A welcoming Northern Ireland? Understanding sentiment towards asylum seekers and refugees

In this seminar on 22 November 2018, Lucy Michael (Ulster University) reviewed data from the 2017 Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey and Young Life and Times Survey on attitudes to refugees, asylum seekers and ethnic minorities.  In addition, considered the extent to which refugees both represent a unique focus for attention within the immigrant population and also offer a proxy for other kinds of views on immigration.
