Recognised by No State: Statelessness, Human Security, and the Violence of Non-Recognition
<p>In this episode, Luci Portugal speaks with Aleksejs Ivashuk, founder of <a href="https://apatride.eu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Apatride Network</a> and a leading advocate on statelessness in Europe, about what it means to live without recognition as a national by any state.</p><p>Moving beyond statelessness as a technical legal issue, the conversation explores how non-recognition shapes access to rights, mobility, education, work, healthcare, identity, and belonging. Through the lens of critical security studies, Luci and Aleksejs discuss statelessness as a form of human insecurity, asking whose security is protected by the state system and whose insecurity is made ordinary by it. The episode also considers Hannah Arendt’s idea of the “right to have rights,” the role of borders and citizenship deprivation, and why stateless-led advocacy is essential to producing knowledge and change.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><p>Foster, M., & Lambert, H.

Between Shores: Ashley Hickson-Lovence on About to Fall Apart
<p>In this episode of the CMR Podcast, Esther Zitterl, a PhD researcher in Black British literature and the Windrush legacy at the University of St Andrews, speaks with novelist Dr Ashley Hickson-Lovence about his 2026 novella About to Fall Apart (Faber).</p><p>Told in verse across the span of three days, the novella follows Aidy, a man of mixed Irish-Caribbean heritage living in a village on the Irish border. As he struggles to complete a short story, remain present for his children, and search for a mother he has never known, Aidy’s journey unfolds through fragments of memory, movement, and reflection.</p><p>Their conversation explores the creative possibilities of writing in verse, the role of rhythm and music in shaping narrative voice, and the emotional textures of migration, identity, and belonging. Moving between Belleek and Grenada, they reflect on the intersections between Black British literature and the landscapes of rural Ireland, tracing how place, history, and form inform both the novel and Hickson-Lovence’s wider work.</p><p>Thoughtful and wide-ranging, this episode offers insight into contemporary literary practice while opening up broader questions about heritage, storytelling, and the search for connection across borders.</p>
