  • Another episode in English – another important topic. With Yannis Wong, PhD student at the Department of Anglophone Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen, we discuss his research and delve into the complex world of British immigration policy, focusing on the British National Overseas (BNO) Visa Scheme for Hong Kong residents. Yannis explains how this seemingly humanitarian initiative actually reflects colonial legacies and selective immigration practices. We also look at the hidden narratives behind official and media rhetoric, examining how language is used to justify and normalise historical injustices.
