Professor Jenny Phillimore is a world leading scholar on Migration at the University of Birmingham. Her work focuses on refugee integration, super-diversity and access to social welfare with a particular focus on public health. Currently she leads the international SEREDA project which aims to understand the incidence and nature of sexual and gender-based violence experienced by refugees who have fled conflict in the Levant Region.
