The complexities of implementing an LGBT inclusion scheme in residential care: Sharing Knowledge, Overcoming Opposition and Producing in- And Exclusion
A growing number of organisations in residential care for older people are working towards safe and inclusive environments for LGBT residents. In the Netherlands, these efforts are supported by an LGBT inclusion scheme called ‘Pink Passkey’. Drawing on critical organisational diversity studies, the paper understands inclusion as ‘accomplished’ in interactions across difference, and as always inherently partial ( i.e. exclusion-producing). Qualita…
Experiences of older LGBT people ageing in place with care and support: A window on ordinary ageing environments, home-making practices and meeting activities
In the (near) future, a growing number of older LGBT people will ‘age in place’, receiving health and social care in their homes and wider ageing environments until a very advanced age. This article discusses the results of a survey research among 115 LGBT people aged 65 years and over who are ageing in place and who are weekly and monthly receivers of health and social care services, and follow-up interviews with 10 people. The research was situ…

Older People's Self–Selected Spaces of Encounter in Urban Aging Environments in the Netherlands
Using a narrative methodology involving 216 older people in six urban aging environments in the Netherlands, we examined how they use and experience (semi–)public spaces as spaces of encounter, and the meanings they derive from using and experiencing these spaces. The research shows that, first, older people prefer commercial spaces like shopping malls to planned and designed activity spaces in care homes or neighborhood centers. Second, older pe…
Recognising the Skills and Competencies of Non-EU Foreign Nationals: A Case Study of the Healthcare Sector in the Netherlands
This article examines the institutional arrangements, practices and outcomes related to the recognition of skills, knowledge and competencies (SKC) of non-EU foreign nationals in the Netherlands (commonly referred to as Third Country Nationals (TCNs)) with specific reference to the Dutch healthcare sector. Although the national infrastructure for foreign recognition of educational and professional qualifications is well-developed by international…
Communal Performativity—A Seed for Change? The Solidarity of Thessaloniki's Social Movements in the Diverse Fights Against Neoliberalism
The debate on the financial crisis is at an impasse. Neoliberal austerity discourse is often positioned as an almost insurmountable barrier, its disciplinary power affecting even the most change‐oriented citizen‐initiatives existing today. Countering this, this paper highlights the transformative capacity of social movements in Thessaloniki. Drawing from Butler, Laclau and Mouffe, and Gibson‐Graham we develop the notion of “communal performativit…
Scaling Segregation; Racialising Fear
This chapter argues that borders as spatial manifestations of ambivalent migration policy express an ensemble or assemblage of fear and are strategically selective to sift and sort the feared and the fearful. Issues of immigration and minority integration have topped political agendas and media headlines in all of the member states of the European Union in recent years. Restrictive measures against immigration and asylum have become deeply politi…
Encounters in place ballet: A Phenomenological Perspective on Older People's Walking Routines in an Urban Park
The phenomenological tradition within human geography continues to inspire research on everyday city life. This paper draws on David Seamon's notion of place ballet to understand the meaning of encounters between older people visiting an urban park in the city of Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The paper uses participant observation, including a serial interviewing strategy in which older people are accompanied on their walks through the park, to exp…

Multiple Worlds in a Single Street: Ethnic Entrepreneurship and the Construction of a Global Sense of Place
Doreen Massey's rethinking of space and place has made a significant contribution to the understanding of place development. In this paper, a reading of Massey's work is applied to the issue of place-making; in particular, to the question of how to improve the social and economic position of an ethnically diverse neighbourhood. The case study is of the Willemsweg, a multiethnic shopping street in Nijmegen, Netherlands, which has recently received…
International Employment Agencies and Migrant Flexiwork in an Enlarged European Union
In the literature on migrant networks, the constitutive role of employers and recruiting actors remains underexposed, despite a persistent economic demand for migrant labour which is cheap, readily available and easily dismissed. Aiming to further understand how the recruitment of migrant labour by employers is organised, this paper focuses on the example of international employment agencies (IEAs). It is argued that these agencies are currently …

Problematising the ‘Orderly’ Aesthetic Assumptions of Forecasts of East–West Migration in the European Union
This paper critically examines migration forecasts: numerical guesstimates of future patterns of migration flows. In the enlarging European Union, migration forecasts are often carried out upon requests from mass-migration-fearing policy makers. Most forecasts are based on key principles and working practices adhered to in neoclassical economics and spatial science—notably, equilibrium and place. Offering apparent numerical certainty, migration f…
The European Union as a Gated Community: The Two‐faced Border and Immigration Regime of the EU
Within the European Union, an internal liberalisation of cross‐border labour mobility for EU citizens is currently being combined with the tightening of control and management efforts at the external borders. At the same time, attempts are being made to strategically select immigrants from new member states as well as from outside the EU who will be of economic value. In this paper we argue that by implementing such protectionist and selective im…
Mobility across Borders: Contextualizing Local Strategies to Circumvent Visa and Work Permit Requirements
This article focuses on the structuring capacities of mobility strategies that are oriented towards, and seek to challenge, institutional borders. Positioned within the debate on the role of context in the 'new' economic geographies, and tempted to adopt elements of the Marxist-inspired strategic-relational approach to the geographical study of institutions, it emphasizes the creative entrepreneurial ability of mobile and immobile actors to influ…
Help! The Poles Are Coming’: Narrating a contemporary moral panic
In the years and months prior to the May 2004 enlargement of the European Union, transitional periods of two to possibly seven years were imposed upon free movement of labour for immigrant workers from new (Eastern European) member states by a majority of ‘old’ member states. This article aims to scrutinize fear of mass migration from new member states by examining where (ir)rationality and political opportunism meet in the perception of this par…
Bordering labor migration from New EU member states: Socio‐Spatial exclusion and the ‘orderly’ geometrics of migration forecasts
The enlargement process of the European Union has resulted in a numerous series of migration forecasts, carried out from the late 1990s through the actual accession of ten new member states in May 2004. In the years and months prior to enlargement, national governments in most “old” member states, driven by fears of mass inflows of workers from new member states, consecutively decided to restrict east‐west migration for a period of at least two y…
