About the event

What is the future for UK migration?
Part of the Festival of Economics 2025

About this Event

Public discourse around migration to the UK has grown increasingly polarised. Following a period of record-high net migration, attitudes and policy have shifted. This panel explores the facts behind the rhetoric, offering perspectives on migration policy, migrants' experiences, and the wider historical contex.


Panel: Brian Bell (Migration Advisory Committee; King's College London), Toman Barsbai (Migration Mobilities Bristol, University of Bristol), Glen O'Hara (Oxford Brookes University), Suraj Modhvadiya (Universities UK).
