrefcouncil but it’s not a silver bullet e.g. refugees who speak English and ethnic minorities born in UK also often struggle to access labour market @PolStudiesAssoc @ScotParl #refugeepolitics
UK government treats resettled refugees as ‘good’ and everyone else arriving under their own steam as ‘bad’. This narrative has implications for how everyone is treated i.e. #HostileEnvironment does not differentiate but affects everyone perceived as ‘other’ #refugeepolitics
We live in societies in which there are structural inequalities and in which racism is rampant says Gareth Mulvey from @scotrefcouncil Really important that this is said and acknowledged otherwise integration will never be understood as a two-way process #refugeepolitics
Some of most interesting solidarity-building initiatives are taking place at very local level, question is how to connect these to city/national levels and amplify them so they impact of wider political and media narratives says Gareth Mulvey from @scotrefcouncil #refugeepolitics
