Unpacking water governance dynamics and its implications for household water security in post-disaster resettlement communities in the Philippines
Water security is important globally for sustaining households, communities, and the environment. However, most studies have focused on water availability and accessibility, whereas research examining the role of power and politics in shaping water insecurity remains marginal. This study contributes to this research gap by unpacking the overlapping drivers and politics in water governance dynamics that co-produce the water insecurity of Typhoon H…

Uneven recovery: A case study of factors affecting remittance-receiving in Tacloban, Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan
Over the last 15 years, a growing literature has suggested that remittances are important for post-disaster recovery in many developing countries. Yet, limited research has explored the complex relationships between remittance senders and receivers during and after disasters. The focus is on remittance-receiving households in Tacloban City in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan. This study identifies five main factors that affect the ability of …
Masks are for sissies: The story of LGBTQI+ asylum seekers in Brazil during Covid-19
Queer migration and counter-movement literature are established subsets of social science scholarship that, together, could illuminate debates around queer rights activism in a migration context. Yet, the intersection of these two sets of scholarship is largely underexplored. Recognizing this gap, a valuable case study can be found in Brazil, which is home to both the only LGBTQI+ refugee centre in Latin America, Casa Miga, and a growing anti-gay…

Pursuing the capabilities approach within the migration-development nexus
The ‘migration–development nexus’ has become an established development mantra with debate surrounding the ability of migration to promote economic growth and reduce poverty. The optimism of this debate is paired with a push to control migration through the promotion of temporary migration programmes and initiatives considered to support the regular movement of migrants. This dominant paradigm has come under criticism, however, for overlooking th…
