One stark issue that has confronted us since setting up the Centre, is the plight of many International PGRs. So much so that we commissioned Ankita Mishra to produce a report that investigated the major issues and necessary actions for change. Here she is to explain further:

It was such a honour to share my understanding for home at the @MigMatFest last week as part of the @CEI_Sheffield archive. Happy to be part of the Lit Collective project of young female writers’ understanding of home and belonging too! Their poems are amazingly touching 🥰
