The extent to which the outcome of the European Union referendum (“Brexit”) has shaped the experiences of belonging and community for migrants living in the United Kingdom has been the subject of much concern. This project utilised a mixed method longitudinal survey to collect data on migrants' experiences of belonging and community after the Brexit referendum. Adult migrants living in the United Kingdom (N = 311) completed a survey containing measures of community and belonging along with qualitative prompts to encourage their reflection on expectations for the future of their lives in the UK after Brexit. They completed these questionnaires at "baseline" and at 1-month and 6-month follow-ups.
We are currently working on analyzing and disseminating the data, and the following papers have been published:
Findings have been covered in a variety of media outlets, including:
