Brexit Brits Abroad

In this episode Michaela reflects back on the Brexit Brits Abroad research project, drawing out some of its key take away messages. She talks through the different factors that shape how Brexit has been experienced by British citizens living in the EU-27: the terms and conditions on which their lives rest, their place of residence, their local and international connections and relationship, their social position, and their physical and mental health. As she explains, the case of what Brexit means for British citizens living in the EU-27 offers a lens onto the values and assumptions that underpin legal frameworks guiding migration and free movement and into broader questions about who counts as European and who is a citizen.
