Dr Georg Lofflmann and Professor Nick Vaughan-Williams have recently published an 'Intervention' article, entitled 'Narrating identity, border security and migration: critical focus groups and the everyday as problematic', in Critical Studies on Security. This is part of a special section exploring research methods in critical security studies edited by Jacob Stump. The piece reflects upon a focus group discussion that they led together in Nottingham as part of the Leverhulme-funded 'Border Narratives' project. The article is available open access here.
