Biography
Between January 2007 and January 2009 Dr Campbell was away from SOAS undertaking research funded by an ESRC Grant (RES-062-23-0296) entitled "Refugees and the Law: An ethnography of the British Asylum System". This research sought to follow refugees from Eritrea and Ethiopia who were seeking asylum in the UK. In April 2009 I convened a conference at SOAS to present research our findings and to look at how European state’s and the USA handle and assess asylum applications [access to the papers from this conference can be found at: www.nomadit.co.uk/refuge/].
