Gendered refugee bodies
This article analyzes how gendered and queer refugee bodies navigate the intertwined dynamics of mobility, immobility, and survival in Turkey and Lebanon. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork with Syrian women and LGBTQI individuals, it shows how patriarchal, heteronormative, and increasingly hostile asylum environments shape refugees’ everyday movements, risk perceptions, and prospects for onward migration. Combining the new mobilities paradigm with…
Social Class and Forced Migrants’ Secondary/Onward Mobility Decision-Making
This article aims first to understand how and why refugees decide to leave or stay in their first country of asylum, and second to contribute to the theory of agentic analyses of migration. Our contribution adds to the growing body of research examining the impact of social class and associated capitals on the trajectories of forced migrants. Our analysis of the experiences of Syrians in Turkey and Lebanon demonstrates that social class is a crit…
Climate-Related Youth Mobility in Ethiopia
Focusing on how environmental stressors intersect with socioeconomic vulnerabilities to shape migratory patterns, this study examines the relationship between climate change and youth (im)mobility in Ethiopia. It examines how climate shocks—including droughts, unpredictable rainfall, and land degradation—heighten household insecurity and shape young people’s migration decisions. Using mixed-methods data, including surveys and interviews conducted…
Forced migrants’ agency in first countries of asylum
This article examines forced migrants’ decision-making over time on movement from first country of asylum. Building on 150 in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees (A note on terminology: the term refugee is used colloquially by our participants, other scholars, the legal profession, and international actors to denote most Syrian migrants, yet it often means different things to its users. While many of our participants may be refugees, it is beyo…
Environmental Politics in North and East Syria/Rojava
This article presents a scoping and conceptual literature review on environmental politics in North and East Syria/Rojava. The review aims to synthesize existing academic research in English on the interplay between armed conflict and environmental change in the region, focusing on the Kurdish‐led socio‐political model known as the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). The study is guided by two main questions: the knowledge …
Refugee agency in secondary mobility decision-making
Decisions made by millions of refugees about where to go, how to make a living and how to secure a future are fundamental drivers of secondary movements. While a substantial body of literature addresses factors contributing to migrants’ decision-making, a comprehensive understanding of the central role of refugees in secondary mobility decision-making, including agency and strategies employed, remains underexplored. This is partly due to the beli…

Rebuilding Communities after Displacement
Crisis
On a daily basis, we are alarmed by crisis reports concerning hurricanes and floods, economic and financial uncertainties, political instability, armed conflict, desperate refugees and migrants, and outbreaks of aggressive global diseases. Most recently, the still-unfolding COVID-19 pandemic highlights how many of these perspectives are both discursively and materially woven together. COVID-19 has emerged not only as a public health crisis, but a…
Locating potential sources of capacity and vulnerability in geographically remote areas
The relationship between geographical and social forms of remoteness and the concepts of vulnerability and capacity remains unclear. Recognising that capacities and vulnerabilities tend to co-exist in a population, the article assumes that the dynamics between these concepts are situational. In this article we draw on three cases to analyse the issue. An Arctic case study provides insight on remoteness in terms of latitude, followed by an Andean …
Gendered dimensions of migration in relation to climate change
It is widely accepted that climate change may be contributing to population movement and has gendered effects. The relationship between climate change as a direct cause of migration continues to give rise to debates concerning vulnerabilities, while at the same time gendered dimensions of vulnerabilities remain limited to binary approaches. There is limited cross-fertilization between disciplines that go beyond comparison between males and female…
Covid-19 and All the Things That Kill Us
How can we ethically research “the social” in times of social distancing? This paper considers the effects of a global pandemic on anthropological practice and scholarship. We suggest that, while much can be learned about the human experience during times of strife, we must first reflect on whether our research is beneficial, collaborative, or necessary. These considerations must constitute an ongoing conversation with research collaborators, and…
The case for Interdisciplinary Crisis Studies
In the world we live in today, the presence and claims of crisis abound - from climate change, financial and political crisis to depression, livelihoods and personal security crisis. There is a challenge to studying crisis due to the ways in which crisis as a notion, condition and experience refers to and operates at various societal levels. Further, different kinds of crisis can overlap and intersect with each other, and act as precursors or con…
Climate change perspectives and adaptation strategies of business enterprises
The purpose of the paper is to present empirical evidence on how to develop climate-resilient business enterprises under the auspices of an industrial park management. This was facilitated through the collective mapping of climate adaptation strategies corresponding to the identified business risks exacerbated by climate events directly experienced in the shared territory. The cluster approach attempted to overcome the typical challenges of singl…
