Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Social work with displaced people has an extended background in the history of the profession. Yet, it has taken different forms and remits over time, parallel to the evolving legal and political definition of refugee themselves. Inside Europe, in particular, social work with forced migrants has gained new visibility and increasing complexity after the so-called refugee crisis. Aspects like people's limited visibility and eligibility towards formal welfare services, their uncertain legal status, their temporal “liminality” and their non-linear patterns of mobility have all major consequences for social work practice, research and education. In discussing them, we highlight the need to invest in students' (and practitioners') reflexivity, given both the complexity of building up trust-based relationships with forcibly displaced people, and the risk of cultivating essentialized, stigmatizing or nativist representations about them. In all of these respects, our introduction provides a conceptual basis for this Special Issue of EJSW, and for the broader debate in social work across Europe.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter describes comparative knowledge production by way of bringing together already existing research financed by other means and local development projects within a defined area of research and intervention. The projects were all dealing with migration but based in different urban contexts, and they were brought together in a systematic way we call clustering. This methodology was developed through a joint venture of comparative knowledge production involving researchers, practitioners and civil society actors. Clustering represents a method for comparison and knowledge production across discrete research and development projects within a joint field or theme, but based in dissimilar societal contexts. Inspired by assemblage theory, relevant key questions were identified to guide the comparative work. This approach enabled participants to exchange and discuss experiences, build new knowledge and elaborate potentials across projects and localities without full understanding of the often very different background, context and dynamic of each project. The contribution lies primarily in the chapter's presentation of a methodology for knowledge exchange and building in transdisciplinary and translocal setting, without a budget to fund a rigorous and systematic comparison on the empirical level.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Public social policy was institutionalized at a time of intense nation-state building; it wasshaped by, and contributed to the closure of the Westphalian system of social protection.Today’s globalization processes in general, and population mobility and cross-borderdynamics of social problems in particular, challenge such framings of social problems andpolicy interventions. The ‘mobility turn’ within the social sciences has brought forwardrelevant theoretical tools and perspectives for the unbounding of the social from suchnational framings. This chapter contributes to this debate by reviewing two kinds of socialpolicy developments in which this unbounding is evident, though varying in scope anddynamics. The first example draws on a single-case study of the public old-age pension inSweden; it shows how this has included national and foreign citizens who have immigratedto and emigrated from Sweden in varying degrees over time. The second example points thegrowing importance of international organisations in field of public health, compared to inteera of international cooperation, and discusses implications of this for a rights-based healthcare. The chapter suggests a denationalized epistemology as a fruitful way forward fordebates about social justice and social policy within and across countries in the globalisedsociety.
