  • Exploring the Role of Common Pool Resources and (Mal)Coping in Socio-Environmental Dynamics

    Open Access•Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Magdalena Chułek et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Immigrant & Refugee…•2026•References: 60

    This paper explores the intricate dynamics of refugee camps through an interdisciplinary lens, merging qualitative social research with supplementary insights from remote-sensing techniques. Unlike the traditional perception of refugee camps as temporary entities, they are seen as dynamic social and environmental ecosystems where changes in the social and ecological spheres are interconnected and co-evolved. Focusing on the Rohingya refugee camp …

  • (Mal)coping

    Open Access•Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Magdalena Chułek•ARTICLE•Climate and Development•2025

    The dominant triad of coping, adaptation, and maladaptation has long structured how environmental vulnerability and (im)mobility are conceptualised.

  • Hustling themtaaway

    Open Access•Magdalena Chułek•ARTICLE•African Studies Review•2020•Cited by: 6•References: 29

    The inhabitants of slums have developed creative ways of addressing the inherent instability of their lives. Chułek analyzes two approaches to self-organizing work on the basis of data gathered in two slum areas of Nairobi, Kibera and Korogocho, arguing that the key element of slum inhabitants' actions is the reproduction of structures which enable their survival by making their lives predictable. These structures are evident in the work of trash…

  • Mob justice and everyday life

    Magdalena Chułek•ARTICLE•African Studies•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 22

    Based on ethnographic research in two slum areas of Nairobi, Kibera and Korogocho, this article explains the meaning and function of ad hoc acts of lynching called mob justice. The article treats mob justice as a specific type of institution that reflects local rules of life and argues that the analysis of such acts must take into account that they are produced within a broader social framework in which they are practised. Mob justice undergoes r…
