Engaging anthropology. Lessons in the asylum field
This article describes a personal encounter of practices of the state with asylum applicants. The author raises twofold questions: firstly, how is the preparation of ill-treatment of migrants maintained; and secondly, what kinds of policy-oriented work may anthropology offer. She concludes that there is need for a long-term ethnographic research conducted by anthropologists on the institutional practices. However, this kind of the most professional involvement may not happen without implementation of policy research as part of our graduate training.
