Data description (abstract)

This data deposit is based upon a year-long ethnographic study of the digital lives of asylum seekers in the UK. The aim of the study was to understand the role that smartphones now play in the asylum application process and broader parts of everyday life (making friends, staying connected with family, navigating cities etc.). This project was co-designed with a charity in the NE England, and the interview questions were developed and implemented together. They span both sides of the project (i.e. in direct relation to the asylum application process and broader everyday life).
