      abstract = {This book is an intellectual trampoline. It makes you  bounce, turn somersaults, back flips and then drop to your  knees. Its the opposite of a rollercoaster. It helps you  see above, beyond, behind and beneath. Serious exercise for  mind, body and spirit, stretching concepts of home and  belonging like elastic so show all the many powerful and  extraordinary ways those who have to re-home themselves or  make home with strangers open up new horizons for us all,  giving us a glimpse of life over the fence. Alison Phipps,  Professor of Languages and Intercultural Studies UNESCO  Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the  Arts, University of Glasgow This book explores the notion  of home in the wake of the so-called refugee crisis, and  asks how home and belonging can be rethought through the  act of creative practices and collective writing with  refugees and asylum seekers. Where Giorgio Agamben calls  the refugee the figure of our time, this study places the  question of home among those who experience its ruptures.  Veering away from treating the refugee as a conceptual  figure, the lived experiences and creative expressions of  seeking asylum in Denmark and the United Kingdom are  explored instead. The study produces a theoretical  framework around home by drawing from a cross-disciplinary  field of existential and political philosophy, narratology,  performance studies and anthropology. Moreover, it argues  that theatre studies is uniquely positioned to understand  the performative and storied aspects of seeking asylum and  the compromises of belonging made through the asylum  process.

She often  combines research and politically engaged arts-practice  around themes of refugees, asylum, migration and  storytelling. .},
