Pædagoger har en forpligtelse til at behandle børn i asylsystemet på lige vilkår med danske børn. Men på grund af deres forældre uklare retsstatus skal disse børn håndtere udfordringer, der risikerer at positionere dem i en slags voksenrolle. Samtidig er der særlige forhold knyttet til midlertidigheden i deres livssituation, der gør balancen mellem tilknytning og adskillelse særlig dilemmafyldt. S
I dette kapitel undersøges, hvilke rolle sprog og forestillinger om sproglig indlæring har for flygtningebørns deltagelse i daginstitutioner. Der ses på hvordan pædagoger griber sproglige udfordringer an i hverdagssituationer, og på hvordan kropssprog og inddragelse af andre sprog end dansk kan understøtte flygtningebørns inklusion i forskellige situationer. Dertil rettes opmærksomheden mod den po
Forældre med flygtningebaggrund har, som alle andre forældre, store forhåbninger til deres børns fremtid. I modsætning til andre familier skal forældre med flygtningebaggrund imidlertid hjælpe deres børn til rette i et samfund, de selv er i gang med at lære at kende, og hvor varigheden af deres ophold ofte er præget af uvished. Denne bog bringer fokus på de dilemmaer og pædagogiske balancegange, d
I dette kapitel belyses nogle af de dilemmaer, som forældresamarbejde med nytilkomne familier kan indebære. Der fokuseres på den hårfine balance mellem tillid og mistillid i relationen og mødet mellem familierne og pædagoger, der på den ene side udøver en myndighedsrolle og på den anden side intervenerer i forhold, der tilhører familiens private sfære. Arbejdet med at opbygge relationer kræver båd
Kapitlet diskuterer de balancegange mellem nærhed og distance, som pædagoger foretager i mødet med nytilkomne familier med flygtningebaggrund. Mange pædagoger vil gerne give ekstra hjælp til nytilkomne børn og deres familier, men i dette engagement udfordres på den ene side grænserne mellem professionelle og private relationer, på den anden side balancen mellem medfølelse og offergørelse. Kapitlet
Drawing on fine-grained ethnographies from Bissau, Chile, China, Egypt, Ecuador and Nepal, this volume explores how politically, religiously and (sub-)culturally inspired Utopias motivate youth in the Global South to imagine, enact and embody what was missing in the past and present. As a fluid age cohort and a social category between childhood and adulthood – and hence with tenuous links to the s
Entrepreneurship represents a potential pathway for refugees’ social and economic integration, yet existing research provides limited insight into the roles of entrepreneurial dispositions and perceptions of host-country institutions in shaping refugees’ readiness to initiate start-up activities. Drawing on survey data from Ukrainian refugees in Sweden (n = 92), this study examines the effects of
This panel explores the ambiguous nature of care in social work in the context of retreating or changing welfare states. Social work is positioned in an intermediary space between the public sphere and the private/intimate lives of citizens and families. This panel seeks to explore the ways in which the state enters into the intimate lives of citizens in a variety of contexts, conditioning relatio
Det er tydeligt, at globale diskurser om sund og succesfuld aldring (se bl.a. Lamb 2014 og 2017) har fundet vej ind i den lokale drejebog for, hvad der udgør det optimale livsforløb (Oxlund 2018). Med fokus på fysisk aktivitet og individuel optimering har ideerne om sund aldring været med til at løfte barren for, hvad den enkelte forventes at investere i for både at føje år til livet og liv til å
In this article I shed light on the phenomenon of Chinese young people’s conversion to Christianity and argue that it is often closely tied to a utopian longing for what is missing in their lives (Bloch 1907). Through a person-centered account of two young people, I explore their quests to escape the temporal predicament of endless striving 'fuzao' and search for a better life based autotelic valu
As a fluid age cohort and a social category between childhood and adulthood – and hence with tenuous links to the status quo – youth are variously described as ‘at risk’, as victims of precarious and unpredictable circumstances, or as agents of social change who embody the future. From this future-oriented generational perspective, youth are often mobilised to individually and collectively imagine
In Danish political discourse, social housing areas – also labelled migrant ‘ghettos’ – are currently strongly problematized, sometimes referred to as ‘holes in the national map of Denmark’ and described as fostering ‘parallel’ societies where gang cultures thrive and people live lives profoundly disengaged from the larger national community (cf. Johansen and Jensen 2017; Jensen 2016). Everyday li
This Frontiers paper develops a synthesis on deliberating smart knowledge politics for urban transformations, based on a 3-year collaborative research project conducting case studies in cities in the UK, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain (de Hoop et al. 2017). Over the past decade, smart urban initiatives have been presented as a panacea for complex urban challenges (Kummitha and Reddy 20
Transforming Chinese Patriarchy, edited by Gonçalo D. Santos and Stevan Harrell, is athought-provoking collection of meditations upon changes in the gendered landscape ofcontemporary Chinese society. The book focuses on“gender systems”primarily as anelement of“family systems”, and it deals with“patriarchal configurations”as seen througha lens that is both gendered and inter-generational. It cont
Education is seen as a protective factor for refugee children (Gunton, 2007; Block et al., 2014). Evidences from countries with an extensive experience on refugee education show that the ability of schools to provide immediate and appropriate support is pivotal in order to favour a smooth accommodation process and ensure settlement, safety, and security for children (Bash, 2006; Porche et al. 2011
