Refugees
Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh, Rebecca Tipton and Tom Scott-Smith talk to John Gallagher about projects featured in an Imperial War Museum focus on the refugee experience.
What are the best shelters? the right language? what do we learn from the experiences in Syria ? A trio of researchers share their findings with John Gallagher as we mark Refugee Week 2020.
