Shamim Miah and Ajmal Hussain join us to interview Claire about returning to her research on Muslim men and the construction of the Asian Gang in Britain over 20 years on. This episodes looks at changing identities of the original participants as they transition into adulthood in the context of the War on Terror, 'grooming gangs' and increased Islamophobia in Britain.

Welcome to this collaborative two-part series with the Centre on the Dynamics of Ethnicity at the University of Manchester. In these episodes we explore the research conducted at the centre focused on ethnic, racial and religious inequalities in the UK.
