Summary: By analyzing reporting on Ukrainian women in two major German news outlets and using the fictional film Mary Poppins as a lens, this study provides a unique understanding of German discourse around displaced Ukrainians. The findings demonstrate how fictional stories can critically interrogate and shed light on real-world political responses towards refugees. This research contributes to challenging commonly accepted knowledge about displaced people in public discourse and policy-making.

Summary: This study examines the framing and tone toward Black fathers in Instagram memes in 2022 using Critical Race Theory and Framing Theory. The findings suggest that social media, particularly Instagram, provides a platform for individuals to share positive messages about Black fathers and challenge traditional racist narratives. These messages of hope often reference the Black Lives Matter movement and aim to highlight the value of Black men in the lives of children and families. The study emphasizes the significant role of social media in shifting narratives about Black fathers.

Summary: This article explores the trend of integrating migration control and integration requirements in contemporary civic integration policies by analyzing Swedish immigration policies from a governmentality perspective. The analysis reveals that the concepts of 'incentives' and 'conduct' are key to understanding these policies, where the permanent residence permit is seen as part of a set of technologies aimed at governing non-citizens' behavior and work.

Summary: A conference was held at the European Humanities University in Vilnius, Lithuania in late September 2023, bringing together scholars and practitioners from countries affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The conference aimed to re-evaluate the social structures and content of knowledge production and dissemination in the region formerly categorized as the post-Soviet region, as well as discuss possibilities for future cooperation in a de-centred and horizontal manner, exploring new epistemologies that derive from rediscovering themselves and communicating their emergent identities outwards.

Summary: Gender roles have become a symbol of cultural division between Western Europe and its immigrant population. The extent to which immigrants and their children from gender-conservative backgrounds adopt egalitarian attitudes is influenced by the institutional support for gender equality and the cultural origins. Religion, particularly among Muslims, also plays a role in preserving conservative attitudes. Immigrant-origin youth largely adapt their perspectives to the reception context, with even the most conservative groups in Scandinavia having more gender-egalitarian beliefs than immigrants and natives in continental Europe.

Summary: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the traditional owners of Australia, and their traditional lands are closely connected to their languages, cultural practices, and spiritual being. As custodians of the land, they have utilized their traditional Indigenous knowledge, reflecting a sustainable mindset, to care for the environment. This article explores how the Indigenous knowledge held by local Indigenous communities can be combined with non-Indigenous knowledge to address environmental threats and protect animal species and their habitats.

Summary: Poland and the Czech Republic changed their approach towards refugees during the 2022 Russian invasion, regarding assistance to Ukrainian refugees as a national task. Our analysis of media titles found narratives strengthening the social construction of Ukrainian refugees as deserving of assistance. Therefore, we suggest expanding the CARIN concept to CARIN+A, emphasizing the role of assistance in control, attitude, reciprocity, identity, and need. Additionally, we propose the hypothesis of a constructed rationality of assistance, as aiding the Ukrainians allowed Poles and Czechs to rationalize their negative attitude towards other refugees.

Summary: This paper argues for the adoption of systemic thinking in analyzing the intersections and interdependencies between different social systems in modern society. By analyzing governance frameworks for human mobility and disaster risk at international and national levels, the paper proposes an integrated governance approach. Although progress has been made in integrating the frameworks, some issues still need to be addressed.

Summary: The practice of credit scoring is widespread in today's economy, extending beyond its original purpose in lending decisions. This article develops a critical framework that views credit scoring as a carceral practice and technology, expanding anti-black discipline and punishment. The authors argue that credit scoring is unable to objectively assess risk and that claims of objectivity legitimize an exploitative system that controls people's access to survival resources. Furthermore, credit scoring extends the reach of consumerism and racial capitalism's disciplinary and punitive measures. The article reviews existing research literature on credit scoring, highlighting its embedded anti-black racism, and concludes with a call to abolish the practice and imagine new abolitionist alternatives for a safe and dignified life.

Summary: This paper explores the resistance to the Union of Brest in the Ukrainian and Belarusian lands, and poses hypothetical scenarios of the Union's chances 30 years earlier and 30 years later. It emphasizes the importance of understanding religious terminology within the context of the period and the increasing attention to Catholicism and Orthodoxy as confessions. The violent uprising and increased political intervention in religious affairs added to the challenges faced by the attempts at union.

Summary: Guided by social identity and intergroup theory, this study examined how two aspects of ethnic-racial identity (felt typicality and ingroup ties) may buffer the negative effects of outgroup discrimination and ingroup marginalization on self-esteem. The findings revealed that ingroup marginalization had a stronger impact on self-esteem than outgroup discrimination. Additionally, perceived ethnic-racial typicality moderated the association between ingroup marginalization and self-esteem.
