The broad aim of this studentship is to work collaboratively with the Welsh Refugee Council, Cardiff Council, Llamau – a leading homelessness charity in Wales – and people seeking sanctuary in Cardiff to better understand the qualitative housing experiences of refugees navigating the intersections of hostile migration, welfare and housing polices in a partially-devolved Welsh policy context.
