Solidarities: - Migrants and solidarities: Negotiating deservingness in welfare micropublics

移民和团结：谈判deservingness在福利micropublics（MigSol）开辟了新的领域，探索团结是如何想象和实践的移民deservingness的谈判。它探讨了谁是，谁不是，被认为值得福利服务的基本问题，如何应得的谈判和什么影响，在移民，福利结构调整和紧缩驱动的日益多样化的背景下。这种谈判有助于在那些可以获得福利国家的支持和服务的移民，或被认为可以获得的移民，与那些被排除在外的移民之间划定界限，例如，因为他们被认为是“不属于”或被视为对自己的贫困负责。MigSol从团结是以多种方式想象和实践的理解出发，探讨了新出现的欢乐形式，摩擦力和摩擦力。通过探讨在多样性和移民定居程度不同的城市地区和农村/小城镇，不同的福利和移民制度组合如何影响团结，将使差异变得可见和可比较。我们在丹麦、瑞典和英国的多地点民族志将集中在六个福利微型公共，即获得支持和服务的权利进行谈判的地方空间。我们专注于如何根据移民的代际地位构成应得性，例如，儿童、工作年龄的成年人或老年人;以及根据移民定居的邻近地区的空间尺度，在私人、公共或社会住房;在大城市或农村地区;与多数人口一起或分开。我们的目标是深入细致地了解应得性是如何谈判的，以及如何在移民，一线政府工作人员和为移民提供支持的倡导者之间进行不同形式的团结。MigSol的特点是致力于促进对话，反思和相互学习。该项目汇集了一个由人类学家和社会学家组成的国际团队，以及一个专家学术咨询委员会和主要利益攸关方代表。研究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，为关于应得、福利和移徙的公共辩论提供新的见解。

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.
