In this episode host Bridget Anderson is joined by Rizza Kaye Cases and Caitlin Procter, who are part of the team that has been carrying out interviews with irregular migrants across Europe. In the past year they have been busy analysing 233 interviews and the conversation here focuses on this post-fieldwork process and findings. Bridget asks Rizza and Caitlin how they have gone about analysing so much qualitative data, what the most significant findings are so far and what the policy implications might be for these. They also consider how this data speaks to the theoretical and conceptual debates on migration and status.
