Conflicts near and far have left lasting direct and indirect impacts on us all. With the food, fuel and the cost of living crisis, it feels like we’re in uncharted waters, with everyone trying to stay afloat.

Conflict has always been a source of mass migration and as people move, labels tend to blur so we thought it's important to understand the differences between refugees and asylum seekers as those labels will impact their experience of receiving support, care and legal representation.

In this preview of Season 17 of Research for the Real World we'll hear from:

• Dr Caroline Oliver on asylum seeker reception, integration and the role of local communities
• Dr Bernardita Muñoz Chereau on how we can support children from refugee backgrounds who have found themselves in underperforming schools
• Professor Mette Berg on listening to the experiences of those navigating the UK asylum seeker system
• Dr Rachel Rosen and two young researchers who came to the UK as children and sought asylum on unpacking the complexities of immigration and welfare through participatory and creative research.
