MERLIT-associated researcher, Tola Ositelu is a featured contributor towards VUB-BIRMM research group's commemorative op-ed series for International Migrants' Day 2025. Tola's article focuses on the UK establishment's conflicted relationship with migration, using the late 2010s so-called Windrush/Home Office scandal as a case study. The piece also widens the lens to consider the current political landscape in much of the West and hostile policies aimed at deterring migration, particularly from the Global South.
