  • Changing (Im)mobility drivers along migration trajectories in Tunisia; the case of internal migrants in the city of Sousse

    Open Access•Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Konrad Pędziwiatr et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2026

    People exposed to similar conditions often make different migration decisions, with only a minority choosing to move while others remain. An important but often overlooked group are those who, after moving internally to urban areas, are unable or unwilling to migrate further abroad. How does everyday urban experience shape their subsequent mobility trajectories? Building on the research carried out between 2020 and 2021 in Sousse, the third-large…

  • 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. Yet this framework fails to capture the long-term consequences of survival strategies that arise in settings of structural neglect. This viewpoint introduces the concept of (mal)coping to describe repetitive, improvised practices that sustain life in the short term while deepening socio-ecological de…

  • Lima is good enough

    Open Access•Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Marcin Stonawski et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2025•References: 22

    The economic, political and social situation in Venezuela has forced millions of its citizens to leave their country (Mazuera-Arias et al., Sociodemographic Profiles and the Causesof Regular Venezuelan Emigration. International Migration, https://doi.org/10.1111/IMIG.12693 (2020)). Over the past eight years, we have witnessed an unprecedented exodus of this nature. In June 2024, there were 7.7 million Venezuelan migrants and refugees worldwide, o…

  • Migration as one of several adaptation strategies for environmental limitations in Tunisia

    Open Access•Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Naima Fekih•ARTICLE•Comparative Migration Studies•2020•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    Water scarcity and management of this problem are increasingly acknowledged in development policies as well as in adaptation and migration discourse. In South Mediterranean countries, insufficient water supplies in oases are the biggest limitation on yields of sufficient quantity and quality and increase in arable land, in short, the development of agriculture. Insufficient income from agriculture, when it is the main source of revenue, can push …
