This paper draws on fieldwork with a befriending scheme that pairs refugees, asylum seekers and local residents in the north east of E ngland. It explores the ways in which a ‘quiet politics’ of encounter, embedded in intimate relationships, is caught up in and productive of complex inter‐scale geographies, highlighting the ebbs and flows across security and insecurity. Critically, it foregrounds the relationality of emotions in enabling and maintaining intimate‐geopolitics.
