Refugees, political bounding and the pandemic: Material effects and experiences of categorisations amongst refugees in Scotland
From Crossref journal articles via Jisc Publications Router ; Scholars are increasingly interested in and concerned with both the way various migrant populations are categorised, and the lived impacts of that categorisation. In this article, we examine how categorisation was experienced by people at various stages of the refugee journey during the biggest public health crisis for generations. We argue, using original interview data, that the way refugees are categorised, or politically bound, has material impacts on the way they experience their lives, and that this was evident in extremis during the Covid-19 lockdown in Scotland. As populations attempted to traverse public health messaging, this is shown to interact with longstanding state proclivities to control, marginalise and stratify. Consequently, how people experienced and managed the request to 'stay home and save lives' varied markedly by where they were in their refugee journey and how they arrived in the UK. ; Funder: Chief Scientist Office, Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorate; FundRef: 10.13039/100011529; Grant(s): COV/GLA/20/12, COV/QMU/20/02 ; aheadofprint ; aheadofprint

Migrant Solidarity Work in Times of 'Crisis': Glasgow and the Politics of Place

Migrant solidarity work in times of 'crisis': Glasgow and the politics of place
Since 2015, new forms of migrant solidarity work emerged in Glasgow, spurred in part by refugee flows into Europe. Yet, for many organisations, much of their work has not changed since 2000, when the government began dispersing asylum seekers around the UK. Using histories and memories of place as an analytical lens, we examine solidarity work since the 2015 'crisis' as well as over the longer term. In our analysis, the 'crisis' is not a critical juncture but understood within a broader spatio-temporal context. This raises interesting questions regarding how history and memory are animated in the present, and when and what kinds of solidarity work emerge. In conversation with two community-led organisations in Glasgow, we suggest that as tropes of crisis and hierarchies of deservingness manifest around Europe, solidarity efforts can create spaces of resistance by drawing on a politics of place and recognizing the constructed nature of crises.

Community Groups in Context: Local Activities and Actions
In: Third Sector Research
In the past decade community groups have been portrayed as the solution to many social problems. Yet the role of 'below the regulatory radar' community action has received little research attention and thus is poorly understood in terms of both policy and practice. Focusing on self-organised community activity, this book offers the first collection of papers developing theoretical and empirically grounded knowledge of the informal, unregistered, yet largest, part of the voluntary sector. The collection includes work from leading academics, activists, policy makers and practitioners offering a new and coherent understanding of community action 'below the radar'. The book is part of the Third Sector Research Series which is informed by research undertaken at the Third Sector Research Centre, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and Barrow Cadbury Trust
