Imagined Identities and Communities in the Learning Context of Finnish as a Second Language
2022
This case study on two migrant pupils of Finnish as L2 was carried out in Finland, which lies outside the most common context of such research, i.e. ESL or EFL in an English-speaking country. The study thus attempts to address the need to expand the research contexts of L2 identity issues. Using ethnographic data collected inside and outside a preparatory language classroom, this study aims to examine how the pupils make sense of their new learning environment and how, through language learning, they construct identities. The results show that they extend their repertoire of identities and connect to a wider world of possibilities as they strive to gain greater resources in their imagined c…

Intra-EU Mobility: The Employment and Welfare Experience of Temporary EU Workers in the United Kingdom
2021
This article explores the mobility pathways of temporary EU workers and the implications that transnational temporary mobility has on their labor market outcomes and access to social rights and benefits. The experiences of temporary EU migrants working in the UK show that despite the narrative of the borderlessness of the common European labor market, access to host countries’ labor market and welfare is shaped by their employment status and welfare eligibility criteria that produce worker precariousness. Temporary EU workers’ experiences are characterized by employment insecurity and unequal access to labor and social rights, effects which might increase since the UK has left the EU.
Agency of labour in a flexible pan-European labour market : a qualitative study of migrant practices and trade union strategies in the Netherlands
2015
Regulatory frameworks on intra-EU mobility and flexible cross-border employment relations have stimulated competition on labour costs by recruiting migrants via cheaper labour market regimes. While it allows firms to remunerate migrants under different terms and conditions, blurring regulatory boundaries also generates opportunities for non-compliance, resulting in violations of migrant labour rights across Europe. Against this background, this thesis explores the agency of labour, more specifically of temporary migrant workers and unions, and the ways they cope with and respond to the competitive dynamics of the pan- European labour market. This study draws on 90 qualitative interviews wit…
Beware of the “poverty migrant”: media discourses on EU labour migration and the welfare state in Germany and the UK
2021
Abstract This article examines the role of the media in the EU freedom of movement debate through the lens of high-circulation German and UK newspapers during the first half of 2014. It explores how the media problematised migration from Eastern European member states and its influence on national host country labour markets and welfare systems. It also analyses how different media outlets positioned themselves in relation to relevant policies or policy proposals. The findings show that most articles in our sample present low-skill, low-wage working European Union (EU) migrant class referred to as “poverty migrants” as a problem to be addressed at the policy level in contrast with the econo…
The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
