B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 3758181The article results from international research, which took place in eight countries of the world, considering various consequences of de facto or de jure statelessness. The existence of stateless populations challenges some of the central tenets of international law and human rights discourse.

D.06 Final report on a foreign/international project
COBISS.SI-ID: 3615589The achievement had important socio-economic effects for four reasons: first, the author of the paper was also co-organizer of the international conference where it was presented; second, the conference was attended by professors and researchers from ex-Yugoslav countries who are experts in the field, as well as researchers from Austria and UK; third, the conference was interdisciplinary and trans-institutional - in addition to researchers at Faculty of Social Work, the presenters were relevant experts from Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Art (SAZU), Peace Institute and Institute for Ethic Studies, as well as two other social sciences faculties. One of the outcomes of the conference was publication of relevant scientific papers from the conference in the indexed international journal Two Homelands (SAZU) in the autumn 2011. The conference co-organizer and author presented a paper focused on the mental health of members of ethnic minorities in current migration flows. The author presented an interesting ambivalence: today's migrant workers are pathologised, but simultaneously, they are migrant care workers - the ones doing care work for health and mental health of populations in economically developed world. The author analyses a few ethnographic examples of this paradox and advocated for an anti-discriminatory orientation in this field.
