  • Mapping flows, shaping spaces

    Open Access•M Berzi, Mattia Albertini et al.•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2026

    Knowing where, how and for what purposes people frequently cross borders has significant policy implications. However, limited data availability often hinders effective decision-making. The lack of granular, reliable and comparable data frequently leads to an underestimation of the true scale of cross-border movements within the EU. Additionally, the assessment of the socioeconomic potential of border regions does not consider the hypothetical el…

  • Opportunities and Constraints

    Open Access•Andrea Hjálmsdóttir, Laura Landertinger et al.•ARTICLE•Gender Work and Organization•2025•Referencias: 9

    Academic institutions reproduce the dynamics of gendered power relations and maintain gendered inequalities, a process exacerbated by neoliberalism in higher education. In this article, we study how the interplay between conditions within academia and welfare issues affects academics' decision‐making regarding their careers and family life trajectories in different welfare regimes. We draw on open‐ended interviews with 26 men and women working in…

  • Cultural narrative, crisis, and contention in Iceland's bid to join the European Union, 2009–2015

    Open Access•Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Michael J Carpenter et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Political Science•2024•Referencias: 35

    In the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, Iceland launched a bid to join the European Union. Joining the EU was presented domestically as a key to economic recovery and as a preventative measure against future economic distress. The bid itself was framed within a rapidly shifting political landscape, set against a backdrop of spreading economic malaise across Europe, accompanied by economic bailout plans and austerity measures. Several asp…

  • Austerity Talk and Crisis Narratives

    Open Access•Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Ari Finnsson et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 38

    The focus in this paper is on understanding the complex intersections between crises and memory politics in shaping conversations about citizenship through an examination of the two defining crises of our time: the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2008 and the migrant crisis in the European Union (starting in 2011 and continuing). The paper looks at these crises as narrative devices that intersect with memory politics in ways that heighten and in…

  • The Heroes and Villains of an Alternative Europe – How EU Contestation shapes Narratives of Europe in Germany

    Maximilian Conrad, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Politique européenne•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 20

    Cet article analyse la contribution de la contestation contre l’UE à une narration alternative de l’Europe. Se fondant sur des théories de l’euroscepticisme, l’article soutient que la contestation contre l’UE ne nécessite pas d’être basée sur un rejet fondamental de l’intégration européenne. En effet, elle peut faire une contribution constructive à une vision alternative de l’Europe en accentuant des valeurs comme la solidarité, la démocratie, le…

  • BIG (Borders in Globalization)

    Nicole Bates-Eamer, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir•ARTICLE•Journal of Borderlands Studies•2020•Referencias: 8

    Borders in Globalization (BIG) is an interdisciplinary and international research program led by Dr. Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly from the University of Victoria. This program has been conducting researc

  • The “Sociological Equation”

    Susan Strega, Leah Shumka et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2020•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 15

    Street sex work is deeply stratified, embedded in power imbalances and inequities; workers are multiply marginalized, relative to customers, in terms of race, class and gender. At the same time, these imbalances should not be equated with worker powerlessness. In this paper, we seek to counter the existing limited and polarized conceptualizations of agency that dominate the sex work literature by providing an assessment of the ways in which femal…

  • Welfare State Chauvinists? Gender, Citizenship, and Anti-democratic Politics in the Welfare State Paradise

    Open Access•Maria Sigridur Finnsdottir, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2019•Referencias: 37

    The rise of the far-right poses a pressing challenge to democratic politics and the democratization of political participation in Western Europe. This paper addresses this issue in the Scandinavian context, examining the importance of welfare chauvinism and gendered citizenship claims in the political rhetoric of the far-right. In so doing, we contribute to a need to examine closely the interplay between gender, citizenship, and welfare politics …

  • Performing Borders

    Open Access•Edwin Hodges, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2019•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 8

