Roma Community Strategies to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence
This article examines community-driven strategies developed within the Roma population to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, highlighting mechanisms that support women’s safety while respecting Roma identity and cultural frameworks. Adopting a qualitative design grounded in Communicative Methodology (CM) and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), we analyzed N = 28 participants, comprising 6 semi-structured interviews with prof…
A Practical Approach to Developing and Using Online Games for Transdisciplinary Research into Complex Social-Ecological Systems
Asserting the visibility of social work in science
Scientific evidence has shown that Social Work has frequently been considered a second-level discipline in the traditional sexist hierarchy, because pioneers and most social workers are women. The twofold objective of this article is to analyze the dynamics that overcome this consideration and to put forward actions to go further in the near future. The factors that limit these actions and those that make them possible are studied. This article e…
Roma in the Covid-19 Crisis
Research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Roma community consistently demonstrates that it has exacerbated pre-existing social exclusion and marginalization. However, few studies have specifically addressed the transformative actions or strategies that helped to mitigate these adverse effects. This study aimed to identify and analyze transformative elements through a systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines. The search was cond…
Intergovernmental discontent in rural areas
Left-behind places have gained attention during the last years and among those, particular attention has been paid to rural areas, where discontent finds anchor in an articulated narrative of distinctiveness that separates rural and urban, and on which populist parties would have tapped. Thus, rural discontent can be considered a specific expression of disaffection of left-behind places, shaped and characterised by the processes and narratives th…
Las percepciones de la exclusión social en el medio rural durante la Gran Recesión una historia de marcos neoliberales, patriarcales e idilio rural
En este artículo se exploran las percepciones de alcaldes rurales sobre los procesos de exclusión social en sus territorios y los marcos ideológicos que las sostienen. La evidencia empírica de nuestro estudio, contextualizado en España durante la crisis de 2008-2014, procede de entrevistas cualitativas en dos proyectos de investigación sobre exclusión social en áreas rurales de Castilla-La Mancha y la Comunidad Valenciana. Nuestro análisis muestr…
Addressing Water Poverty Under Climate Crisis
Access to safe, clean and affordable water is a basic human right and a global goal towards which climate change poses new challenges that heavily impact the health and wellbeing of people across the globe and exacerbate or create new inequalities. These challenges are shaped by a number of geographical and social conditions that, apart from the risks of weather-driven impacts on water, include water governance and management arrangements in plac…
Mental Health and Access to Information in Times of Covid-19
The confinements and limited social interactions that have derived from COVID-19 have aggravated the situation of people with previous pathologies. As a result, access to health and its rehabilitation or support resources has been limited and redirected toward online care. People with mental health problems have considerably suffered during the pandemic because, for many of them, accessing different information resources through telematic means p…
Development and Validation of a Mobile Application as an Adjuvant Treatment for People Diagnosed with Long Covid-19
Although research and care for these patients are still in their initial stages, it is necessary to equip patients and health care practitioners with tools to assist in their recovery. Furthermore, enhanced motivation can be achieved through telerehabilitation (TR)
For me, it was a liberation, like being free again.’ A qualitative approach to the care trajectories of divorced mothers in Spain
This article deals with the causes and consequences of divorce in a group of women with minor children in Spain, a country in Southern Europe that presents a pre-eminently familistic character based on a marked division of gender roles. We detected an imbalance between qualitative and quantitative studies on this topic, of which the latter are more numerous in the recently published literature. For this reason, here we wish to show the people beh…
Social Impact Indicators in the Context of the Roma Community
Researching with methodologies focused on social impact in line with the SDGs is one of the priority orientations of the Horizon Europe program, as shown in the official European Commission document on impacts for this program. In this sense, researchers must forecast how their project will improve citizens' lives. Until now, many investigations showed the evaluation of the social impact through knowledge transfer activities that, although undoub…
From Brexit to VOX
The spread of radical‐right populist movements across Europe in recent years have been explained from a geographical perspective by a differentiated political behavior in rural areas, rooted in socio‐economic differences and a theory of a “revenge of the places that do not matter”. The objective of the article is to contribute to the characterization of the current populist narratives on rurality and potential new rural‐urban cleavages. Using the…
Social Innovation for Sustainability Transformation and its Diverging Development Paths in Marginalised Rural Areas
Social innovation is perceived as a collaborative response from civic society actors to societal challenges and as such is increasingly being recognised as a driver for sustainable development. Social innovation promotes civic values, particularly in marginalised rural areas that are often struggling with biophysical and market limits, as well as shortages of public funding. In order to identify diverging development paths (DDPs) for social innov…
Redes de apoyo al emprendimiento femenino en territorios rurales
Las condiciones del mercado de trabajo en las áreas rurales han convertido el autoempleo en una de las opciones recurrentes entre las mujeres que tratan de iniciar una actividad o consolidar su económica. Mediante técnicas cualitativas y a partir de un caso de estudio en un área LEADER española (Sierra del Segura, Albacete), este trabajo investiga las redes locales de apoyo al autoempleo femenino en zonas rurales, así como el impacto de la crisis…
La Territorialización de las Políticas de Inclusión Social desde el punto de Vista de los Espacios Rurales Españoles
En el artículo examinamos cómo se materializa la atención al medio rural en los planes de inclusión social españoles. Analizamos el marco estatal y autonómico cla- establecemos si existe relación entre el carácter territorial de cada CCAA y el tipo de acciones inclusivas planteadas para los espacios rurales, y cuáles son los temas abordados. Los resultados evidencian que, al contrario de lo que cabría esperar, las CC.AA. predominantemente rurales…
Social work and the Roma community
Although the Roma community is the largest ethnic minority in Europe, it continues to experience inequality and exclusion in all social areas. In social work, the literature identifies limitations in providing effective responses to the problems faced by this community. The identification and analysis of practices that have demonstrated a positive impact in overcoming the inequalities of the Roma community become crucial for improving the design …

Understanding social innovation for the well-being of forest-dependent communities
Interactive groups for immigrant students
Student’s learning is the result of a large number of interactions in all areas. Consequently, with an increasing number of intercultural students, we need to bring to the classrooms successful educational actions that enhance interactions and that have an impact on improving education. Based on the CONEXITO project, this article shows how interactive groups (IGs) have contributed to increase not only the educational success of native students bu…
