and policy concerning multilingualism in the UK: Dr. Mohammed Ateek (University of Birkbeck) and Dr. Judith Reynolds (University of Manchester).

In the presentation ‘ Striving for inclusivity in an exclusionary environment – conducting research with refugees and asylum seekers in the UK ’ , Dr. Reynolds reported and reflected on her own efforts to work ethically, responsibly, and reflexively with asylum seekers and refugees during her linguistic ethnographic doctoral study of communication in refugee and asylum legal advice meet-ings in the UK context.
