New open access book:

Framing Refugees: How the Admission of Refugees is Debated in Six Countries across the World
(Oxford Univ. Press, Aug. 2024) [open access]
- "Framing Refugees analyzes political discourse on the admission of refugees in six countries from different regions of the world: Germany, Poland, and Turkey, all responding to the exodus of Syrian and Middle Eastern refugees; Chile’s reaction to the Venezuelan displacement; Singapore and its stance toward Rohingya refugees; and Uganda facing the displacement from South Sudan. The book takes a cultural sociological perspective, emphasizing the importance of framing and the cultural repertories that frames are based on. It shows that refugee policies are shaped by how governments and opposition parties respond to two questions: Who are 'we,' the receiving nation? And who are 'they,' the refugees? In framing the 'we' and the 'others,' politicians draw on cultural repertoires, which vary by country and political constituency within a country."
