DESCRIPTION:Mr. Jon Spencer\, Senior Lecturer in Criminology University o
 f Manchester\n\nTitle: Becoming Undocumented and Staying Undocumented: T
 he Routes to Irregularity and No Way Back\n\nThis seminar reports on the
  outcomes of an ESRC Impact Accelerator Award (IAA) on the Rights of Und
 ocumented Migrants. The seminar will explore the following areas: How mi
 grants become undocumented\, the experiences of being undocumented\, the
  problem of policy engagement and impacting on policy direction and deve
 lopment. \nThe routes to being undocumented\, or irregular\, are many an
 d are these are out of the control of the individual in many cases. Lega
 l changes\, rule changes and changes to status that all appear a little 
 haphazard are common. The asylum system works as a highly discretionary 
 system with many involved in the process feeling powerless and lacking a
 utonomy. This seminar will explore these issues and report on the experi
 ences of the respondents who were part of the IAA project. One of the ke
 y aims of the project was to have an impact on policy. The seminar will 
 explore the different routes to impact that the project engaged in and a
 sk questions about how feasible it is to attempt policy change in an are
 a that is politically highly charged and publicly presented through a ho
 stile discourse. The findings from the research suggest that potentially
  new ways could be successful in policy engagement. \n\nhttp://www.manch
