Register on Zoom here.
This talk is by Josephine T. V. Greenbrook, University of Gothenburg
This talk will present the underpinnings for an ongoing longitudinal study being conducted in Sweden. This interdisciplinary project aims to untangle the complexities involved in using medicine as a conduit for migration control policy, when regulating physicians’ obligations to report undocumented migrants seeking care. The study takes a broadened ethnographic approach, and is based on constructivist qualitative interviews conducted in various contexts within the healthcare system and medical education, participant observations conducted in medical humanitarianism and in civil society contexts engaged in the issue of mandatory reporting, and media analyses of ongoing discourses and debates at a societal level in the public sphere. The study is a collaboration between the University of Gothenburg and the University of Edinburgh, and is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the University of Edinburgh.
