  • Elgar Encyclopedia of Global Migration

    Laura Oso, Natalia Ribas Mateos et al.•EDITOR•BOOK•Elgar Encyclopedia of Global…•2025

    Necropolis is an artistic activistic project that gives rise to a ghostly cartography. The project emerged upon discovering a database recording the deaths of migrants who tried to enter Europe. This list was produced in the last decades by a network of organisations and activists all around Europe. Necropolis is constructed through the search for and the mapping of the burial grounds of those who lost their lives at the gate of the continent. ּT…

  • Navigating Care in the Assemblage of (im)Mobilities

    Open Access•Laura Oso, Raquel Martínez Buján et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2025•References: 7

    This article analyses the social protection strategies that Latin American transnational families have deployed to cope with the new regime of (im)mobilities that emerged after the COVID‐19 crisis. It reflects on how the pandemic has restructured the articulation of the family welfare model and the migration regime in Spain. From a theoretical point of view, it combines the analysis of family strategies of “transnational social protection” with t…

  • Berracas Caring. The Birth, Life and Death of Transnational Families

    Open Access•Polina Palash, Antonio Souto et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2025•References: 3

    This article focuses on transnational care and social protection arrangements in families scattered across their origin context, Colombia, and their migration contexts in France and Spain. It considers gendered caring practices and their evolution over long time frames, applying a life course and trajectory perspective. The article draws on a multi‐sited ethnography conducted in Marseille, Madrid, A Coruña, Medellin and Bogota, with 31 members, m…

  • Patrimonial care between Cuba and Spain

    Open Access•Alba Vázquez-López, Laura Oso•ARTICLE•Revista Internacional de Sociología•2025

    The innovation of this article lies in its analysis of a dimension of transnational care that has received little attention in the literature: the care of patrimonial assets. The study reveals how this type of care reorganizes the dynamics of (im)mobility in transnational households. The second innovative aspect of the study lies in its analysis of rural-rural migration, as studies on transnational families have generally focused on the analysis …

  • Looking for Daisies

    Open Access•Laura Oso, Leticia Santaballa•ARTICLE•Urban Planning•2024

    In recent decades, shrinking areas in rural Spain have sought the arrival of newcomers. This migration is driven mainly by economic reasons and is not related to regionalizing or redistribution migration policies. The main contribution of this article is to highlight how the articulation between social agents’ (public administrations, third sector, enterprises, migrant communities, and civil society) strategies and infrastructuring practices, wit…

  • Newcomers and ‘Roots Migrants’

    Open Access•Paula Alonso-Pardo, Laura Oso et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of International…•2023

    This article analyses the processes of rural shrinking/revitalisation in Spain from the perspective of chain mobilities. It attempts to go beyond the vision that focuses on the depopulation approach. The chain migration perspective is a dynamic means, as it considers the articulation between internal/international, historical/recent migrations and shrinking/revitalisation processes. Spatial mobility is also analysed in relation to the articulatio…

  • La (in)movilidad a debate

    Open Access•María-Jesús Cabezón-Fernández, Laura Oso•ARTICLE•Migraciones Publicación del…•2022

    En las últimas décadas, el campo de los estudios migratorios, tanto en España como a nivel internacional, había constatado el poder de la movilidad como agente de estratificación social en el contexto global. Sin embargo, la situación de pandemia provocada por la COVID-19, apunta al rol que está cobrando la (in)movilidad como agente de desigualdad en las sociedades de la “nueva normalidad”. En este trabajo, llevamos a cabo una revisión de diez añ…

  • Welfare Paradoxes and Interpersonal Pacts

    Open Access•Laura Oso, Raquel Martínez Buján•ARTICLE•Social Inclusion•2022•References: 9

    This article analyses the relationship between migration, care work, and welfare provision, highlighting the role of Latin American migrants in Spain as providers of formal and informal social protection on a transnational scale. It contributes to the debate on transnational social protection and transnational social inequalities from the perspective of welfare paradoxes and interpersonal pacts. Migrant women in Spain have become a resource for t…

  • Migration Policies, Participation and the Political Construction of Migration in Spain

    Open Access•Laura Oso, Ana López-Sala et al.•ARTICLE•Migraciones Publicación del…•2021

    This article offers a state of the art of research on migration policies, participation and the political construction of immigration in Spain. It starts with an overview of migration policy, addressing the impact of the 2008 economic crisis on the configuration of the political agenda. Secondly, it addresses the political participation of immigrants in Spain and their role as “new” voters. Finally, the appearance of the extreme right political p…

  • Recent trends in intra-EU mobilities

    Angela Bermúdez, Laura Oso•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2020•Cited by: 10•References: 12

    Recent intra-European mobilities can be analysed from the perspective of transformations in the European migration system, especially following the 2008 Great Recession, which requires moving beyond portrayals of such flows as problem-free mobilities resembling "liquid migration". These include renewed "(semi)periphery-core" movements involving both natives and naturalized migrants that interlink with other migration systems reaching beyond Europ…

    The impact of the recent global financial and economic crisis on migration to Spain has generated literature focusing mainly on demographic and labour impacts. Internationally, economic crises have also been linked to the increased vulnerability of migrants and return migration. However, this article reveals a more complex picture of how the crisis is producing new (im)mobilities between Latin America and Europe. It adopts a transnational family …

    La migración gallega constituyó el grupo etnicorregional más numeroso de la inmigración de ultramar a Argentina, hasta tal punto que Buenos Aires fue considerada «capital de la quinta provincia gallega».

    The aim of this article is to study the transnational social mobility strategies, focusing on the interaction between reproductive and productive strategies, of Latin American migrant households in Spain.

  • Quality of Work in Prostitution and Sex Work. Introduction to the Special Section

    Open Access•Stef Adriaenssen, Giulia Garofalo Geymonat et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2016•Cited by: 5•References: 31

    Increasingly, prostitution and other activities in the sex industries have been conceptualised as forms of labour, or at least as income-generating activities. As labour, these activities are exposed to particular risks with respect to health, working conditions, exploitation and stigmatisation. However, research on the actual conditions and circumstances existing in these markets, remains limited. The present article introduces some of the main …

  • Transnational Social Mobility Strategies and Quality of Work among Latin-American Women Sex Workers in Spain

    Open Access•Laura Oso•ARTICLE•Sociological Research Online•2016•Cited by: 4•References: 12

    The aim of this article is to analyse the quality of work of two of the main types of female sex work in Spain (clubs and in-call flats). In order to do so I will focus on the following working dimensions: wages, power relations, skills, alienation, health, violence, work life and stigma. Firstly, the article seeks to highlight the structural factors that condition the quality of work of Latin American female sex workers in Spain. These factors a…

  • ‘Racism’, intersectionality and migration studies

    The concept of ‘racism’ has faced many difficulties in migration studies. Depending on definitions, islamophobia is a form either of religious discrimination or of racism. The same is true in contemporary debates in Europe about xenophobia against immigrants from the Global South. This article provides an alternative way of thinking about racism and its relationship with questions of intersectionality and discusses the relationship of these issue…
