Forced Migration and Vulnerable Groups

We invite articles on the topic of forced migration, with a specific focus on the experience of vulnerable groups, together with transformative possibilities offered by social work practitioners, researchers and educators. The social work profession has a civic responsibility to give social and political voice to issues of forced migration from the perspective of refugees from marginalised and minority backgrounds. Migration is not just a young, male, social phenomena. Asylum seekers, displaced persons and forced migrants reflect all social minorities. Forced migration and displacement intersects with categories of inequality, including gender, race, religion, sexual preference, abilities, class and caste, creating a double jeopardy situation of interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.

We are looking forward to academic papers that reflect this theme using a theoretical, methodological or practical viewpoint. Possible topics of this special issue can be but are not limited to the following:

  • Highlighting the experience of border mobilities and cultural encounters for marginalised migrant groups
  • Intersectionality between forced migration and other categories of inequality, discrimination and disadvantage
  • Exposing populist myths on forced refugee migration and displacement
  • Contextualising the experiences of vulnerable migrant groups over the life-course
  • Challenging the problematisation of forced migrants and the conditionality of social acceptance and inclusion
  • Critiquing the aims and models of integration, inclusion and resettlement
  • Culture, critical reflection and radical practices
  • Positioning of migrant minorities in society
  • Equality, equity and social justice for migrant minority groups
