Broadening the Urban Planning Repertoire with an ‘Arrival Infrastructures’ Perspective
In this article we propose an arrival infrastructure’s perspective in order to move beyond imaginaries of neighbourhoods as a ‘port of first entry’ that are deeply ingrained in urban planning discussions on migrants’ arrival situations. A focus on the socio-material infrastructures that shape an arrival situation highlights how such situations are located within, but equally transcend, the territories of neighbourhoods and other localities. Unpac…
Arrival Infrastructures
The possible role and position of social work as part of the arrival infrastructure
In order to de-nationalise, de-‘ethnicise’ and de-‘migranticise’ migration studies, scholars are increasingly turning to space as a conceptual and empirical entry-point. Inspired upon the notion of the urban ‘transition zone’, initially coined by Chicago School urban sociologists in the 1930s, recent research re-focuses on the role of particular urban neighbourhoods as places of ‘arrival’ and ‘gateways’ that stimulate the social and spatial mobil…
Leaving an Institution in Flanders (Belgium)
People living in an institution will leave this residential context one day and have to proceed to a stable independent way of living. This transition is not without difficulties as it turns out this socially vulnerable group runs an increased risk of becoming homeless. Research in Flanders (Belgium) has shown that a considerable share of the homeless population has previously stayed in an institutional setting, mostly in youth care (48.7%), psyc…

Staying Put! A Housing Pathway Analysis of Residential Stability in Belgium
Governments all over the world try to influence in one way or another the residential mobility of their citizens. This article takes the vantage point of why Belgians do not want to change residence a lot and how they actually succeed in doing this. We claim that the framework of a housing pathways approach helps to get to grips with the historically built-up archive of normalizing discourses and practices related to housing and diverse other dom…
Geographies of Whiteness and Wealth
While policy makers in different parts of the world are worried about the supposedly negative consequences of spatial concentrations of ethnic minorities and/or disadvantaged people, researchers continue the debate about the desirability and feasibility of social mix. In this article, we add to this literature by focusing on the often neglected, but crucial practices and discourses of the privileged in urban and suburban neighborhoods. Drawing on…
Welfare through migrant work
The Romanian work migration system came as an answer to the increased individual welfare risks caused by a particular form of Romanian neoliberalism. The system acts as a transnational labour market built up from the grassroots. Through its maturing, this migration system has acted as a ‘safety valve’ in Romania: neoliberal principles could be built into the Romanian welfare system. As such, migrant work abroad became a structural aspect of the R…
How to 'catch' floating populations? Research and the fixing of migration in space and time
The recent 'mobilities turn' in the social sciences suggests that research always fixes mobility somehow in time and space, in order to understand it. Migration, being a form of mobility, has to be fixed on certain times and spaces in order to make it possible to define and research it. Being a\ngeographer, I build on this insight in the first part of the article to re-read the critiques on post-war methodological nationalism. Reflecting on my ow…

Is there a world beyond the Web of Science? Publication practices outside the heartland of academic geography
Because research on the publication practices of academic geographers has been limited to the quantification of journal articles cited in easily searchable databases such as Thomson Reuters' Web of Science or Elsevier's Scopus, the question remains whether journals that are not indexed by these databases flourish or perish under the increasing pressure to publish in outlets with the highest impact factors. To answer this question, we have compile…
