Mennonite Central Committee

Through a qualitative case study with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) sponsorship groups and former refugee newcomers, we adopt a reflexive, relational, and systemic lens (Bourdieu) to analyze the institutional and interpersonal relationships in the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program, and more specifically, the ways in which MCC Ontario’s sponsorship program invigorates or frustrates dynamics of social inclusion. We situate the institutional relations of the PSR Program as nested social fields and sub-fields, revealing complementary and competing systems of capital that direct explicit and implicit visions for “success” in MCC sponsorships. A peculiar Mennonite/MCC social field and structure of capital generates institutional and social tensions, yet an ambivalent disposition or divided habitus presents possibilities for seeing, understanding, and challenging dynamics of social exclusion.

Neighbourhood Change

Objective. To explore how older people who are “aging in place” are affected when the urban neighbourhoods in which they are aging are themselves undergoing socioeconomic and demographic change.Methods. A qualitative case study was conducted in two contrasting neighbourhoods in Montréal (Québec, Canada), the analysis drawing on concepts of social exclusion and attachment.Results. Participants express variable levels of attachment to neighbourhood. Gentrification triggered processes of social exclusion among older adults: loss of social spaces dedicated to older people led to social disconnectedness, invisibility, and loss of political influence on neighbourhood planning. Conversely, certain changes in a disadvantaged neighbourhood fostered their social inclusion.Conclusion. This study thus highlights the importance of examining the impacts of neighbourhood change when exploring the dynamics of aging in place and when considering interventions to maintain quality of life of those concerned.

Empirical Measurement

This paper provides an in-depth description and case application of a conceptual model of social exclusion: aiming to advance existing knowledge on how to conceive of and identify this complex idea, evaluate the methodologies used to measure it, and reconsider what is understood about its social realities toward a meaningful and measurable conception of social inclusion. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual tools of social fields and systems of capital, our research posits and applies a theoretical framework that permits the measurement of social exclusion as dynamic, social, relational, and material. We begin with a brief review of existing social exclusion research literature, and specifically examine the difficulties and benefits inherent in quantitatively operationalizing a necessarily multifarious theoretical concept. We then introduce our conceptual model of social exclusion and inclusion, which is built on measurable constructs. Using our ongoing program of research as a case study, we briefly present our approach to the quantitative operationalization of social exclusion using secondary data analysis in the Canadian context. Through the development of an Economic Exclusion Index, we demonstrate how our statistical and theoretical analyses evidence intersecting processes of social exclusion which produce consequential gaps and uneven trajectories for migrant individuals and groups compared with Canadian-born, and racial minority groups versus white individuals. To conclude, we consider some methodological implications to advance the empirical measurement of social inclusion.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the perceptions of hope for people with depression in the context of a therapy group. Methods: using a qualitative case study approach, a semi-structured in-depth interview and a self-report questionnaire were conducted with seven women with depression integrated in a therapy group at a Portuguese day-care psychiatric unit. Data collection and analysis used triangulation of sources. Results: the participants evidenced hope founded on the positive experiences of the past with a strong affiliation component. Hope management is done fundamentally through the interpersonal relationships established between the members of the group, based on communicational patterns that are established on a regular basis, mediated by the group therapist. Conclusion: the therapy group functioned towards the reinforcement of hope in people who experience depression, and it works as a motivation to manage the implications of illness in the participants’ life and health project.

Engaging communities at risk of social exclusion poses a big challenge for science communicators. We schematize a framework for projects using science & art to promote social inclusion, composed of 3 phases — design, plan and collaboration; implementation; and evaluation. We present a case study that aimed to engage with a community of migrant senior women, mostly illiterate. Our findings suggest high engagement was achieved by building trust, involving emotions, choosing a relatable topic and following participatory practices. Inclusive activities occurred on the short-term, but for medium-term impact, community insiders need to be regarded as a second audience.

