Young people’s experiences and strategies for improving their awareness and access to mental health and substance use health services
This study revealed key insights about post-pandemic MHSU service awareness and access for young people. Participants demonstrated desires for both autonomy in service selection and guidance from trusted sources, suggesting a supported decision-making model. Recommended service improvements include centralized information resources, stronger informal referral networks, culturally responsive services and flexible delivery options. Partnership with…
Security, digital border technologies, and immigration admissions
Normative debates on migration control, while characterised by profound disagreement, do appear to agree that the state has at least a prima facie right to prevent the entry of security threats. While concern is sometimes raised that this ‘security exception’ can be abused, there has been little focus by normative theorists on concrete practices of security, and how we can determine what a ‘principled’ use of the security exception would be. I ar…
Symposium introduction
This symposium brings into conversation normative political theory on migration and critical border/migration studies, with a particular focus on digital border control technology. Normative theorists have long been concerned with questions about the extent and nature of control over migration that the state should exercise, and the balance of rights and duties between states and migrants. To date, however, there has been little reflection among …
Moving beyond settlement
Normative theorists of migration are beginning to shift their focus away from an earlier obsession with whether the 'liberal' or 'legitimate' state should have a right to exclude, and toward evaluation of how states engage in immigration control. However, with some notable exceptionssuch as work of Rebecca Buxton, David Owen, Serena Parekh, and Alex Sagerthis work tends not to focus on the global coordination of such control, and is still largely…
Gaps in childhood immunizations and preventive care visits during the Covid-19 pandemic
Through the first 18 months of the pandemic, routine vaccines were delivered to children < 2 years old at close to pre-pandemic rates. There was a high proportion of incomplete well-child visits, indicating that developmental surveillance catch-up is crucial
Economic evaluations of vision screening to detect amblyopia and refractive errors in children
Slow Resistance
In this article we seek to expand on the developing interest in Slow Violence and how it relates to immigration and asylum, by exploring how such violence is resisted. Following Foucault’s insight that in order to better understand power, it helps to study resistance to it, we draw on original research into acts of protest by refugees and asylum seekers in Scotland, and connect this to existing research on experiences of and resistance to the UK …

Beyond asylum claims
Protests by refugees and asylum seekers have become of increasing interest to scholars of forced migration, citizenship and political theory in recent years for the critical potential inherent in such acts of protest to reconfigure conceptions of ‘the political’, ‘the citizen’, and refugees as voiceless, a-political victims. This article turns to refugee and asylum seeker protest for a different reason. Rather than focusing on the act of protest,…
International Political Theory and the Refugee Problem
‘The refugee problem’ is a term that it has become almost impossible to escape. Although used by a wide range of actors involved in work related to forced migration, these actors do not often explain what exactly ‘the problem’ is that they are working to solve, leading to an unfortunate conflation of two quite different ‘problems’: the problems that refugees face and the problems that refugees pose. Beginning from the simple, yet too often overlo…
