Item Care as Resistance, Care as Agency, Care as a Burden: A Relational Exploration of the Impact of Giving and Receiving Care on Refugees’ Lives(Oxford University Press, 2025-09-23) Baillot, Helen; Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Yurdakul, G.; Beaman, J.; Mügge, L.; Scuzzarello, S.; Sunanta, S.This chapter discusses the multidimensionality and multidirectionality of care and its impact upon refugees’ pathways toward inclusion. Drawing on qualitative data collected during workshops and interviews with 55 recently recognized refugees in Scotland, the chapter explores how care in multiple forms is experienced, given, and negotiated. The chapter draws from ideas around care that conceptualize it as a means to resist restrictive government policies, as an expression of agency within familial and social contexts, and as a burden that affects people differentially as they seek to rebuild lives in new country contexts. In exploring the multiple dimensions and directions of care and the ways it intersects with gender and immigration status, among other social locations, we highlight conceptual and empirical parallels between care and integration. One, the text suggests, should not be understood without full consideration of the other. The chapter concludes by calling for care to be accorded a greater importance in explorations of refugees’ integration experiences, in ways that fully encompass care’s potentialities and limitations for the people who provide and receive it.Item International migration and displacement(Routledge, 2025-03-25) Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Reyes Muñoz, Vania; Halvorsen, SamThis chapter explores key dynamics of the geographies of international mobility in Latin America. By focusing on the different spaces in which mobility is produced, experienced and managed, this chapter provides an overview of international migration dynamics in the region. Drawing on examples of regional migration, the chapter examines the dynamics of mobility, including stages, drivers (socioeconomic, conflict, persecution, survival, climate change, etc.) and patterns (intra-regional, forced migration, feminisation of migration and care chains) of migration in Latin America, and then explores the experiences of those who migrate in relation to bordering practices. The chapter briefly discusses, and provides examples of, the management and governance of migration in the region, and then discusses the experiences of resilience and processes of migrant inclusion and resistance.Item The shifting grammar of durable solutions in Latin America(Edward Elgar, 2023) Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Jacobsen, Karen; Majidi, NassimItem Weakening Practices Amidst Progressive Laws: Refugee Governance in Latin America during COVID-19(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-10-05) Zapata, Gisela P.; Gandini, Luciana; Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Prieto Rosas, VictoriaThis paper develops a comparative assessment of the state of asylum in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay. It argues that an accelerated weakening of refugee protection, exacerbated during the pandemic, has taken place across the region. Faced with growing mixed flows, the region’s refugee framework has either been used as an ad hoc regularization mechanism or not been broadly used. Also, pandemic mitigation measures have further weakened access to asylum, through militarization and border closures, and a platitude of deterrence practices. These regressive practices may result in the undermining, abandonment and/or replacement of the region’s widely praised refugee governance.Item Organizaciones sociales en Chile invisibles a los medios(Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen, Universidad de Chile, 2005) Lagos, Claudia; Matus, Alejandra; Vera Espinoza, MarciaSi bien la libertad de expresión en Chile ha experimentado cambios positivos en los últimos años, hay una dimensión que no cuenta aún con suficiente estudio y conocimiento: el tratamiento y reconocimiento que hacen los medios de los actores sociales chilenos, sobre todo de aquellos actores sociales que, por su falta de poder político o económico, no pertenecen al stablishment. El objeto de este trabajo es conseguir una evaluación cualitativa y cuantitativa de la presencia que logran en los medios las agrupaciones políticas y sociales menos poderosas.Item 4 Cuadras a la Redonda. Diagnóstico y perspectivas de las radios comunitarias de la Región Metropolitana(Instituto de la Comunicación e Imagen, Universidad de Chile, 2005) Rodríguez, Raúl; Vera Espinoza, MarciaLa radio comunitaria es un instrumento democratizador de las comunicaciones, en el proceso de generar relaciones que fortalezcan la identidad de lo propio, del entorno, el barrio o la comuna. Constituye, por tanto, una dimensión importante en el ejercicio del Derecho a la Comunicación y la Libertad de Expresión. El presente trabajo compila investigaciones exploratorias referidas a la acción local de las radios comunitarias, la ley de mínima cobertura y la evaluación de las radios comunitarias de Santiago, entre otras.Item A Hundred Key Questions for the Post-2015 Development Agenda(UNRISD, 2015-03-20) Oldekop, Johan A.; Fontana, Lorenza B.; Grugel, Jean; Roughton, Nicole; Adu-Ampong, Emmanuel A.; Bird, Gemma K.; Wallin, Sara; Dorgan, Alex; Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Hammett, Daniel; Agbarakwe, Esther; Agrawal, Arun; Asylbekova, Nurgul; Azkoul, Clarissa; Bardsley, Craig; Bebbington, Anthony J.; Carvalho, Savio; Chopra, Deepta; Christopoulos, Stamatios; Dop, Marie-Claude; Fischer, Joern; Gerretsen, Daan; Glennie, Jonathan; Gois, William; Gondwe, Mtinkheni; Harrison, Lizz A.; Hujo, Katja; Keen, Mark; Laserna, Roberto; Miggiano, Luca; Mistry, Sarah; Morgan, Rosemary J.; Raftree, Linda L.; Rhind, Duncan; Rodrigues, Thiago; Roschnik, Sonia; Senkubuge, Flavia; Thornton, Ian; Trace, Simon; Ore, Teresa; Valdes, Rene Mauricio; Vira, Bhaskar; Yeates, Nicola; Sutherland, William J.Item Migration, Pandemic and Responses from the Third Sector: Lessons from Brazil and India [Report](Queen Mary University of London, 2021) Nair, Parvati; Vera Espinoza, Marcia; Zapata, Gisela P.; Tiwary, Smita; Castro, Flavia R.; Nizami, Arsala; Jorgensen, Nuni; Yadav, Abhishek; Oza, Ekta; Khan, Feroz; Ranjan, Rakesh; Zocchi, Benedetta; Barve, Suyash; Barraco, MariaItem Rethinking Refugee Integration through the experiences of resettlement in Latin America [Blog Post](Sussex Centre for Migration Research, University of Sussex, 2016-09) Vera Espinoza, MarciaItem How can global migration governance find innovative solutions in times of anti-immigrant sentiment?
