Migrants and solidarities: Negotiating deservingness in welfare micropublics (MigSol) breaks new ground by exploring how solidarities are imagined and practiced in negotiations of migrant deservingness. It explores the fundamental question of who is, and who is not, considered deserving of welfare services, how deservingness is negotiated and with what implications, in a context of increasing diversity driven by migration, welfare restructuring, and austerity. Such negotiations serve to draw boundaries between those migrants who have access to the support and services of the welfare state, or are believed to have access, and those who are excluded, e.g. because they are deemed as ‘not belonging’ or are seen as responsible for their own neediness.Setting out from the understanding that solidarities are imagined and practiced in diverse ways, MigSol explores emerging forms of conviviality, friction and contestation. Variation will be made visible and comparable by exploring how solidarities are informed by different constellations of welfare and migration regimes, in both urban areas and rural / small towns with varying degrees of diversity and migrant settlement. Our multi-sited ethnography in Denmark, Sweden, and the UK will focus on six welfare micropublics, local spaces where entitlements to support and services are negotiated.We focus on how deservingness is constituted according to migrants’ generational status e.g., as children, working-age adults, or elders; and according to spatial dimensions of the neighbourhood where migrants settle e.g., in private, public or social housing; in major cities or in rural areas; together with, or apart from, majority populations. We aim for a deep and nuanced understanding of how deservingness is negotiated, and how different forms of solidarities are practiced, in encounters between migrants, frontline government workers, and advocates who offer and provide support for migrants.MigSol is characterised by a commitment to promoting dialogue, reflection, and mutual learning. The project brings together an international team of anthropologists and sociologists with an expert Academic Advisory Board and key stakeholder representatives. Results will be disseminated through scientific publications, stakeholder reports, a documentary film, exhibit, and a multi-media website, contributing fresh insights to public debates on deservingness, welfare, and migration.

移民与团结：福利微型公共的应得性谈判 (MigSol) 通过探索在移民应得性谈判中如何想象和实践团结，开辟了新天地。它探讨了在移民、福利重组和紧缩推动多样性日益增加的背景下，谁应该、谁不应该获得福利服务、如何协商应得性以及会产生什么影响等基本问题。这种谈判有助于在那些能够获得或被认为能够获得福利国家的支持和服务的移民与那些被排除在外的移民之间划定界限。因为他们被视为“没有归属感”，或者被视为对自己的需要负责。基于对团结的想象和实践方式多种多样的理解，MigSol 探索了新兴形式的欢乐、摩擦和争论。通过探索在不同程度的多样性和移民定居的城市地区和农村/小城镇中，不同的福利和移民制度如何影响团结，使差异变得可见和可比。我们在丹麦、瑞典和英国的多地点民族志研究将重点关注六个福利微型公共场所，即在其中协商获得支持和服务的权利的当地空间。我们重点关注如何根据移民的代际地位（例如儿童、工作年龄的成年人或老年人）构成应得性；并根据移民居住的社区的空间维度，例如私人、公共或社会住房；在大城市或农村地区；与大多数人口一起或分开。我们的目标是深入细致地了解在移民、一线政府工作人员以及为移民提供支持的倡导者之间的接触中，如何协商应得的权利，以及如何实践不同形式的团结。MigSol 的特点是致力于促进对话、反思和相互学习。该项目汇集了由人类学家和社会学家组成的国际团队以及专家学术顾问委员会和主要利益相关者代表。结果将通过科学出版物、利益相关者报告、纪录片、展览和多媒体网站传播，为有关应得、福利和移民的公众辩论提供新的见解。
