  • The moral economy in the recruitment and training of mobile caregivers in a Swiss border region

    Open AccessEmmanuel Charmillot, J DahindenARTICLEMigration Studies2026

    In the context of demographic aging often described as producing a “care crisis,” this article explores the moral economy shaping the recruitment and training of mobile caregivers in the long-term care sector. Building on a qualitative-interpretative methodology, the study focuses on the French-speaking Jura Arc region in Switzerland—a context marked by staff shortages and strong competition to attract care workers. By analyzing interviews with e…

  • Places and mobilities

    Slape, LAPE SLAPE et al.ARTICLEMobilities2023Cited by: 8References: 69

    This interdisciplinary special issue brings mobility scholars and migration scholars together to examine how places and mobilities are entangled.

  • (Im)moral Mobilities in a Swiss Borderland

    Open AccessEmmanuel CharmillotARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies2021Cited by: 4References: 20

    Based on an ethnographic case study in a Swiss valley on the border with France, this paper sheds light on the emergence of a regime of (im)moral mobilities. It investigates how and why the presence of a specific border in a peripheralized region – in this case a national border separating spheres of income inequality – informs and results in dynamics of morally contested mobilities. The analysis shows how some cross-border mobilities, while bein…
