Dr Rachel Rosen

Profile

I am an Associate Professor at UCL Social Research Institute, with a focus on unequal childhoods, social reproduction, and migration. My scholarship focuses on marginalised children and families, especially those with precarious immigration status; the intersection of welfare and border policies which shape their lives; and their practices of sustenance and care. I am committed to change-orientated research for social justice and co-design and collaborative knowledge production lie at the heart of my approach.
