Research topic: Who are the demos anyway? An exploration of how elites in England and Scotland discursively construct the citizen and the Other at various spatial levels.
My research focuses on the elite discursive construction of migrants and citizens within England and Scotland at a national and sub-state level. In particular, I aim to explore how communities (and thus belonging) is created at different spatial levels, and how identity translates across these. In doing so, I hope to shed light on how belonging is varied across Britain.