    Biometric security and screening systems have revolutionized border crossings. As bodies move across the physical space of the borderland, the border moves through them, scanning and cataloguing and scrutinizing bodies for irregularity. While such technologies have been scrutinized, they have largely been so through heteronormative and cisnormative lenses that fail to recognize the vastly different experiences of nonbinary, nonconforming, transge…

  • Overgrowing the Border? An Examination of Cascadian Culture and Cannabis Legalization

    Samantha Magnu, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Borderlands Studies•2019•Referencias: 5

    Globalization has challenged the role of borders in society, sparking interdisciplinary interest in the social reconstruction of the lines dividing the world’s population from one another. Border theorists have proposed that a few key factors promote cross-border integration: cross border policy-making, market forces, political clout, and culture [Brunet-Jailly, E. 2005. Theorizing Borders: An Interdisciplinary Perspective. Geopolitics 10, no. 4:…

  • Networks of Hate

    Edwin Hodges, Edwin Hodge et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Borderlands Studies•2019•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 8

    The “alternative right” or “alt-right” is a quintessentially twenty-first century phenomenon: a radicalized far right ideology that is proliferated and disseminated almost exclusively online with members drawn from all over the world. This paper argues that online debates within alt-right online communities about the acceptability of alt-right language and imagery are claims-making exercises that constitute examples of bordering processes. These …

  • Sex Trafficking at the Border

    Open Access•Alexander Norfolk, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2019•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 27

    The prevalence of human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labour in the Pacific Northwest has been well documented in recent years. This paper focuses specifically on trafficking for sex work across the British Columbia and Washington State border and seeks to determine whether the border is an effective instrument or tool for the identification and intervention of human trafficking for sex work. We provide an explora…

  • I Wanted to Feel Like a Man Again”

    Open Access•Leah Shumka, Susan Strega et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2017•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 14

    This paper examines the narratives of men who purchase sex from street level providers in a mid-sized city in Western Canada. We explore what men’s stories tell us about how masculinity is constructed in relation to street sex work. These men narrated their purchase of sex as attempts to exercise or lay claim to male power, privilege, and authority; at the same time, research reveals how tenuous this arrangement is for men. Study participants dre…

  • Social relationships and social support among street-involved youth

    Mark C Kennedy, Mary Clare Kennedy et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth Studies•2017•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 9

    Recent studies suggest that street-involved youth may have more robust and diverse social networks than previously thought. However, the supports offered by their social relationships have not been studied in detail. We analyzed descriptive quantitative data and open-ended interviews with 130 street-involved youth aged 14–18 in Victoria, Canada, to investigate the perceived roles and supportive functions of their most-valued social relationships.…

  • Contentious politics, grassroots mobilization and the Icesave dispute

    Open Access•Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2015•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 54

    In 2008 Iceland experienced the deepest and fastest economic crisis ever recorded in peacetime, which included the total collapse of its financial sector, as well as significant erosion of its currency. This paper concerns a localized protest movement that occurred in the wake of the 2008 crash in Iceland: the mobilization of protest to a settlement deal, known as the Icesave settlement. We interviewed just over 30 actors involved in the mobiliza…

  • ‘Knowledge is power’

    Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Bryan Eric Benner•ARTICLE•Health Risk & Society•2014

    The notion that ‘older’ mothers experience elevated risks during pregnancy and childbirth has proliferated since the mid-twentieth century. In this article, we take the contemporary concern with age as a starting point from which to historicise and contextualise the concept of maternity risk. To this end, we examine maternal hygiene manuals (self-help guidebooks on motherhood and pregnancy) published between 1880 and 1920 in Canada, the United St…

  • A Reasoned Action Model of Male Client Involvement in Commercial Sex Work in Kibera, A Large Informal Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

    E A Roth, Elizabeth Ngugi et al.•ARTICLE•Human Organization•2014

    Male clients of female sex workers (FSWs) are epidemiologically important because they can form bridge groups linking high- and low-risk subpopulations. However, because male clients are hard to locate, they are not frequently studied. Recent research emphasizes searching for high-risk behavior groups in locales where new sexual partnerships form and the threat of HIV transmission is high. Sub-Saharan Africa public drinking venues satisfy these c…

