These findings raise critical questions for the new Practical Guide from EUAA that rely on organisations for information and services.

What role do LGBTQ+ organisations play in sexual orientation asylum cases? Claimants linked to LGBTQ+ organisations come from fewer countries, provide more written evidence, and are processed differently.

The findings show that work is framed as a tool to establish a sense of belonging in Finland while also creating symbolic boundaries within the Ukrainian community.

This qualitative study explores what online discussions within the Ukrainian community in Finland reveal about Ukrainian forced migrants’ adaptation strategies and the role of work in negotiating their place in Finnish society.

The most apparent difference between the two country contexts is that in Finland, climate migrants are solely described as the "others" who come from far away whereas in the Dutch media climate migration is also described as something that will happen to the Dutch themselves and to other Europeans.

The findings illustrate that although the discourse of apocalyptic, climate change induced mass migration is already past its prime within the academic research field, this type of framing is still prominent in the news media.

This article looks into the framing of climate migration in the Finnish and Dutch news media. The authors find that climate migration is envisioned as something that will be massive in size, chaotic, and uncontrollable.

Through this engagement with the critical scholarly migration debate, the analysis provides insights into how understandings of citizenship are (re)produced ‘from below,’ ultimately creating different conditions for refugees to become part of Danish society.

The article provides empirical examples of how dilemmas and ambiguities stem from the limitations of existing concepts. Furthermore, it demonstrates how discursive scenarios of state–immigrant relationships create different host–society opportunity structures for refugees’ resettlement.

In this article, Kathrine Vitus and Frederikke Jarlby analyse how local stakeholders interpret, align with, and contest national policy conceptualisations and goals of integration and how fundamental questions of citizenship and deservingness are at stake in these interpretations.

It discusses the fine line between interpreting and mediating, which depends on expectations, skills, and relationships with other key actors in the interview.

The article explores interpreters' experience of interpreting in the highly complex setting of asylum interviews, highlighting interpreters’ working conditions and a widespread mistrust in their skills.

The papers encourage researchers in transnational migration research to critically reflect on their research practices, and open pathways for conceptual frameworks that move beyond simplistic binaries, challenge state-centric approaches and question Eurocentrism in research agendas.

The contributions within the Special Issue make visible the various methodological and epistemological challenges within transnational migration research that arise from three predicaments — ‘destination country bias’, asymmetric power relations, and the ‘national order of things’.
