Asylum is a research area that focuses on the legal, social, and ethical aspects of providing refuge and protection to individuals who are fleeing persecution, conflict, or other forms of harm in their home countries. Researchers in this field may study the asylum process, the experiences of asylum seekers, the policies and practices of host countries, and the impact of asylum policies on individuals and communities. They may also explore issues related to mental health, trauma, cultural adaptation, and integration among asylum seekers. Overall, research in the area of asylum seeks to understand and improve the protection and support available to those seeking safety and security in a new country.
