Abstract
Through using auto-ethnography and self-observation research methods, and applying the concept of liminality, this chapter observes life in the direct provision centre, which is a liminal stage or condition wherein something is not properly or entirely clarified and acknowledged, to identify and analyse problems that asylum seekers experience. In turn, it helps to understand how living in liminality can affect asylum seekers’ health, their families, and their integration.
