  • “I am making good money, but …”: The precarious situation of Polish nurses in Norway

    Open AccessElżbieta M Goździak, I MainARTICLEInternational Migration2021

    Precarity is defined as precarious existence, lacking in predictability, job security, material or psychological welfare. In migration studies, precarity is often associated with low wages, “illegality” and “deportability.” Based on field research, this article focuses on Polish nurses working in Norway. As health professionals and citizens of the European Union, they do not possess the stereotypical characteristics of precarious workers. They ar…

  • Europe and the Refugee Response: A Crisis of Values

    Open AccessElżbieta M Goździak, I Main et al.BOOKEurope and the Refugee Response2020

    This book explores how the rising numbers of refugees entering Europe from 2015 onwards played into fears of cultural, religious, and ethnic differences across the continent. The migrant, or refugee crisis, prompted fierce debate about European norms and values, with some commentators questioning whether mostly Muslim refugees would be able to adhere to these values, and be able to integrate into a predominantly Christian European society. In thi…

  • Contesting Flexible Solidarity: Poland and the “Migration Crisis”

    Open AccessElżbieta M Goździak, I MainARTICLEFrontiers in Human Dynamics2020Cited by: 1References: 16

    New forms of solidarity are being shaped as a response to the European “refugee crisis.” The states have not been able to implement any viable or sustainable solution to the crisis, but the solidarity movement has been very visible and active in many European countries and rejected in others. This paper focuses on Poland, a country that gave birth to the Solidarność labor movement in 1980, but was recently reprimanded by the European Union for it…

  • Multiple belongings: Transnational mobility, social class, and gendered identities among Polish migrants in Norway

    M Pawlak, Elżbieta M GoździakARTICLESocial Identities2020Cited by: 8References: 47

    Using ethnographic research in Norway and in Poland, this article focuses on the dynamics of multiple belongings of Polish migrants. It explores their experiences of belonging in relation to social class, gendered identities, and their different strategies of transnational mobility between Poland and Norway. By approaching belonging ‘from below’, we posit that it is a dynamic, processual, and socially and culturally constructed attachment to plac…

    Elżbieta M GoździakBOOKTrafficked Children and Youth in…2019

    Trafficked children are portrayed by the media—and even by child welfare specialists—as hapless victims who are forced to migrate from a poor country to the United States, where they serve as sex slaves. But as Elzbieta M. Gozdziak reveals in Trafficked Children in the United States , the picture is far more complex. Basing her observations on research with 140 children, most of them girls, from countries all over the globe, Gozdziak debunks many…

  • Looking Ahead: Contested Childhoods and Migrancy

    At the beginning of this book, we explained how our interest in globalization ’s changing ideas and practices of childhood led us to propose ‘contested childhoods’ and ‘growing up in migrancy’ as twin conceptual tools. The purpose was to understand the migration , governance, and identity processes currently involving children and ideas of childhood. In this final chapter, we return to this conceptual pair and reflect on some of the theoretical a…
