Critical Visual Encounters
This paper offers a reflexive account of a decade of critical visual encounters at and with the border, conducted by researchers and artists with lived experience of forced displacement. It demonstrates the value of creative visual methodologies across sites and borders through long-term, interdisciplinary collaboration. Drawing on participatory photo-projects and research-arts initiatives, the paper centres migrants’ underrepresented perspective…
Introduction
Decoding “decolonising” in decolonising living and writing integration
The integration hypothesis and positive mental health outcomes for children and young asylum-seekers in Iceland
Introduction to Crises, (Im)mobilities and Young Life Trajectories
This Special Issue on Crisis, (Im)mobilities and Young Life Trajectories examines the intersections of developmental trajectories and (im)mobility amidst crises, with a focus on ruptures, transitions, disruptions and continuities in the life course of children and young people who have been forced to move due to various man-made and natural crises [...]
Migration Studies and Colonialism
Rhodes Must Fall represented a critical moment in our thinking about the ongoing legacy and living traces of the colonial past in the present. The campaign that started in South Africa in 2015, calling for the removal of colonial statues from public spaces, spread across the world and triggered global awareness about the politics of representation. It also sparked a critical conversation about knowledge production, leading to calls to decolonize …
Race, immigration and health
This paper examines the impact of governmental management of the pandemic on the morbidity and mortality of migrants, gendered and racialized groups by focussing on the relation of its public health message campaign to accommodation, health and survival. The Hostile Environment immigration policies have restricted the ability of these groups to adhere to Government's public health guidelines, increasing risks of their contracting coronavirus. The…
Rethinking transit zones
This article examines the intersections between migrants’ trajectories and digital technologies by analysing the role of mobile digital devices in the everyday lives of migrants in transit. We introduce the novel concept of techno-borderscapes to rethink transit zones as sites of embodied and virtual encounters among various state and non-state actors and to unravel the intersections between digital securitisation, humanitarianism and activism. B…
Forced Unemployment or Undocumented Work
The paper examines asylum seekers’ perceptions of the prohibition to work policy through the lens of burden(s). Drawing from individual interviews with asylum seekers and key informants and group discussions, the findings show the multiple—economic, social, and emotional—burdens that the prohibition to work inflicts on asylum seekers and problematizes the static understanding of burdens to reveal the processes of ‘becoming’ a burden on others. A …
Forced Migration
Forced Migration: Current Issues and Debates provides a critical engagement with and analysis of contemporary issues in the field using inter-disciplinary perspectives, through different geographical case studies and by employing varying methodologies. The combination of authors reviewing both the key research and scholarship and offering insights from their own research ensures a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the current issues in for…
Situated Bystandership” During and After the Rwandan Genocide
The dominant account of the Rwandan genocide and its aftermath focuses on victims and perpetrators, and rescapés and génocidaires. Less is known about bystanders, mainly Hutu non-perpetrators, who are held collectively responsible for having witnessed violence without trying to stop the killers or help the victims. This article challenges the homogenous portrayal of the unresponsive bystander group, and introduces the novel concept of “situated b…

The Cambridge Handbook of Acculturation Psychology
Research and practice in the field of acculturation psychology is continually on the rise. Featuring contributions from over fifty leading experts in the field, this handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. The collection introduces readers to the concepts and issues; examines various acculturating groups (immigrants, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, expatriat…
Refugee Voices,” New Social Media and Politics of Representation
This article examines the role of new social media in the articulation and representation of the refugee and diasporic “voice.” The article problematizes the individualist, de-politicized, de-contextualized, and aestheticized representation of refugee/diasporic voices. It argues that new social media enable refugees and diaspora members to exercise agency in managing the creation, production, and dissemination of their voices and to engage in hyb…
Making Homes in Limbo
This special issue makes an original contribution to our understanding of the meaning of home by introducing the idea of the constellation of HOME-Home-home and homemaking practices where these are not necessarily foreseen, in contexts of displacement. In this article, I argue that we need to distinguish between humanitarian-driven understandings of “protracted refugee situations” and peoplecentred experiences of “prolonged conditions of displace…
The 'Peaks and Troughs' of Societal Violence
This article examines an instance of contained violence during the 2011 riots in London, when Turkish and Kurdish 'shopkeepers' in Dalston, East London prevented rioters from entering the area. Introducing a 'peaks' and 'troughs' approach to the sociological study of violence, the article argues that we need to look at the troughs of non-violence in order to understand the peaks of violence and vice-versa. Based on a small-scale empirical study, …
Child and Youth Migration
This edited collection captures the intersection between migration, mobility and childhood studies. Contributors explore under-researched child and youth short-term and micro movements within major mi
Interconnected modernities, ethnic relations and violence
The pacifist stance of western modernity that shaped the development of sociology and ethnic studies marginalises sociopolitical violence or construes it as an exceptional phenomenon of contemporary social life. The examination of the formation of Rwandan modernity and its recent history of genocidal violence highlights the connections that exist between peace and violence historically, contextually and situationally. In this article the author a…
Politics of Innocence
Politics of Innocence examines historical narratives and everyday politics in a camp for Burundian Hutu refugees in Tanzania. Turner analyses the discrepancy between aid agencies’ assistance model, which casts refugees as innocent victims with no political agency, and refugees’ efforts to maintain their own political subjectivity. It is a detailed ethnographic account of camp life based on primary research conducted in 1997–1998, with a postscrip…
Divergent Discourses, Children and Forced Migration
Experiences of refugee, internally displaced and migrant children in different contexts (such as post-conflict and resettlement) are often considered separately, yet closer analysis points to the existence of commonalities across transnational locations and a need to articulate the ways in which global systems, state policies and migration processes impact on the lives of these children. Current discourses, policies and practices towards forced-m…

Refugee Research Methodologies
It may seem paradoxical that a Special Issue on Refugee Research Methodologies is being published at a time when the very category ‘refugee’ is sidelined in favour of other publicized terms such as asylum seeker, irregular migrant or undocumented migrant, or is subsumed under emerging academic taxonomies such as the asylum–migration nexus (Castles and Loughna 2005). Conceptual clarification is a prerequisite for any methodological approach adopte…
The Microphysics of Participation in Refugee Research
This paper examines the involvement of refugees in the production and reproduction of knowledge of which they are ultimately meant to be beneficiaries. By using examples from research with Central American refugees and Rwandan displaced children, it considers forced migrants' roles as participants in research, their position in 'participatory' research, and the representation of refugees' voices in refugee-centred research. Power is intimately co…
Back Home? Refugees' Experiences of their First Visit back to their Country of Origin
This paper argues that the first visit ‘back home’ is important for refugees because it acts as a catalyst for renewed engagements with host country and country of origin. The study shows that conditions in both countries impact on decision-making and ultimately that integration and return can coexist. The first re-connection with ‘home’ is described as a memorable event in and of itself. Marked by an awareness of the passing of time, it provides…

Acculturation Attitudes and Acculturative Stress of Central American Refugees
Research on acculturation has revealed a variable relationship between acculturation and mental health, which is due to the presence of a number of moderating factors. Some of these factors, namely, modes of acculturation, acculturative experience with the host society, contact with the culture of origin, and individualistic values have been examined in order to understand better the relationship of these factors with acculturative stress. In the…

Psychosocial interventions and children's rights
There has been a significant increase in psychosocial interventions in the aftermath of ethno-political violence. Rwanda after genocide received sustained psychological attention and this paper critically examines the contribution of psychosocial interventions to the broader development agenda of reconstruction and rehabilitation.
