Discussant

Vanessa Hughes is a LSE Fellow in Social Policy since September 2019. Previously she was an ESRC-funded doctoral student in Sociology at Goldsmiths College supervised by Professors Les Back and Heidi Mirza, University of London. As part of her doctoral programme she spent two months at the Harvard Graduate School of Education hosted by Professor Roberto G. Gonzales. Before her doctoral studies, Vanessa worked as a researcher at the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society at the University of Oxford. In 2015 she co-founded the social enterprice actREAL which brings academic research on social issues into the community by using theatre and performance to bring it to life. Vanessa has also worked for the Council of Europe and the Migrants’ Rights Network. Vanessa’s main research interests are in people’s lived experience of migration, welfare and education policies, with a particular focus on how immigration status produces social inequalities and shapes stratification through restricting access to education and welfare rights. For her doctoral research Vanessa examined how precarious immigration status, race and life course shapes young migrants’ everyday life in London and produces simultaneous exclusion and exclusion at different scales and times and long-term uncertainty over their future. She is also interested in working with qualitative participatory methods and in a collaborative process with research participants. Her interest in participatory methods extends to her teaching approach, where she incorporates innovative and creative activities to offer a variety of learning experiences. Vanessa’s current research looks at the intersection of immigration status and time, and immigration status and education in shaping young people’s lives and to gain an understanding of how hierarchies are shaped within the UK immigration system. She co-edited a recent special issue of the Graduate Journal of Social Science, co-edited the book Citizenship and Its Others with Professor Bridget Anderson, and published articles in the journals Refuge, International Studies in Sociology of Education and the European Human Rights Law Review. Vanessa also co-authored the research reports ‘Outside and In: Legal Entitlements to Health Care and Education for Migrants with Irregular Status in Europe’ with Dr Sarah Spencer and ‘No Way Out No Way in. Irregular migrant children and families in the UK’ with Dr Nando Sigona.
