The Library and Refuge: locations, questions, methods, and ethics - The Library and Refuge explores how contemporary libraries are facilitating social integration, cross-cultural connectivity and knowledge-exchange for refugees and asylum-seekers. The Library and Refuge: locations, questions, methods, and ethics “In the library, I never feel alone. Never. It is a completely different space – it exists outside of time.” Anna, Ukrainian Psychologist now in Norfolk Data collection for this research involves participant observation, focus-groups and semi-structured interviews with (i) refugees and asylum-seekers who access libraries and (ii) service providers at these libraries (librarians, volunteers and social workers) in the UK and in key countries across Europe (including Germany, Greece, and Norway). In addition to public libraries, various types of libraries that offer services to refugees (including those established by NGOs, grassroot charities, and by refugees themselves) that aim to preserve their history, culture, and memories are also examined. During the first phase of the project, we are focusing on various libraries across Norfolk. We are conducting participant observation by attending migrant sessions, English Language Exchange sessions and Global Reading sessions at different libraries across the region. Participating in library sessions enables us to learn about migrants’ lives, as well as everyday practices and interactions at the libraries. As forced migrants are faced with multiple uncertainties and challenges, understanding the varied forms of vulnerability present, ensuring participant wellbeing, and addressing any potential risks for participants engaging in this research is of upmost importance. We focus on creating trust, non-hierarchical relationships, and establishing a safe space for sharing experiences and co-producing knowledge by researchers, participants, and practitioners. Rather than thinking of integration as the responsibility of the asylum seeker, ‘The Library and Refuge’ approaches integration as a collaborative process between the individual and the host community, nurtured by the local library and inspired by examples of mutual respect and knowledge exchange found in public and grass-roots libraries globally. The Library and Refuge explores how contemporary libraries are facilitating social integration, cross-cultural connectivity and knowledge-exchange for refugees and asylum-seekers. In recent years, the UK has seen the emergence of diverse library services for people who have experienced forced migration, including language learning sessions, access to relevant information and to technology, foreign language collections, as well as connections with local authorities and service providers. How do different groups experience services at the public library? What are the challenges and opportunities involved in accessing these services? What are the views and experiences of librarians in reorienting and delivering services for a wide range of communities who have experienced forced migration? This research employs an ethnographic approach to answer these questions, exploring whether and how libraries function as spaces for the acquisition and exchange of knowledge and social integration. While opening up public libraries as spaces for refugee support and integration is a rewarding experience for most librarians, it also comes with its own challenges. It requires the reorientation of library services and navigating how best to engage with different groups and their needs, and adapting to changes in workload and working environment. At the same time, the experience of accessing libraries for forced migrant groups is varied. While for some, it presents a familiar space that enables continuity of their experience and home, for others, exploring libraries is a new experience and opportunity. A forced-migrant who fled his home 12 years ago at the age of 14, stated that the ‘best thing’ at the library is the opportunity to simply enjoy some calm, ‘sitting silently and reading’, with the added potential of starting a conversation with somebody new.

The Global Library Project (1500–1700) reconstructs the journeys made by Anglo-Scots visitors to libraries across North America, Europe, and the Middle East during the early-modern period. By reconstructing the activities of these scholars, poets, and merchants, the project examines how knowledge- and cultural-exchange were enabled by inter-library travel. Journeys to and between libraries, the hypothesis suggests, served as a kind of epistemological catalyst across the period. About the Project The Global Library Project (1500–1700) reconstructs the journeys made by Anglo-Scots visitors to libraries across North America, Europe, and the Middle East during the early-modern period. By reconstructing the activities of these scholars, poets, and merchants, the project examines how knowledge- and cultural-exchange were enabled by inter-library travel. Journeys to and between libraries, the hypothesis suggests, served as a kind of epistemological catalyst across the period. The project, funded through a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, is divided into four work packages: (i) ‘Scholarship Across Borders’, (ii) ‘Library Access’, (iii) ‘The Library in Motion’ and (iv), ‘The Library and Refuge’. While the first three work packages are concerned largely with archival research, ‘The Library and Refuge’ examines how the library has historically been, and continues today, to be a place of sanctuary. Working closely with our Project Partners, Norfolk Libraries, we aim to establish a model of best practice for libraries in the support and integration of refugee communities at a local level, gathering examples and case studies from a range of sources globally. We deliver workshops, training, and seminars to international communities accessing public libraries in the UK. The content of these workshops is prompted by interviews with the communities we are hoping to help, responding to the interests and needs that the participants themselves have identified. At the heart of the project is the idea of a library as a lively place of exchange, both in terms of knowledge but also human experience. The library was, and still is today, a vitally social space.

