“…Besides, migrants' legal protection would not be ensured until the existing asymmetric power relation between the employers and migrants remains. For these reasons, this non-assimilationist labour immigration policy is often termed as 'xenophobic' (Ullah, Lee, Hassan, & Nawaz, 2020).…”

This paper investigates return migration of Bangladeshi temporary labour migrant men in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a case study of Bangladeshi migrants, who are mostly occupied in low and semi-skilled labour-intensive markets in the Middle East and the Southeast Asian countries, this paper assesses the relational aspect between pandemic and return. It discusses the underlying reasons of pandemic induced return which is based on a fieldwork, conducted in 2021, with the Bangladeshi returnee migrants. It argues that migrant receiving states' exploitative policies–burgeoning labour market nationalisation and lack of social and legal protection mechanisms–are the overriding reasons of return, rather than the pandemic. Whilst the pandemic intensified these existing exclusionary policies, this paper depicts how the migrants conform to the policies of migrant receiving states through rigid visa regime, heightened labour market immobility, retrenchment, and wage theft, which resulted in return migration.

“…Other scholars observed that there are micro-level impacts of Covid-19 particularly in the change in tourists' behaviours and perceptions towards tourism (Garibaldi & Pozzi, 2020;Kock et al, 2020;Shamshiripour et al, 2020;Zheng et al, 2021). Changes of tourists' collective psyche centralises on the motive of disease avoidance when travelling, which lead to the increase xenophobia, ethnocentricism, fear of crowdedness (Kock et al, 2020;Ullah et al, 2020). The post-pandemic travel behaviours suggest that anxious future tourists would prefer to travel in groups, obtain travel insurance and choose familiar destinations, to provide "a feeling of security that lowers travel-related risk perceptions" (Kock et al, 2020, p. 11).…”

Bullying has been present in society and it has been defined as intentionally aggressive and abusive interpersonal behaviour, carried out repetitively by a group of people against a person who becomes the victim. This study is positioned in a phenomenological paradigm to analyse school bullying. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 students in their seventh year of secondary education at a private university in Lima, Peru. This study aimed to identify the types of school bullying perceived by students in the campaign 'Voces contra el bullying (Voices against bullying)'. The results of the study indicate that the participants were able to identify the types of bullying depicted in the spot, including the physical, verbal and psychological bullying, which were conveyed through the lyrics of the song and the scenes. The findings indicate that storytelling is important in social campaigns to produce awareness among the audience. Finally, the study defined the promoters of school bullying and its types in Peruvian society.