  • Providers' constructions of pregnant and early parenting women who use substances

    Open Access•Cecilia Benoit, Camille Stengel et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2014•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 6

    The research literature indicates that problematic substance use as a form of health behaviour is poorly understood, being sometimes viewed as deviance, at other times as a disease, and most often as a combination of these states. The use of substances by women who are pregnant or new parents is often conceptualised within an individualised framework. Yet drinking alcohol and using other drugs during pregnancy and early parenthood cuts across soc…

  • Benefits and constraints of intimate partnerships for HIV positive sex workers in Kibera, Kenya

    Open Access•Cecilia Benoit, E A Roth et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2013

    Intimacy and transactional relations are bound up with one another and intersect with the structural realities and vulnerabilities; this is the case for sex workers in well-resourced and resourced-constrained countries alike. Rather than treating intimate partnerships as distinct from transactional relationships, FSWs' relationships should be viewed on a continuum of risk and support

  • The Mother‐Citizen and the Working Girl

  • Partners and clients of female sex workers in an informal urban settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

    This paper compares and contrasts number of partners and condom use behaviour for female sex workers and a sample of women working in other economic activities, with both samples drawn from the large informal settlement of Kibera, Nairobi. As expected, univariate analysis revealed much higher numbers of overall sexual partners and higher levels of condom use among female sex workers compared to Kibera women in other occupations. An unexpected fin…

  • Courtesy stigma

    Open Access•Rachel Phillips, Cecilia Benoit et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2012•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 23

    Courtesy stigma, also referred to as 'stigma by association', involves public disapproval evoked as a consequence of associating with a stigmatised individual or group. While a small number of sociological studies have shown how courtesy stigma limits the social support and social opportunities available to family members of stigmatised individuals, there is a paucity of research examining courtesy stigma among the large network of people who pro…

    This article examines the mutability of symbolic sanctions- or stigmas-applied to sex industry work by examining newspaper narratives in one medium-sized Canadian city over two time periods: 1870-1910 and 1980-2004. The article's purpose is first to get a sense of what the authors call the ecology of stigmas-their relation to the temporal and spatial contexts in which they are produced-and second to give needed historical context to them and the …

    Intimacy and transactional relations are bound up with one another and intersect with the structural realities and vulnerabilities; this is the case for sex workers in well-resourced and resourced-constrained countries alike. Rather than treating intimate partnerships as distinct from transactional relationships, FSWs' relationships should be viewed on a continuum of risk and support

  • The Mother‐Citizen and the Working Girl

    Open Access•Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Cecilia Benoit et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue…•2013•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 21

    L'État providence Canadien est déséquilibré: leader mondial dans certains domaines de l'investissement social—plus particulièrement en soins de santé et enseignement supérieur—il traîne dans d'autres domaines de la dépense d'aide sociale, y compris les politiques de garde d'enfants. Nous constatons qu'aujourd'hui la résistance dans la plupart des régions du Canada à la politique de garde d'enfants universel a des racines historiques profondes. El…

  • ‘Knowledge is power’

    Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Bryan Eric Benner•ARTICLE•Health Risk & Society•2014

    The notion that ‘older’ mothers experience elevated risks during pregnancy and childbirth has proliferated since the mid-twentieth century. In this article, we take the contemporary concern with age as a starting point from which to historicise and contextualise the concept of maternity risk. To this end, we examine maternal hygiene manuals (self-help guidebooks on motherhood and pregnancy) published between 1880 and 1920 in Canada, the United St…

  • A Reasoned Action Model of Male Client Involvement in Commercial Sex Work in Kibera, A Large Informal Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya

