1/ Presenting the 29th Chapter of the Open Access Volume by @UCLpress edited by @FiddianQasmiyeh entitled 'Refuge in a Moving World: Refugee and Migrant Journeys Across Disciplines' entitled 'Exploring in-betweenness: Alice and spaces of contradiction in refuge' (pp 440-460)

2/ In 2016, with the support of @EmmaCheatle I formulated a response to the mass-movement of migrants & refugees across the globe as part of my M-Arch degree @BartlettArchUCL

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 ('14-16) was the case study for this research.

6/ Creative Critical Writing: Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass' 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's pilgrimage through Wonderland.
