Description: A research project mapping the unfolding controversy of Home Office immigration campaigns
This is the project website for “Go Home”: Mapping the unfolding controversy of Home Office immigration campaigns, an 18 month research project that explores the impacts on local communities and national debate of current publicity campaigns about migration by the UK Home Office.
Our detailed project findings were published in June 2015 at the end of the funded part of the project, and a book based on the project was published in March 2017 by Manchester University Press. We continue to write on findings from the project, and the website will continue to be updated to reflect this.
The project was supported by funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and by support in kind from four national civil society partners . The research was conducted by academic researchers from seven UK universities , in conjunction with local community organisations .
