In Southern European societies such as the Portuguese, family and civil society play a relevant role in welfare policies, acting as complementary or supplementary ‘safety-nets’ to the state. In times of crises, migrants’ access to healthcare is not only questioned but put at risk. This paper unveils the specific roles played by Civil Society Organi...
Considering some of the limitations that the most common theoretical tools present for explaining the functioning of cultural diversity, we examine the multiple possibilities of the combinations that some of these theoretical-methodological tools offer, namely, conviviality (Illich in Tools for conviviality. Harper & Row, New York, 1973; Gilroy in...
The outbreak of the COVID‐19 pandemic has made explicit the burden of care shouldered by academic mothers, in addition to juggling their scholarly commitments. Although discussions are abundant on the impact of caring responsibilities on the careers of women academics, neoliberal academia continues to minimize such struggles. Despite the disruption...
As a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon, student mobility involves diverse actors, interests and rationalities. With the globalization of education, universities and other higher education providers have implemented strategies to recruit and attract international students, not least to increase their revenues and levels of internationalization (F...
Gender inequalities in higher education and scientific institutions in the neoliberal context have been approached from different perspectives: articulation between private, family and professional lives; unequal division of faculty work; dissimilar expectations regarding emotional work; moral harassment and etc. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbat...
Immigration has transformed the social, economic, political and cultural landscapes of global cities such as London, Melbourne, Milan and Amsterdam. The term 'superdiversity' captures a new era of migration-driven demographic diversifications and associated complexities. Superdiversity is the future or, in many cases, the current reality of neighbo...
Background:
Studies of factors associated with the use of Internet-based health information generally focus on general, rather than migrant populations. This study looked into the reasons why Internet-based health information is used and the effects of migration-related factors, other socio-demographic characteristics and health-related factors on...
Purpose
Research has long focused on the notion of access and the trajectory towards a healthcare encounter but has neglected what happens to patients after these initial encounters. This paper focuses attention on what happens after an initial healthcare encounter leading to a more nuanced understanding of how patients from a diverse range of back...
How people in community settings describe their experience of disappointing health care, and their responses to such dissatisfaction, sheds light on the role of marginalisation and underlines the need for radically responsive service provision. Making the case for studying unprompted accounts of dissatisfaction with healthcare provision, this is an...
Desde la última década del siglo XX y hasta el presente, se ha constatado un incremento considerable en los flujos migratorios globales e intrarregionales (OIM 2015; PNUD 2009). En el mundo habría más de 270 millones de migrantes internacionales (Naciones Unidas, 2019), aumentando su relevancia política, económica y cultural. No sólo han crecido la...
This article discusses the evolution of Portuguese immigrant incorporation policies, from 1980s to 2018. Migrants’ incoporation policies have become part of the national public agenda only recently, however, throughout this period of 30 years, many significant changes have been registered. We argue that even if advances have taken place, there is n...
Background:
Studies of the relationship between diverse populations, healthcare access and health outcomes have been dominated by approaches focusing on ethno-national groups or specific healthcare sectors. Healthcare bricolage conceptualises the processes by which individuals use multiple resources to address health concerns. It is relevant in su...
Healthcare has long been a gendered enterprise, with women taking responsibility for maintaining health and engaging with service providers. Universal healthcare provision notwithstanding, women nonetheless undertake a range of healthcare work, on their own account and on behalf of others, which remains largely invisible. As part of a multi-method...
This paper applies, for the first time, the concept of bricolage to understand the experiences of superdiverse urban populations and their practices of improvisation in accessing health services across healthcare ecosystems. By adopting the concept of healthcare bricolage and an ecosystem approach, we render visible the agency of individuals as the...

y el refugio en Portugal desde una perspectiva
sociocultural, a partir de un estudio
realizado en el marco de un proyecto europeo.
La metodología cualitativa adoptada combinó,
de manera articulada, el trabajo de campo con
el análisis de fuentes secundarias. Esto posibilitó

A imigração brasileira voltou a ter visibilidade nas discussões sobre migração em Portugal, o que se evidencia no número de matérias sobre o tema em jornais e revistas. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar como esse “novo” momento da imigração brasileira para Portugal tem sido representado na mídia portuguesa no primeiro semestre do ano de...
To date little attention has been focused on how the differing features of 'superdiverse’ neighbourhoods shape residents’ access to healthcare services. Through utilising a cross-national mixed-methods approach, the paper highlights how defining features of superdiverse neighbourhoods - ‘newness’, ‘novelty’ and ‘diversity’ - influence a number of n...
This article examines the ways in which healthcare providers from a mixed economy of welfare operating in superdiverse neighbourhoods connect and innovate across the healthcare ecosystem to meet diverse and complex needs. Moving beyond a health systems approach which siloes different types of provision, we use the concept of bricolage to make visib...
Access to universal healthcare is a normative expectation of citizens in European welfare states. As part of a comparative study of healthcare in diverse European neighbourhoods, we met women who described failures of the public healthcare system, together with gratitude for that system. Challenges to European welfare states of ageing populations,...
This paper explores policies on international student mobility to Portugal from within the Lusophone space, analyzing the cases of Angola, Cape Verde and Brazil. We argue that Portuguese strategies to attract international students respond to different demands and interests embedded in its geopolitical memberships. One the one hand, they respond to...
Las migraciones internacionales son actualmente uno de los factores que más contribuye a la diversidad cultural. Sin embargo, al enfocarse los estudios migratorios en la integración, muestran limitaciones cuando explican la diversidad intercultural. Por ello han surgido nuevos paradigmas con una visión más holística, que incluyen los patrones de re...
International migrations have become one of the main contributors to increasing cultural diversity. However, migration studies have mainly focused on integration, showing limitations from the standpoint of intercultural diversity. So, new paradigms have arisen focusing on relation patterns among groups, interactions and influences among residents o...
Resumen Este trabajo aborda algunas de las dimensiones reales y simbólicas interactuantes en la llamada “crisis de refugiados en Europa”, declarada en 2015 y que se desarrolla hasta la actualidad. Por medio de una estrategia metodológica que combina de forma articulada, técnicas de investigación cualitativas con el uso de fuentes secundarias, se pr...
This paper analyses how urban governance incorporated migration-driven superdiversity combining cultural and economic development policies. We use the case of Mouraria, a Lisbon neighbourhood, as a site where city strategies accommodate old and new diversities to render a cosmopolitan sense associated to a ‘diversity advantage’ approach. We identif...
The field of “health and migration” is relatively new, both among health sciences and social sciences, using either traditional quantitative and/or qualitative methodologies. The use of participative methodologies has been an exception although they provide an opportunity for intervention, both with users of health services or with providers. Using...
Latin American migrations to the Iberian Peninsula have experienced signifi cant growth over the past two decades. In this context, the Spanish and Portuguese states have implemented policies that build the Latin American immigrant as an exceptional foreigner, highlighting an alleged cultural compatibility that guarantees better social integration...