About the Project Dr John-Mark Philo Dr John-Mark Philo, Principle Investigator John-Mark, originally from Glasgow, completed his studies at Oxford. Since then, he has carried on exploring translation, classical reception, and cross-cultural exchange in the early-modern period. This means that he is typically to be found in libraries and archives, examining manuscripts and correspondence and trying his best to decipher early-modern marginalia. With the Global Library project, John-Mark hopes to shows how libraries have historically been lively social spaces that have facilitated a range of important encounters between different kinds of people. This history of lively interconnectivity, he argues, tells us a lot about how the library functions today. He has volunteered with several NGOs and grass-roots charities, including the Chios Eastern Shore Response Team, Action for Education, and, most recently, the Dereham Aid Centre. Dr John-Mark Philo, Principle Investigator Dr Fariba Alamgir Dr Fariba Alamgir is an anthropologist with research interests in the politics of identity, resource access and governance. Her research primarily focuses on marginalized population groups, including indigenous communities and forced migrants. Prior to her role as a Senior Research Associate at the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia (UEA), she worked as a Teaching Fellow at the School of Global Development at UEA from 2022 to 2023, and as research fellow at the Centre for Development Studies at the University of Bath from 2018 to 2020. Before starting her PhD studies, she was a lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Dhaka. Fariba completed her PhD in International Development from the UEA and the University of Copenhagen in 2017. Her PhD research, focusing on land claims of indigenous population groups in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region in Bangladesh, contributed to the highly polarized debate about indigeneity and citizenship within the context of ethnicized land conflict and unsettled land governance. More recently, her work has focused on refugee and forced migration studies. She worked on Rohingyas’ claims and access to varied identities, documentary practices and their negotiation over varied categories used by the Bangladesh state and humanitarian organizations. Additionally, Fariba led a multidisciplinary and multi-sited collaborative research project exploring the factors shaping refugees’ access to mental health service in humanitarian settings in Bangladesh and Uganda. In our current project, Dr Alamgir is working on ‘The Library and Refuge’. By employing an ethnographic research approach, she is exploring how modern libraries serve/function as spaces of sanctuary, cross-cultural interactivity and knowledge exchange for the refugees and asylum seekers around the world. Dr Fariba Alamgir, Senior Researcher Dr Nailya Shamgunova Dr Nailya Shamgunova is a historian of early modern travel and encounter, with a particular interest in history of gender and sexuality. She studied at Queens' and Churchill colleges, University of Cambridge. Her graduate studies focused on vernacular English conceptualisations of sexuality and human difference around the world in the early modern period, with a particular focus on English contacts with the Ottoman Empire. Before joining UEA, she worked as a Stipendiary Lecturer at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, and as a Fellow in History of Empire at the London School of Economics and Political Science. At the LSE, Dr Shamgunova led a Master's programme in history of empires and globalisation, taught comparative imperial history and designed and delivered an award-winning module in global early modern queer history. Dr Shamgunova is passionate about outreach and has worked with various NGOs and initiatives over the years, including European Human Rights Advocacy Centre at the University of Middlesex. Dr Nailya Shamgunova, Senior Researcher Miram Azhari Miram, originally from Sudan, holds an MSc in Climate Change and International Development from the University of East Anglia. With a strong dedication to addressing climate-related challenges, Miram has focused her professional efforts on supporting refugees, particularly those affected by climate change, through her work with international non-governmental organizations such as the International Red Cross. In addition to her work with refugees, Miram has actively contributed to humanitarian development efforts in Sudan by collaborating with various NGOs. Through her experiences, she has witnessed the resilience and potential of refugee communities, inspiring her to pursue initiatives that promote social positive change and enrich society. Participating in the Global Library project, Miram aims to leverage her expertise to explore how refugees can contribute to social cohesion and community development, particularly through the utilization of libraries as spaces for learning, empowerment, and integration. Drawing from her own experiences as a refugee, Miram is deeply committed to working closely with refugee communities to build their capacity for integration into society while also providing essential mental health support. Miram joins the Global Library through a paid internship generously funded by our project partners, The British Centre for Literary Translation.

he Library Today goes beyond lending books. From offering a warm space to people in the winter months, to free sanitary products, public libraries in the UK deliver fundamental social support to some of the most vulnerable people in society The Library Today The Library Today goes beyond lending books. From offering a warm space to people in the winter months, to free sanitary products, public libraries in the UK deliver fundamental social support to some of the most vulnerable people in society. As one social worker puts it, “it is often the last resort of people who have nothing”. The Millennium Library, Norwich, for example, offers Job Support Sessions, Digital Skills Training, Arts and Book Clubs, Youth Groups, a “Warm and Well” initiative (which includes toiletries and domestic supplies), mother and baby groups, “International Welcome Sessions”, and language-exchange workshops. The Global Library project aims to support libraries in the services they provide for local communities, especially – given the themes of the project – for asylum seekers, refugees, and new arrivals to the UK. We are developing a programme of workshops and seminars which encourage cross-cultural exchange between different communities, from employability to language classes. In the pages here, you will find details of our workshops and seminars, as well as templates for establishing your own programmes in your own local library. If you would find it useful to have a chat about setting up your own workshops, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Resources Our workshops, seminars, and events respond directly to the needs and interests of the groups we are trying to help, with an emphasis on communities that have experienced forced migration. In a series of interviews and focus groups, participants identified 3 areas of greatest importance: (i) employment, (ii) language acquisition, and (iii) creative outlets. We have designed a portfolio of workshops tailored to these three areas. You can find templates here to set up workshops of your own in your public library.
