About Liverpool ARK
Liverpool ARK – Liverpool Asylum and Refugees Knowledge – is an academic network on refugee studies at the University of Liverpool. We were created in January 2016, and are characterised by our interdisciplinarity and external engagement. We currently count on the support from 30 academics from 11 different departments of the University, and 44 external organisations and individuals across the country and beyond.
We aim to explore four broad themes:
- Refugees as individuals (micro-level theme, including individual health and well-being, and refugee identity);
- Refugees & society (meso-level theme, including economy, the community and family);
- Refugees & the state (macro-level theme, including international community and international organisations);
- Refugees & research (meta-level theme, including methodology, ethics and epistemology).
Throughout 2016, we have organised – by ourselves or in collaboration with other University research groups and external stakeholders – several events on topical refugee issues. We are continuously expanding and will go on planning events and initiatives of interest to the refugee community.
Liverpool ARK is currently co-ordinated by Dr Nuno Ferreira (Law), along with Professor Chris Dowrick (Psychology Health), Dr Diane Frost (Sociology) and Jennifer New (Sociology).
About Ice & Fire
ice&fire explores human rights stories through performance. We put human rights at the core of everything we do to make accessible theatre for a wide range of audiences across the UK.
We are a company with a distinct and determined voice, developing original theatre pieces from human rights testimony and documentary evidence. Each piece is shaped by the real people and communities with whom we closely work. From full-scale productions to making small pieces with vulnerable groups, our theatre-making is renowned as provocative, principled and innovative.
We believe that through theatre we can bring unparalleled understanding and empathy to some of the world’s most urgent issues. We want to empower people and communities to express their rights through the power of sharing stories and transporting performance.
It is our mission to inspire artists and audiences to create positive change in the world through human rights.
