Polish School of Medicine at the University of Edinburgh (1941-1949) : a case study in the transnational history of Polish wartime migration to Great BritainPalacz, Michal Adam January 2016 (has links)
More than 400 Polish medical refugees were associated with the Polish School of Medicine (PSM) at the University of Edinburgh between 1941 and 1949. This dissertation argues that the history of the PSM can fully be understood only as a part of the refugees’ broader experience of impelled or forced migration during and immediately after the Second World War. The key findings of this case study demonstrate that the opportunity to study or work at the PSM enabled the majority of Polish exiles to overcome, to a varying extent, their refugee predicament, while medical qualifications, transferable skills and trans-cultural competency obtained in wartime Britain allowed them to pursue professional and academic careers in different countries of post-war settlement, thus in turn contributing to a global circulation of medical knowledge and practice, especially between the University of Edinburgh and Poland. This specific case study contributes to the existing knowledge of Polish wartime migration to Britain in three interrelated ways. Firstly, an overarching transnational approach is used to combine and transcend Polish and British scholarly perspectives on, respectively, emigration or immigration. Secondly, the conceptual insularity of the existing literature on the topic is challenged by analysing archival, published and digital sources pertaining to the PSM with the help of various theoretical models and concepts borrowed from forced migration and diaspora studies. Thirdly, the conventional historiography of Polish-British wartime relations is challenged by emphasising the genuinely global ramifications of the PSM’s history. By interpreting the history of the PSM with the help of different analytical tools, such as Kunz’s and Johansson’s models of refugee movement and Tweed’s theory of diasporic religion, this dissertation provides a conceptual blueprint for further research on Polish wartime migration to Britain. In turn, this case study contributes to the development of forced migration and diaspora studies not only by empirically testing the explanatory power of existing theoretical models, but also by suggesting possible new conceptual avenues, such as analysing the pre-existing trans-cultural experiences of both Polish medical refugees and their hosts at the University of Edinburgh, and adding to the ‘triadic relationship’ of diaspora, homeland and host society a fourth dimension, i.e. conflict and cooperation between different migrant or refugee communities within the same host society.

Through the eyes of Convention Refugee claimants : the social organization of a refugee determination systemLokhorst, Augusta Louise 11 1900 (has links)
The social organization of Canada's inland refugee determination system is explored in
this institutional ethnographic study. First listening to refugee claimants' experience from their
vantagepoint on the margins of society, the research then explicates the complementary social
relations of the refugee determination system in order to examine the contributing social
organization and underlying ideology of the politico-administrative system.
Three adult, English-speaking single Nigerian men, seeking Convention refugee status or
permanent resident status, were interviewed. Phenomenological methods were utilized to analyze
the data. An initial explication of the social relations of the system was conducted through the
observation of refugee determination hearings and interviews with knowledgeable informants.
Through these interviews and textual analysis, ideology at the politico-administrative level was
explored.
The findings reveal a contradiction between refugees' expectations based on Canada's
international reputation in refugee protection and support of democratic rights, and their
reception in Canada. Refugee claimants spoke of their dual experience as characterized by
exclusion and marginalization from Canadian society at the very time that they needed to
reconstruct their sense of self and adapt; of being held suspect as 'criminals' and 'illegals' by the
refugee determination system until proven 'genuine'. Inclusion depended on success in the
socially, culturally, and politically constructed Canadian refugee determination system; a process
that was foreign to them. Comprehension and successful participation in this process depended in
part on the support, resources, and information they accessed during their initial settlement
period.
The organization of the refugee determination system with a focus on the Immigration
and Refugee Board (IRB) revealed complex independent decision-making in a highly
decentralized, but hierarchical and non-transparent administrative system. Inconsistencies in
decision making and in the degree to which refugees had the opportunity to relate their
experience in refugee determination hearings were articulated and observed. Aspects of the
system such as selection of members, institutional culture, independence of the IRB, and
discourse on refugees in the Canadian media and society were indicators of how the social
relations of the system were organized by an underlying ideology. Implications for the profession
of social work and for social change were examined. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Exploring Health and Wellness for Syrian RefugeesJanuary 2020 (has links)
abstract: The number of refugees experiencing displacement is 25.9 million worldwide, with the majority in the last 7 years from Syria. While international government organizations and researchers have called for assessment of refugee health and wellness, research in this vulnerable population is limited. This dissertation is built around humanizing refugee research on health and wellness. The introduction in Chapter 1 provides an overview for the three resulting chapters which are (a) a grounded theory study to gain insight into the lives of Syrian refugees living in displacement; (b) a systematic literature review on wellness in Syrian refugees in displacement; and (c) a concept analysis to examine wellness from the perspective of Syrian refugee women within the context of displacement. Chapter 5 includes the summary, discussion, and recommendations for future research.
Chapter 2 consists of three themes which shaped the lives of Syrian refugees during displacement: (a) assets and deficits; (b) official obstacles and supports; and (c) unofficial obstacles and supports. Health emerged as a priority for the refugees which included many dimensions related to the quality of their health and health needs. The results of Chapter 2 precipitated in using wellness as a holistic lens to view Syrian refugee’s health and health needs in Chapter 3. The results of Chapter 3 added a more holistic view of Syrian refugee health, while highlighting the need for improved research methods addressing wellness in Syrian refugees. Chapter 4 clarifies and defines wellness from the perspective of Syrian refugee women. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Nursing and Healthcare Innovation 2020