Cultural Justice

In this paper, I contest the claim that cultural geography is ‘irrelevant’ to policy addressing major social justice issues. Engaging both with the ‘relevance’ and the ‘culture–economy’ debates in human geography, and with wider feminist political theory, I argue that the recognition of issues of ‘cultural justice’ is crucial to an effective engagement with social justice issues. I suggest a new approach to the cultural economy debate that neither forces a choice between culture and economy, nor only ‘transcends’ their division. Instead, the concept of ‘revaluing’ is introduced, which encompasses both the cultural and the economic but allows one or the other, or both, to be asserted—depending on the spatial and political context. These points are developed through a qualitative case study of the Single Regeneration Budget, a policy which attempts to address social exclusion, inequality, and deprivation. This case study suggests that a lack of attention to cultural justice issues, such as recognition and respect, leads to a policy that fails to remedy, and even perpetuates, the exclusionary mechanisms it seeks to address. Instead, a more fundamental revaluing of socially excluded people and places needs to be carried out in order to achieve greater inclusion. Indeed, reflecting on these issues through cultural and feminist lenses, I suggest a wider remit than policy for human geographers to engage effectively with major social justice issues.

El artículo analiza, a partir del caso de estudio de asentamientos chabolistas en Madrid y Barcelona, la población Rrom que ubicándose en la periferia de dichas ciudades malvive en condiciones de pobreza y exclusión social. Basándose en una investigación de corte cualitativo donde se aprecian similitudes en cuanto a los medios de subsistencia empleados por el colectivo, así cómo la movilidad constante tanto en España como en Europa, el artículo se interroga el papel que tienen las administraciones públicas a nivel local y regional en la búsqueda de soluciones que permitan una mayor inclusión social y mejoras en la calidad de vida. Mediante una comparativa de los asentamientos, esta investigación presenta la experiencia profesional desarrollada en asentamientos con altos niveles de exclusión social donde se pone de relieve, la necesidad de intervenir socialmente desde el Trabajo Social y además, bajo una armonización de protocolos de atención social a la población Rrom desde una perspectiva igualitaria dentro de la Unión Europea, debido sobre todo a las prácticas similares de subsistencia de la población y por compartir procesos de exclusión y pobreza desde origen. The article analyzes, based on the case study of shanty towns in Madrid and Barcelona, the Rrom population, which is located on the periphery of these cities, lives in conditions of poverty and social exclusion. Based on qualitative research where similarities can be seen in terms of livelihoods used by the collective, as well as constant mobility both in Spain and in Europe, the article questions the role of public administrations at local and regional level in the search for solutions that allow greater social inclusion and improvements in the quality of life. Through a comparison of the settlements, this research presents the professional experience developed in settlements with high levels of social exclusion where it is highlighted, the need to intervene socially from Social Work and also, under a harmonization of social care protocols to the Rrom population from an egalitarian perspective within the European Union, mainly due to the similar practices of subsistence of the population and for sharing processes of exclusion and poverty from origin.

Resumen: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo establecer en qué grado la intervención educativa mediante la actividad físico-deportiva, ha repercutido en la mejora de determinadas conductas de un grupo de alumnos de Educación Secundaria en situación de Riesgo de Exclusión Social. Para ello, se han llevado a cabo varias sesiones de deportes de combate, con las que se han demostrado que estos deportes promueven una serie de valores, entre los que están la cooperación y cohesión de grupo que mejoran la conducta de quien los practican. El diseño metodológico utilizado ha sido un estudio de caso de tipo descriptivo y cualitativo y el instrumento utilizado ha sido el Programa de Responsabilidad Personal y Social de Hellison (1995) mediante la entrevista y la observación directa. La aplicación de este programa ha resultado en una mejora de la conducta de los adolescentes tanto en el entorno escolar y en las actividades extraescolares como en fuera del centro.Abstract:This research aims to establish the extent to which the Personal and Social Responsibility Program of Hellison through physical activity has impacted on the improvement of certain behaviors of a group of high school students in a situation of Social Exclusion Risk. To this end, several combat sports sessions have been carried out, which have shown that these sports promote a series of values among which are cooperation and group cohesion that improve the behavior of those who practice them. The methodological design used has been a descriptive and qualitative case study and the instrument used has been the Personal and Social Responsibility Program of Hellison (1995) through interview and direct observation. The application of this program has resulted in an improvement in the behavior of adolescents both in the school environment and in out-of-school activities as well as outside the center.

Investigating the replication of microcredit methodologies in Brazil, this paper seeks to explore the conditions under which microfinance and microcredit, two “financial inclusion” strategies, are likely to enhance social inclusion. A qualitative case study was conducted focusing the path of CrediAmigo, a Brazilian microfinance institution (MFI). This study is probably the first to provide an integrated perspective on critical issues concerning the replication of microcredit methodologies in Brazil. The findings may support MFI managers and policy makers in taking steps to facilitate the expansion of microfinance across Brazil.
