Jennifer Allsopp
Jennifer Allsopp is a Birmingham Fellow at the University of Birmingham. Her work centres on how people move and mobilize to support what they perceive to be viable futures for themselves, their families and their societies in the context of migration. Her first co-authored book, Policing Humanitarianism: EU Anti-Smuggling Policies and their Impact on Civil Society (Hart, 2019), reports on extensive fieldwork which she conducted in Hungary and Serbia, Italy, Greece, the United Kingdom and France between 2015 and 2018 at the height of the so-called European ‘refugee crisis’. Her second co-authored book, Youth Migration and the Politics of Wellbeing (Bristol University Press, 2020), is the product of a cutting-edge four-year participatory research project, Becoming Adult, which examined the well-being trajectories of over one hundred unaccompanied young migrants and refugees in Europe.
