Abstract

This interview was originally conducted in March 2021 for Who do we think we are? (2021), a podcast series I host, discussing urgent questions of citizenship and migration in Britain today. At the heart of the series is a commitment to showcasing social science knowledge and understanding to demonstrate how these might challenge public and political understandings of Britishness and belonging and offer alternatives ways of thinking about a range of current issues, including the Windrush Deportation Scandal, the citizenship test, and the UK government’s commitments to the people of Hong Kong. The series follows a narrative format, using edited excerpts from the recorded interviews within each episode. Excerpts from this interview appear in Episode 9: What does it mean to be a citizen? (released 10 December 2021). https://whodowethinkweare.org/podcast-episode/how-do-protest-and-resistance-make-citizens-and-citizenship/.
