Navigating (im)mobility in an urban space: Migrant’s lived experience in Kyiv/Ukraine before 2022
Before the full-scale war, Ukraine was one of the key origin countries for migrants seeking to move to the European Union. While considerable research has covered international migration, the understanding of how internal and international migration in Ukraine are interconnected is under-researched.

Polish Catholic environmentalism as the counterculture movement
The increasing participation of faith leaders in environmental debates has led to the renewed interest in the ‘greening of religions’. This paper examines the frames employed by religious actors to encourage environmental action, with a focus on the eco-movement within the Roman Catholic Church in Poland. Its narratives are connected to the goals of promoting ‘ecological conversion’ and encouraging change at the community level. We demonstrate ho…
From extraction to contamination: Illegal refineries, polluted waters and environmental activism in Iraqi Kurdistan
This research explores the interplay between extractivism, river pollution, and the proliferation of illegal oil refineries in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Positioned within the framework of the Capitalocene, the study highlights how systemic socio-ecological harm is not merely a by-product of economic activity but a fundamental component of the capitalist systems encouraged locally by power constellations and social dialectics. The paper examin…

We want to have a positive impact: Fragile ecologies and the Iraqi Kurds' dutiful environmentalism
In this article, we investigate the emergence of modern environmentalism in the Kurdistan Region (Iraq), a de facto state in which ecological well-being is under serious strain. Social mobilizations in the Middle East have been depicted as confrontational and opposing the authorities. Studies of environmental activism in the region have also highlighted conflictual relations between social actors and the holders of power. In this article, we stre…

Dynamicznie rozwijający się ruch na rzecz sprawiedliwości środowiskowej włącza niektóre wątki i postulaty dewzrostu do debat wokół pojęcia rozwoju i szukania alternatyw dla dominujących modeli ekonomicznych.

The paradigm shift in the heritage-development agenda is exam…
