“…Refugee women of reproductive age bear a disproportionate share of suffering and hardship due to displacement, war, and conflict situations requiring additional attention to maintain their physical, social and psychological wellbeing. Health issues such as mental health, reproductive health, communicable and non-communicable diseases are a priority for health care services for this population ( Doocy et al, 2015 ; Hollander et al., 2016 ; Khawaja et al, 2017 ; Nelson-Peterman et al, 2015 ).…”

Background Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) for refugee women in reproductive age is highly affected by physical, political, psychosocial and environmental conditions in countries of asylum. HRQoL is enormously affected by the satisfaction of this vulnerable group with the physical, psychological, emotional and social care services provided in this critical time. Therefore, this study aimed toassess the HRQoL among Syrian refugee women of reproductive age living outside camps in Jordan. Methods A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with a convenience sample of 523 Syrian refugee women in the host communities in Jordan.Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was measured using the short-form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Results Significant negative correlations were found between SF-36 individual subscales score and the length of marriage, the number of children, parity and family income. The strongest correlations were between pain scale and length of marriage (r = − .21), and between Energy/Fatigue and ‘number of children’ (r = − .21). Conversely, antenatal care was positively correlated with physical, role emotional, pain, and general health. Physical functioning and general health were predicted significantly with less years of marriage, younger age at marriage, less violence and by higher family income. Conclusion This study suggests low HRQoL scores for women of reproductive age across all domains. Several factors such as years of marriage, age at marriage, the number of children, violence, antenatal care and family income affected the women’s general health. The provision of appropriate and accessible reproductive and maternal healthcare services in antenatal visits is critical for ensuring the immediate and long-term health and wellbeing of refugee women and their families.

“…The refugee parents, other important adults, and older siblings hold an immense responsibility in forced mobility situations to look after the small, vulnerable children and to cushion them from becoming (even more) traumatized in stressful and painful conditions (e.g. Khawaja et al 2017;Lewig, Arney, and Salveron 2010). This has been mirrored, for instance, in the discussions I have had with locals who were children during the Second World War in Sápmi (Koskinen-Koivisto and Seitsonen 2019; Seitsonen and Koskinen-Koivisto 2017b).…”

In this paper Idiscuss aset of photographs taken by my daughters with disposable cameras, to consider how they perceived an archaeological expedition to northernmost Sápmi (Finnish Lapland). My daughters' photographic documentation illustrates the views that children from southern Finland have on archaeological fieldwork in an extreme northern environment. Their photographs resemble partly the tourism promotional imagery and Instagram posts, which place emphasis on the impressive landscape, engaging activities, and the gear related to those activities. Based on these imageries, and my personal impressions, thegenius loci of this area for outsiders are largely defined by the mountainous scenery and midsummer snow, both unique to this region within Finland. My daughters' imagery conveys amixture of familiarity and alienation. There is an awe of facing the new and alien, immersive mountain landscape and the novelty of, e.g., ahelicopter ride to the study site in the middle of aroadless wilderness, and afascination in the familiar expedition activities together with trusted people which creates asense of at-homeness. The familiar actions carried out by familiar people appear to act as important means for placemaking and securing the being-in-theworld, which carries also wider importance beyond this case study.

“…Dialogicality problematizes the concept most frequently used for understanding change or evolution of practices after migration: acculturation (see, e.g., Khawaja et al, 2017; Kiang et al, 2017). The “acculturation strategies” of assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization were introduced by Berry (1997), and the theory linked to these concepts has travelled to many fields.…”

A sociocultural framework illustrating Bakhtin’s theory of dialogicality informed this article’s interpretation of interviews with refugees discussing their parenting in exile. Multivoicedness is used as a tool for analysing how refugee parents talk about their evolving parenting practices; interview sequences from the parents of two families are presented. The culturally complex context of refugee parenting is understood in terms of transnational contact zones. Bakhtin’s concept of ideological becoming is used to understand how parenting evolves, making visible the parents’ critical assessment of unfamiliar practices, selective appropriation of certain practices, and agentic innovation of their own practices. The analysis adds relevant perspectives on professionals’ contact with refugee parents and may contribute to more culturally sensitive and less repressive treatment of parents while challenging facile conceptions of acculturation.
