“…Based on Bourdieu's theory of practice (2000 [1972]), some scholars make a useful distinction between 'categories of practice' (or 'common sense categories') and 'categories of analysis'. Various terms that inform migration policies have been scrutinised using such a distinction, in particular culture (Baumann 1996), ethnicity (Wimmer 2009), identity (Brubaker and Cooper 2000), integration (Korteweg 2017) and migration (Dahinden 2016). The same holds true for all categories related to family and therefore marriage.…”

“…Some scholars working on migration or ethnic and racial relations have become increasingly reflexive in how they frame their object of study. These scholars point in particular to the need for researchers not to take states' categories for granted; to constantly reflect on the constructed character of these categories, which sustain given policies; and not to contribute to the reproduction of those categories themselves (Favell 2007;Bakewell 2008;Dahinden 2016;Hui 2016;Horwath, Amelina, and Peters 2017;Korteweg 2017;Schinkel 2018). Dahinden (2016), for instance, argues that migration and integration studies could only emerge in a context where states were developing a strong migration apparatus and a corresponding discourse to normalise migration-related differences.…”

Marriages that involve the migration of at least one of the spouses challenge two intersecting facets of the politics of belonging: the making of the 'good and legitimate citizens' and the 'acceptable family'. In Europe, cross-border marriages have been the target of increasing state controls, an issue of public concern and the object of scholarly research. The study of cross-border marriages and the ways these marriages are framed is inevitably affected by states' concerns and priorities. There is a need for a reflexive assessment of how the categories employed by state institutions and agents have impacted the study of cross-border marriages. The introduction to this Special Issue analyses what is at stake in the regulation of cross-border marriages and how European states use particular categories (e.g. 'sham', 'forced' and 'mixed' marriages) to differentiate between acceptable and nonacceptable marriages. When researchers use these categories unreflexively, they risk reproducing nation-centred epistemologies and reinforcing state-informed hierarchies and forms of exclusion. We suggest ways to avoid these pitfalls: differentiating between categories of analysis and categories of practice, adopting methodologies that do not mirror nation-states' logic and engaging with general social theory outside migration studies. The empirical contributions of the Special Issue offer new insights into a timely topic.

“…For this to occur a decoupling from models of deficiency and deficit and instead a policy approach grounded in ideologies of human potential and social justice. Such critical and transformative pedagogies find expression in the work of Freire (1996); Giroux (2011Giroux ( ), hooks (1994, Kincheloe and Steinberg (2008) amongst others.…”

Abyssal lines and cartographies of exclusion in migration and education: towards a reimagining

Educational institutions across the Western world, from schools through to universities are increasingly being drawn into highly ideological spaces of immigration control, integration and securitisation. This paper outlines the complex contours of this 'education-migration nexus' and contributes to the critique of the way that education is becoming yoked to different political and social agendas. It also seeks to offer an analysis of the way in which the experiences, knowledges and practices of those from non-western contexts become disqualified and rendered non-existent.Drawing on the work of Boaventura de Sousa Santos I develop a postcolonial analysis which exposes the partial and distorted framing of migration, migrants and integration, a framing which gives rise to the current highly restrictive role of education. The paper concludes with a reimagined conceptualisation and suggests a draft agenda for education and migration studies. This calls for a more dynamic understanding of education which is open and flexible, and prepared to enter into dialogue between different knowledges and practices, rather than seeking only to assimilate and construct learners according to some pre-determined image.

Shaping Priority Services for UK Victims of Honour‐Based Violence/Abuse, Forced Marriage, and Female Genital Mutilation

Victims of honour‐based violence/abuse (HBV/A), forced marriage (FM), and female genital mutilation (FGM) are now defined as ‘priority groups’ in the UK's Code of Practice for Victims of Crime (commonly known as the Victims’ Code of Practice or VCOP). These groups encompass: those who are affected by the most serious forms of crime; those persistently targeted by crime; those vulnerable by age or physical or mental health; and those classified as intimidated victims. The Code recommends that these victims receive a ‘priority service’ that includes rapid needs assessment and enhanced support. This article draws upon research commissioned by a county police force in southern England which wanted to develop its provision for ‘priority service’ victims. It analyses data gathered from interviews with victims and multi‐agency practitioners and explores four dimensions of victim and practitioner experience: recording and locating victims; initiating a case; modes of protecting victims; and closing a case. It also discusses future directions and challenges for priority victim work in England and elsewhere, and identifies the many challenges experienced by practitioners working to support the victims of HBV/A, FM, and FGM. It argues that the voices of both victims and practitioners must be considered in the co‐creation of future priority services in this field.
