Very happy to see this out on perceptions of welfare deservingness for different categories of migrants, together with @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social and Samir Negash @fggaleiden.bsky.social, open access in EPSR:
Congrats! Well-timed and from a brief skim seems to chime with what we find regarding NHS health access versus other forms of benefits. I like the segmented language too. Would love to meet up and compare notes if any of you are going to @epssnet.bsky.social this week. bsky.app/profile/will...
Absolutely fascinating polling by @christabelcoops.bsky.social @thinklabour.bsky.social. Says a lot about the (mis)perceptions of voters - and the cues they use to evaluate the social background of politicians.
When people think about migrants and welfare, they often ask a simple question: Should migrants have access to social benefits?
Our new paper with @alexandreafonso.bsky.social and Samir Negash suggests the answer is much more nuanced.
