Abstract This article explores the use of participatory methods in a research project with young people in return migrant families.

Discrimination in the labour market: nationality, ethnicity and the recession

Abstract Previous research shows that immigrants, in common with other groups that suffer disadvantage in the labour market, are more vulnerable during recession. However, little research has focused on the impact of the Great Recession on work-related discrimination. We examine the extent to which discrimination varies across different national-ethnic groups in Ireland, and whether discrimination increased between 2004, during an … Read More

Migrant mothers and the geographies of belonging

adminLeave a Comment

Abstract Much academic research on migrant mothers focuses on mothers who are separated from their children, often through their integration into global care chains, or on mothers within the context of family migration. This paper argues that co-resident migrant mothers’ experiences provide an important window on the complexities of the migration experience. Using a specific case study of Ireland, and … Read More

Migrant deportability: Israel and Ireland as case studies

adminLeave a Comment

Abstract This article critiques policies of deportation and deportability – a technology emanating from three seemingly conflicting rationalities: states’ obligations under international human rights regimes, capitalism’s need to facilitate the movement of labour, and the need to reaffirm state sovereignty. After outlining the concept of deportability, we argue that although justified by state actors as an integral part of asylum … Read More

‘Always on the Move, but Going Nowhere Fast’: Motivations for ‘Euro-commuting’ between the Republic of Ireland and Other EU States

Abstract: This article analyses the mobility motivations of an under-studied stream of intra-European migrants, namely that of cross-border commuters between two or more European states—or ‘Euro-commuters’. Based on in-depth interviews with high-skilled, professional Euro-commuters between the Republic of Ireland and other European Union (EU) states, I ask whether Euro-commuting is a mobility strategy to mitigate the longer-term separations more conventional … Read More

Does union membership benefit immigrant workers in ‘hard times’?

adminLeave a Comment

Abstract Immigrants experience many obstacles in obtaining jobs with comparable pay and conditions to native workers. Arguably, unionisation could offer migrant workers the mechanism to obtain better pay and conditions. This paper examines whether migrant workers have benefited from unionisation in terms of pay, pensions and health insurance in Ireland. Based on a large-scale national survey, we find that union … Read More

The religio-cultural dimensions of life for young Muslim women in a small Irish town

Abstract Studies of young Western-born/raised Muslims show the multiple, complex and changing relationships they have with their religion, and what freedom and autonomy might mean in this context. Despite such evidence, popular and academic discourses of the emancipated and free female subject of neoliberal society eclipse such important themes for Muslim youth. Using qualitative evidence from a study of young … Read More
