1/ Presenting the 29th Chapter of the Open Access Volume by @UCLpress edited by @FiddianQasmiyeh entitled & #39;Refuge in a Moving World: Refugee and Migrant Journeys Across Disciplines& #39; entitled & #39;Exploring in-betweenness: Alice and spaces of contradiction in refuge& #39; (pp 440-460)
3/ #RefugeInAMovingWorld Part IV
Spaces of Encounter and Refuge:Cities and Camps in a Moving World collates empirical research w/refugees & migrants in cities, towns, & informal settlements, offering insights into how people inhabit, negotiate & live in diverse spaces of refuge.
4/ Chapter 29
In-betweenness: The premise of the research was that through the mass movement of populations, a new form of cities & spaces had emerged. I referred to these as ‘the cities/spaces of in-between’, which blurred & challenged our perception of temporariness/ permanence
5/ The In-between City: a migratory and transportable entity that moves apace with its inhabitants, existing briefly in certain transient spatio-temporal conditions. The Jungle transient camp in Calais (& #39;14-16) was the case study for this research.

6/ Creative Critical Writing: Carroll& #39;s & #39;Alice& #39;s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass& #39; was chosen as an unlikely political allegory in fiction to underpin and structure a critical analysis of the spatial politics of refuge in Calais.

7/ Investigating Carroll’s dream spaces addressed fundamental questions surrounding concepts of spatial memory and perception. Alice became the vehicle that allowed for a single-point perspectival view of the particularities of immigration.

8/ This fictional vehicle operated on several levels, the first of which was the geographical narrative of the dream world or, more specifically, the landscapes that guide and shape Alice& #39;s pilgrimage through Wonderland.
