fennia-126844	Meziant, Kahina; Meziant, Kahina	On reading non-participation as refusal	2023	10	.pdf	application/pdf	6572	341	49	The remainder of this paper delves into the space of asylum and migration charities and their politics of participation before providing insight into the politics of Segue, the charity I volunteered with for just under two years. Examining instances in which members did not comply with charity leaders’ expectations, either by quitting, not participating, or not adhering to arbitrary rules, I propose that this assumed passivity reveals a paradox in Segue and many charities aiming to centre the voices of people with lived experience: while the challenges of limited resourcefulness combined with austerity are real for many, ‘good intentions’ alone are insufficient if organisation leaders are not explicitly reflecting on and addressing the internal micropolitics (Su 2018) that are to blame for the failure to encourage participation.	cache/fennia-126844.pdf	txt/fennia-126844.txt
