Presentation
The journal Observatoire de la société britannique is a peer-reviewed journal of British area studies. It publishes scientific articles in English and in French which cover political, economic and social matters in contemporary Britain. The journal has a unique position in the current scientific landscape: it offers academics the opportunity to discuss the methodology used in the field of social sciences, and, with an insistence on international comparisons, enriches British civilisation studies in French academia.
The journal is published biannually. It also issues the proceedings of the international symposiums organised by the Observatoire de la société britannique network (see “Le réseau OSB” for a description of the academic consortium).

Immigration and Cultural Diversity in Post-Brexit Britain: Political and Social Challenges
This issue of the Observatoire de la Société Britannique is based on a one-day conference held in April 2022 at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris by MIDIB (Migration and Diversity in the British and Irish Isles) and essentially features contributions by PhD candidates who participate actively in the MIDIB network. These articles focus in particular on two aspects: the place of migration and diversity in the debates on Brexit and the documentation of the increasingly diverse diasporic communities that shape contemporary British society while featuring distinctive patterns of political participation too.