    E A Roth, Elizabeth Ngugi et al.•ARTICLE•Human Organization•2014

    Male clients of female sex workers (FSWs) are epidemiologically important because they can form bridge groups linking high- and low-risk subpopulations. However, because male clients are hard to locate, they are not frequently studied. Recent research emphasizes searching for high-risk behavior groups in locales where new sexual partnerships form and the threat of HIV transmission is high. Sub-Saharan Africa public drinking venues satisfy these c…

  • Providers' constructions of pregnant and early parenting women who use substances

    Open Access•Cecilia Benoit, Camille Stengel et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Health & Illness•2014•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 6

    The research literature indicates that problematic substance use as a form of health behaviour is poorly understood, being sometimes viewed as deviance, at other times as a disease, and most often as a combination of these states. The use of substances by women who are pregnant or new parents is often conceptualised within an individualised framework. Yet drinking alcohol and using other drugs during pregnancy and early parenthood cuts across soc…

  • Contentious politics, grassroots mobilization and the Icesave dispute

    Open Access•Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir, Emmanuel Brunet-Jailly et al.•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2015•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 54

    In 2008 Iceland experienced the deepest and fastest economic crisis ever recorded in peacetime, which included the total collapse of its financial sector, as well as significant erosion of its currency. This paper concerns a localized protest movement that occurred in the wake of the 2008 crash in Iceland: the mobilization of protest to a settlement deal, known as the Icesave settlement. We interviewed just over 30 actors involved in the mobiliza…

  • I Wanted to Feel Like a Man Again”

    Open Access•Leah Shumka, Susan Strega et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2017•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 14

    This paper examines the narratives of men who purchase sex from street level providers in a mid-sized city in Western Canada. We explore what men’s stories tell us about how masculinity is constructed in relation to street sex work. These men narrated their purchase of sex as attempts to exercise or lay claim to male power, privilege, and authority; at the same time, research reveals how tenuous this arrangement is for men. Study participants dre…

  • Social relationships and social support among street-involved youth

    Mark C Kennedy, Mary Clare Kennedy et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Youth Studies•2017•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 9

    Recent studies suggest that street-involved youth may have more robust and diverse social networks than previously thought. However, the supports offered by their social relationships have not been studied in detail. We analyzed descriptive quantitative data and open-ended interviews with 130 street-involved youth aged 14–18 in Victoria, Canada, to investigate the perceived roles and supportive functions of their most-valued social relationships.…

  • Welfare State Chauvinists? Gender, Citizenship, and Anti-democratic Politics in the Welfare State Paradise

    Open Access•Maria Sigridur Finnsdottir, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Sociology•2019•Referencias: 37

    The rise of the far-right poses a pressing challenge to democratic politics and the democratization of political participation in Western Europe. This paper addresses this issue in the Scandinavian context, examining the importance of welfare chauvinism and gendered citizenship claims in the political rhetoric of the far-right. In so doing, we contribute to a need to examine closely the interplay between gender, citizenship, and welfare politics …

  • Performing Borders

    Open Access•Edwin Hodges, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2019•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 8

    Biometric security and screening systems have revolutionized border crossings. As bodies move across the physical space of the borderland, the border moves through them, scanning and cataloguing and scrutinizing bodies for irregularity. While such technologies have been scrutinized, they have largely been so through heteronormative and cisnormative lenses that fail to recognize the vastly different experiences of nonbinary, nonconforming, transge…

  • Overgrowing the Border? An Examination of Cascadian Culture and Cannabis Legalization

    Samantha Magnu, Helga Kristín Hallgrímsdóttir et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Borderlands Studies•2019•Referencias: 5

    Globalization has challenged the role of borders in society, sparking interdisciplinary interest in the social reconstruction of the lines dividing the world’s population from one another. Border theorists have proposed that a few key factors promote cross-border integration: cross border policy-making, market forces, political clout, and culture [Brunet-Jailly, E. 2005. Theorizing Borders: An Interdisciplinary Perspective. Geopolitics 10, no. 4:…
