A Total Black Hole”
State responses to COVID-19 were unevenly felt across society. Negative consequences of lockdowns and travel restrictions for the upper classes were largely restricted to not seeing friends or taking holidays. For those with little or no right to have rights (Arendt, 1970), those relegated to society’s margins—such as refugees and asylum claimants—state responses to COVID-19 metamorphosed into Kafkaesque restrictions, surveillance, and control. I…

Covid-19 amongst western democracies
Amir Teicher. Social Mendelism
Using a dossier approach that includes textbooks, films, plays, court decisions, governmental letters, and other public correspondence as its main data sources, Amir Teicher's Social Mendelism explores how Mendel’s genetic theory influenced racial thinking in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century and how Mendelian representations grounded the application of eugenics policies. Johann Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian monk, investigated tr…
Welfare States and Covid-19 Responses
This study uses a welfare state lens to examine disparities in Covid-19 infections and mortality rates between countries in Eastern Europe compared to West European democracies. Expanding on Esping-Andersen’s typology of welfare regimes, the authors compare six country groups to conduct a multivariate statistical analysis that, when controlling for economic and health differences, shows the number of cases and deaths per 100,000 to be significant…

Social workers’ perspectives on social justice in social work education
This paper presents findings from an exploratory study with Master of Social Work (MSW) graduates in Canada to explore the extent to which their classroom and practicum learning addressed social justice and anti-oppressive practice. Thirty-five MSW graduates took part in a semi-structured online survey regarding the quality of social justice knowledge and practice skills in their field instruction and coursework. The survey also examined how grad…
The ‘East/West’ divide and Europe’s relocation system for asylum seekers
Smoke and Mirrors
The purpose of this paper is to critically explore the meaning making theoretical perspectives underlying the creation and development of a public mentoring program, allegedly designed as an inclusionary strategy for facilitating newcomers' labour market integration. Building upon findings outlined in the program's latest Evaluation Report (Bejan 2011) and drawing upon participant-observation as an inductive field-based research strategy, this pa…