Although Portugal has been deeply affected by the global financial crisis, the impact of the recession and subsequent austerity on health and to health care has attracted relatively little attention. We used several sources of data including the European Union Statistics for Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) which tracks unmet medical need dur...

E...
The aim of this brief article is to introduce the debate on scientific mobility and skilled migration through presenting a detailed literature review that critically problematizes the complexity of the phenomena, considers its multifaceted aspect and the different variables involved. Furthermore, it highlights topics rarely discussed : racial and g...
In the last few decades, international scientific cooperation has become increasingly important, not only from the perspective of the development of science, but also from an economic perspective. Despite the numerous advantages resulting from these cooperations : technology transfer, institutions internationalisation and scientist circulation, oth...
Este numero especial almeja promover um debate de forma critica e reflexiva sobre a Governacao da Diversidade Cultural no atual contexto latino-americano e europeu.

Background: Diversity in Europe has both increased and become more complex posing challenges to both
national and local welfare state regimes. Evidence indicates specific barriers for migrant, faith and minority ethnic
groups when accessing healthcare. However, previous studies of health in diverse cities in European countries have mainly adopted a...
International migration contributes to increasing cultural diversity in many European cities. Historically, migration studies have focused on the integration of immigrants foregrounding race/ethnicity and identity issues, limiting our understanding of inter- cultural diversity. A new paradigm focusing on relational patterns among groups is emerging...
Adoptando una aproximación psico-sociopolítica, en el presente trabajo se describen los resultados de una evaluación de necesidades percibidas por las mujeres en edad reproductiva como usuarias de cuidados de salud primarios en contextos de diversidad asociada a la inmigración y vulnerabilidad socio-económica, en el área metropolitana de Lisboa. Se...

Os resultados derivam dum projeto de investigação europeu intitulado "Rumo à construção social duma juventude europeia: a experiência de inclusão e exclusão na esfera pública dos jovens migrantes de segunda gera...
The proportion and visibility of Brazilian women and particularly the specific images of Brazil and Brazilians in the Portuguese imaginary have contributed to the construction of new versions of stigma and stereotypes surrounding them. Mainstream images of Brazilian women have incorporated prejudices about the sensuality of Creole women who are rem...
Lately, the use of good practices in all policy fields seems to be a constant practice, reaching out to the field of health and migration. However, it is curious to verify that its theoretical development has not advanced as much. What are the consequences of the excessive use of good practices in research and in its aplication to policies regardin...
Despite the growth of studies that recognize that women migrate, it is not possible to say that most of them are feminist, or that they address the diversity of the migration experience. In general, the migration of qualified female workers continues invisibly. This article takes a feminist standpoint and examines the contributions of feminist epis...
RESUMO: Este artigo introduz o conceito de cidadania associado à sua concretização no âmbito da saúde em contextos de diversidade. Conjuga resultados de vários projetos de investigação de cariz qualitativo como forma de ilustrar algumas das estratégias concebidas pelo Estado e pela sociedade civil em resposta às mudanças trazidas pelas migrações in...

Migration has been an increasingly present phenomenon in the Portuguese society, both with regard to immigration and to emigration. This article presents a brief overview of this recent history, describing not only the flows and their main features but also the European and national context, with a special connection to legislative changes, in whic...
Immigration has certainly changed many aspects of politics and policies, and citizenship is one of them. Due to migration, both countries of origin and destination have been forced to look at citizenship with different eyes and both have gained interest in looking at migrants (both emigrants and immigrants) for different reasons. While countries of...
ResumenEl presente artículo tiene por objeto reflexionar sobre la migración altamente cualificada, teniendo en cuenta los países de origen y de destino, empleando contribuciones de la literatura internacional, principalmente de Latinoamérica, y examinando ejemplos del Sur de Europa. Estas reflexiones han inspirado algunas recomendaciones sobre polí...

As women become active in grassroots organizations, they assume gender consciousness that generally leads them to adopt or experience "feminist gender identities," which is illustrated with ethnographic material collected in Lima, Peru. I also provide a summary of the latest historical development in Peru as a framework to locate the activism of po...
This paper presents preliminary results of empirical tests of the hypothesis that inequality hinders the diffusion of new technologies..

The Welfare Bricolage project (UPWEB)will reconceptualise welfare theory through responding to the question of how all residents living in superdiverse neighbourhoods put together their healthcare. Increasing population complexity, heterogeneity and pace of change under globalisation has provoked a need to rethink welfare design, alongside issues of engagement, approachability and effectiveness.
