Navigating the challenges of teaching about racism
Like many countries, Ireland has become increasingly ethnically diverse in recent decades, and this diversity is now present among the student social work population. This paper comprises a reflective account of my experience of teaching about race, racism and anti-racism on a postgraduate social work programme in Ireland. The paper examines the challenges involved in such teaching—for both myself and for the students—with particular attention pa…
Building an ethical research culture
Recent scholarship on the need to decolonize refugee research, and migration research more generally, points to the urgency of challenging ongoing colonial power structures inherent in such research. Increased involvement of scholars with lived experience is one way to challenge and remake unequal and colonial power relations. Through discussions with researchers of forced migration, we aimed to explore the challenges, barriers, and supports rela…
Relational and cultural continuity for children in foster care; A critical exploration of national policies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, Ireland and Scotland
Careless hospitality
This article examines policy and provision in relation to family reunification for persons with international protection status in Ireland through the lens of hospitality. The particular focus is on reunification involving children and young people, including former unaccompanied minors. Drawing on interviews and focus groups with sponsors, reunited family members and service providers, the article identifies various policy gaps and deficiencies …
I hope like they talk with us like how they talk with Irish’
Based on findings from qualitative research on the needs of young Syrian refugees resettled in Ireland, this article explores issues around relationships with peers from the receiving community in the context of perceived difference and inequality. Interviews with young people shed light on their hopes, fears and experiences around forming connections as they begin to navigate life in a new country, with further insights provided through intervie…
Problematizing Parenting
This article examines the problematization and regulation of parenting practices within reception centres accommodating Syrian asylum-seeking and refugee parents who had recently arrived in the Republic of Ireland through relocation and resettlement schemes. Based on qualitative research, the article demonstrates how reception-centre staff often assumed a regulatory role over parenting in a number of different ways: by informing and warning; watc…
Reflections on the use of community based participatory research to affect social and political change
Academic research can be criticised for its lack of social impact in the ‘real world’. Study findings are often not well understood nor used effectively to shape policy making and practice. These issues are pertinent for practising social workers who often find it difficult to utilise research knowledge to influence the public realm and engage service users in social change. This paper presents two community based participatory research (CBPR) ca…
Foster care, recognition and transitions to adulthood for unaccompanied asylum seeking young people in England and Ireland
The social care needs of unaccompanied minors
This article examines forms of care which can be used by social workers to best respond to unaccompanied minors (UAMs) given their complex needs and particular vulnerability combined with their agency and resilience. The vulnerabilities and agency/resilience of UAMs are examined in the context of multiple borders (cultural, political and physical) being negotiated by these young people. While it focuses on Ireland as an example of a country where…
Vulnerable childhood, vulnerable adulthood
Ireland’s approach to after-care for ‘aged-out’ separated children is problematic. Currently, upon reaching the age of 18, most separated young people are moved to ‘direct provision’, despite the fact that the state can use discretionary powers to allow them to remain in foster care. Direct provision is the system Ireland adopts providing bed and board to asylum seekers, along with a weekly monetary payment. Separated young people in Ireland are …
HIV transmission as a form of gender-based violence
Gender-based violence and HIV have a particular impact on women in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on qualitative research with women in Ethiopia, this article explores the intersection between these two issues. It examines HIV transmission in the context of both intimate partner violence and wider gender-based violence, focusing on infidelity, multiple sexual partners, rape and sex work. We argue that the participants viewed HIV transmission as a fo…
The negotiation of culture in foster care placements for separated refugee and asylum seeking young people in Ireland and England
Little is known about separated asylum seeking young people in foster care. This article addresses this gap by drawing together findings from qualitative research conducted with separated refugee and asylum seeking young people in two studies - one in England and one in Ireland. Focusing on the role of culture, the authors examine similar findings from the two studies on the significance of culture in young people's experiences of foster care. Cu…
The Causes of Mistrust amongst Asylum Seekers and Refugees
This article explores the concept of mistrust amongst refugee populations by drawing on qualitative interviews with unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors living in the Republic of Ireland. The forced migration literature frequently makes reference to the difficulties that asylum seekers and refugees have in creating trusting relationships. However, little is known about the reasons for these difficulties, particularly reasons articulated by asylum …
Domestic Violence in a Developing Context
The World Health Organization’s multicountry study of the prevalence rates of intimate partner violence found extremely high rates of violence against women in Ethiopia. This article seeks to enhance our understanding of this violence. By drawing on focus group research conducted with women in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, it explores the types of domestic violence experienced by these women, the impact of this violence, the reasons for it, and …
Religion in the Lives of Unaccompanied Minors
Anecdotal evidence suggests that religion plays an important role in the lives of asylum seekers and refugees. However, little research has been conducted in this area. Drawing on the work of Pargament (1997) and on interviews undertaken with unaccompanied minors living in the Republic of Ireland, this article shows how religious coping is both a ‘relatively available’ and a ‘relatively compelling’ way for these young people to deal with the chal…
Active survival in the lives of unaccompanied minors
Asylum‐seeking unaccompanied minors contend with numerous challenges as they adjust to living in a new country. Although increasing attention has been paid to their capacity for resilience, little research has been done on the exact manner in which they cope. This paper describes some of the insights gleaned from a qualitative study undertaken with unaccompanied minors living in Ireland. Six different coping strategies are identified, namely: (1)…
