Investigating the mental health and wellbeing of young Arabic-speaking adolescents who have migrated to Ireland from conflict-affected countries

Image
  by Yvonne Leckey, Sinead McGilloway and Rita Sakr  Families from refugee backgrounds living in high income countries, often experience poorer psychological and wellbeing outcomes due to the many health, social and cultural challenges experienced post-migration (Fazel et al. 2012).  Over half of the world’s refugees are children aged under 18, many of whom have come from conflict-affected countries where they have experienced multiple traumas. The long-term effects of pre-migration traumas, including conflict, violence, separation and/or loss of family members, may persist without adequate supports, potentially exacerbating existing difficulties. Post-migration, refugees commonly face stigmatisation and discrimination in their host countries, contributing further to poor mental wellbeing.  In response to the refugee crisis in 2015, the Irish Government established the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP), with a commitment to accept up to 4000 refugees through ...

Vertical Verse: Aerial Maps of the Middle East in Contemporary Irish Poetry.

Image
  By Natasha Remoundou This blog article explores the ways technological media of vertical and oblique war photography and military surveillance are captured in contemporary Irish poetry to open up discussions about the Western 'gaze', ways of 'seeing'/'mapping', mobility, and conflict in the Middle East. In the photographic series ‘Heat Maps’, Irish conceptual documentary photographer Richard Mosse documents a digital atlas that archives forced mobility across the globe while capturing in film a haunting parallel journey between spectators and those that remain ‘unseen’ from above and afar. By means of repurposing military surveillance technology, Mosse uses vertical and oblique mid-wave infrared camera techniques, commonly used to detect and track criminals, to photograph humans in states of exception and landscapes in ruins. The specific use of this apparatus of visual surveillance assembles the transcontinental trails of migrants from Africa and the Persia...

The Impact of the Arab Spring on Palestine

Image
By Yaser Alashqar As outlined in this commentary, my research has been concerned with the continuing impact of the Arab Spring uprisings on the question of Palestine. Erupting in December 2010 in Tunisia, the movements of popular protests swept through other key states in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region and included Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and Libya in 2011. The collective protests focused on challenging similar grievances such as authoritarianism, political mismanagement, oppressive security regimes, the lack of economic opportunities and freedom. Although previous scholarly work has demonstrated that the Palestinian experience of the Intifada (popular uprising) and the Palestinian cause held an important place in the consciousness of Arab Spring protesters , the sudden wave of protests across the Arab world has posed a difficult challenge to the centrality of the Palestinian question in Middle Eastern affairs. Arab states and peoples became extremely preoccupied ...
