PROJECT: The Brexit Project: EU nationals, disability, gender, care and migration (completed project)

With Brexit looming after the 2016 referendum, there was an increasing concern about the risk that the ‘exit’ from the EU would increase intersectional disability, health and care inequalities in the UK. In response to this, I completed in 2018 the small project ‘The Brexit Project: EU nationals, disability, gender, care and migration’. This resulted in a blog post, a contribution to a podcast interview, and an invited book chapter.
