The Happy Home: Ageing, Migration, and Housing in Relation to Older Migrants’ Subjective Wellbeing Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Hasselt
(1) Background: With an increasingly diversifying ageing population, it is important to understand what ‘ageing well’ means to older adults with a migration background. Given older adults’ preference to age in place and declining mobility, housing is a significant place in later life. Therefore, this paper explores the influence of housing, migration, and age on older migrants’ subjective wellbeing, with attention to immaterial aspects such as a ...

Migration dynamics of clupeoids in the Schelde estuary: a stable isotope approach Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Large numbers of young of the year herring (Clupea harengus L.) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus (L.)) typically enter and remain within North
Sea estuaries during the winter months. The main purpose of this study was to examine their migration dynamics between the North Sea and the
Schelde estuary using C and N stable isotopes. Prior to this, stomach contents were used to verify the isotopic differences between the food
sources at ...

Migration Policies, Social Policies and Labour Market Regulation. The Case of the Textile Industries in Sixteenth-Century Bruges Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sixteenth-century Bruges represents a highly relevant case to study the interactions between migration policies, social policies, and the regulation of urban labour markets. Notwithstanding the emigration of a third of its population shortly before 1500, Bruges succeeded in stabilising its economic position, in raising the output of its most important industrial sector, i.e. textile production, to new peaks by innovation, and in recuperating ...
The persuasive potential of metaphor when framing Mexican migrants and migration : a comparative study of the US written press Universiteit Gent
Approaching new migration through Elias' 'established' and 'outsiders' lens Vrije Universiteit Brussel
When considering social positions and features that become distinguishing for migrants’ positioning, scholars quite often rely on empirical descriptions, based on discrete and supposedly clearly definable factors. Whereas elements such as legal position, citizenship, etc. are of huge relevance in numerous contexts, in other domains relying on such delineations while studying discriminatory processes oversimplifies the picture. In this paper, a ...

Leaving Europe, Navigating Access: Status Migration, Traveling Habitus, and Racial Capital in Euro-Maghrebi Mobilities to the United Arab Emirates KU Leuven
This doctoral thesis is an ethnographic study that examines the emigration motives and social itineraries of second-generation Euro-Maghrebis who resettle to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) using a qualitative methodology. It focuses in particular on tertiary-educated EU citizens born and raised in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, who had at least one parent born in Morocco, Algeria or Tunisia, and who were themselves either working ...
