Date: 2020-11-02

Dr Carol Brown-Leonardi works at the Open University and since 2000 she has carried out long-term fieldwork and research projects on political discourse and non-renewable resources in the Mackenzie Valley, Canada and research on reindeer racing and training race reindeer in Northern Finland. 

Her current research investigates how Britain’s exit from the European Union has affected the perceptions and decision-making of mixed nationality couples (British and Finish) to stay and live permanently in Finland or the United Kingdom. 

Most recently, her work focuses on the Windrush deportee’s experience following the hostile environment policy to understand the levels of inclusion and exclusion experienced in both British and Caribbean society.
