“…[3] This created a complex mix of cultures and social and legal statuses that had a deep and diversified impact on politics, in terms of the inclusion of Roma people in the society. [4] In fact, some Roma nationals are Italian citizens (whose ancestries go back several generations or centuries) and are used to living in regular houses and enjoying the same rights and access to healthcare as non-Roma Italians. Their social and health-related conditions cannot be compared to stateless Roma and foreign-born Roma people, or to those Roma nationals who have migrated in the last 30 years and who are, sometimes, still undocumented and often found to be living in precarious settlements known as "Roma camps.…”

Public health authorities and healthcare providers are often unable to overcome their rigid bureaucratic limits and offer low-threshold health services to vulnerable ethnic minorities, such as the Roma communities. Roma people frequently face institutional, juridical, social, economic, and cultural obstacles in the course of their access to appropriate, effective, and high-quality healthcare. In Italy, Roma people experience difficulties such as cultural constraints and discrimination while accessing health services. For this reason, in recent years, public healthcare institutions have been experimenting with innovative approaches aimed at overcoming inequalities and discriminations associated with the access to health care through cooperation between private and public health and the active involvement of the Roma communities. The implementation of low-threshold services have specific requirements such as; a strong commitment toward public health at the national, regional, and local levels; joint local networks of well-trained healthcare professionals, non-medical personnel, and civil society organizations; tailor-made projects addressing Roma with respect to the public health facilities; monitoring the access to the healthcare facilities of Roma; promoting direct interaction between healthcare providers and Roma; cultural mediation; actively involving Roma communities in overcoming the mistrust of and prejudice toward healthcare providers and medical facilities; promoting a healthy lifestyle in Roma households by fostering routine screenings, immunization, and medical appointments and respecting medical pharmacological therapies. To improve the Roma communities' health in Italy, we have proposed a culturally-oriented model that offers a methodological approach beyond prejudice to improve access to healthcare.

“…Unemployment and poverty are further consequences, and lead Romanian Roma to often immigrate to richer countries. Both in their home country and abroad, Roma are frequently subjected to ethnicitybased stigma and social exclusion (Clough Marinaro & Sigona, 2011;Ljujic et al, 2012).…”

Situated Learning in Young Romanian Roma Successful Learning Biographies

European Roma are often associated with social problems and conflicts due to poverty and low formal education. Nevertheless, Roma communities traditionally develop expertise in ethnically specific domains, probably by alternative, informal ways, such as situated learning in communities of practice. Although predictable, empirical evidence of Romani situated learning practice and its socio-cognitive effects is scarce. This qualitative study with quantitative components outlines knowledge domains, social contexts, and the initiation and evolution of situated learning, along with their occurring frequencies, in eighteen biographies of young Romanian Roma students, from which four cases are presented in detail. The study suggests that situated learning is omnipresent in successful Roma learning biographies, and has positive, cognitive and social effects, such as expertise and social skills, which may prevent social exclusion and stigma. The conclusions are relevant for educational research, and for educators and policy makers involved in social work with Roma ethnics.

“…In doing so, I will make an argument about the frustrations and limitations of rights litigation that I believe have relevance beyond the specific and somewhat idiosyncratic case of the Sorgenfri camp. Indeed, the tendency of urban law to deflect or negate rights-based claims seems to me a crucuially important factor to consider for those involved in Roma rights advocacy, especially given that -as Pusca (2010) so aptly puts it -'the Roma problem' across Europe is frequently treated as a 'space problem' (see also Aradau, 2015;Clough Marinaro & Sigona, 2011;Picker, 2017).…”

“…Notwithstanding these safeguards, EU member states have used securityrelated mechanisms to expel mobile Roma, often on the basis of 'minor illegalisms' (Aradau, 2015;Aradau et al, 2013;van Baar, 2015b;van Baar, Ivasiuc, & Kreide, 2019). Two of the more well-known cases are the controversial mass expulsions of Roma EU citizens from France in the summer of 2010 (Gehring, 2013;O'Nions, 2011;Parker, 2012;Parker & Toke, 2013) and the Italian security measures implemented in response to the so-called 'nomad emergency' declared by then-president Silvio Berlusconi in 2008(Clough Marinaro & Sigona, 2011Hepworth, 2012). In 2010, the Swedish border police also detained and unlawfully expelled between 60 and 100 beggars and street buskers from Bulgaria and Romania for 'begging and loitering' (Persson, 2010; see also Värjö, 2011).…”

Free to Move Along: On the Urbanisation of Cross-border Mobility Controls - A Case of Roma 'EU migrants' in Malmö, Sweden

This thesis traces the local government response to the presence of impoverished and street-homeless so-called vulnerable EU-citizens in Malmö (Sweden's third largest city) between the years 2014-2016, and develops an analysis about how bordering takes place in cities. "Vulnerable EU-citizens" is an established term in the Swedish context, used by the authorities to refer to citizens of other EU Member States who are staying in Sweden without a right of residence and in situations of extreme poverty and marginality. A majority of those whom are categorised as "vulnerable EU-citizens" are Roma from Bulgaria or Romania. Starting from the observation that "vulnerable EU-citizens" have been pervasively problematised as unwanted migrants, the thesis asks how the municipal-and local authorities in Malmö act to discourage and otherwise manage their mobilities by controlling their conditions of stay. In doing so, it seeks to elaborate on theories about intra-EU bordering practices, and to elucidate some of the mechanisms, effects and implications of urban mobility control practices. My most sincere gratitude also goes to the scholars who so generously agreed to be discussants and readers at my (many!
