‘Will you take care of me?’ Bio-space, racial assemblages and the US Youth Refugee Resettlement welfare system
Routté’s paper presents an ethnographic case study of an unaccompanied refugee minor from Nigeria throughout his first year in the care of the United States Office of Refugee Resettlement. In tracing various interactions with ‘care’-based institutions and practitioners, the paper questions how US social welfare systems insist on specific ways of placing certain bodies and what that placing means to personhood. Attention is paid in particular to t…
Advancing Psychodynamic-Based Clinical Social Work Practice to Address Structural Trauma
Psychodynamic-based practice (PBP), including approaches informed by attachment theory, is a widely used therapeutic modality in clinical social work for addressing trauma. Yet, in some clinical spaces, PBP has faced challenges due to its process-oriented nature, particularly in an era that increasingly favors manualized, short-term interventions. Meanwhile, sociocultural neuroscience has emerged as a field providing evidence for trauma intervent…
Organisational legitimacy and refugee-led community organisations
Organisational forms are defined by the cultural and the scientific – a dual dimensionality of organisational legitimacy. This study examines organisational legitimacy of refugee-led community organisations (RCOs), as they form or emerge out of refugee camps and places of displacement and then transition to fit into taken-for-granted cultural-scientific organisational models in places of resettlement. Analyses draw from participant observation, i…
Distributive Politics of U.S. Refugee Resettlement
Participatory Action Research in Times of Coronavirus Disease 2019
Adapting to online modalities drew on four priorities: ease of access, time sensitivity, capacity building, and co-production of data. Methodological insights may be applicable to participatory action research with RI-CBOs and other CBOs in the face of challenges similar to those prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic
Refugee-Led Organizations' Crisis Response during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Scholarship on disaster response and recovery has focused on local communities as crucial in developing and implementing timely, effective, and sustainable supports. Drawing from interviews with refugee leaders conducted during the spring and summer of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examines crisis response activities of refugee-led grassroots groups, specifically within Bhutanese and Congolese refugee communities in a mid…
