Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Social Media as a Tool for Future-Making: The Cases of Two Entrepreneurs in Kakuma Refugee Camp(Berghahn Journals, 2026-03-01) Böhme, ClaudiaIn this article I will look at the relationship between offline suffering and online happiness through the example of two young entrepreneurs living in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya who strongly leverage social media for their business. From a basic communication device, the smartphone has become the door to a world of seemingly glamorous self-representation and a tool for future-making. I trace the young professionals’ motivations and inspirations for their work, and how they make a ‘brand’ in efforts to find a way of being self-reliant. In showcasing what they want and aim to be, these entrepreneurs actively engage in creating a self-image that is ‘beyond suffering’, one that can widen the gap and exemplify the ambiguous relationship between their real-world uncertainties and online images of success.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Código de ética : Reflexiones críticas sobre la ética en investigación en situaciones de migración forzada(International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM), 2018-11-05) Clark-Kazak, ChristinaLa Asociación Internacional para el Estudio de la Migración Forzada propone un Código de Ética dedicado a la investigación con personas en situaciones de migración forzada. Al igual que las metodologías de investigación indígena incorporan una noción de ética amplia, comprometida y crítica en la cual se reconoce las diferenciaciones de poder y la voluntad de los participantes dado las historias de explotación en contexto de investigación, este documento establece cinco principios que son puntos de partida para una investigación respetuosa. La intención es reflejar la amplia diversidad de nuestros miembros, a la vez quienes están involucrados en la recopilación de información (ya sea en un entorno académico o comunitario) y aquellos a quienes se les solicita participar en la investigación. Dicho esto, reconocemos que este no es un documento completo ni exhaustivo, sino más bien un punto de partida para involucrarse de forma activa y crítica con cuestiones éticas.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Code d’éthique : Réflexions critiques sur l’éthique de la recherche dans les situations de migration forcée(International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM), 2018-11-05) Clark-Kazak, ChristinaL'Association internationale pour l’étude des migrations forcées (AIEMF) propose le présent code d’éthique pour la recherche impliquant des personnes en situation de migration forcée. De la même façon que les méthodologies de recherche avec les Autochtones intègrent une notion d’éthique large, engagée et critique qui reconnaît les différences de pouvoir et l’autonomie décisionnelle des participants dans le cadre des recherches sur l’exploitation, ce document énonce des principes pouvant servir de points de départ pour une recherche qui se veut respectueuse. Il vise à refléter la grande diversité de nos membres, y compris ceux qui participent à la collecte d’informations — que ce soit dans un cadre universitaire ou communautaire — ainsi que ceux qui sont invités à prendre part à des recherches. Cela étant dit, nous sommes conscients qu’il ne s’agit pas d’un document complet ni exhaustif, mais plutôt d’un point de départ pour un engagement actif et critique sur les questions éthiques.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Code of ethics: Critical reflections on research ethics in situations of forced migration(International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM), 2018-11-05) Clark-Kazak, ChristinaThe International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) hereby proposes this code of ethics for research with people in situations of forced migration. Similarly to how Indigenous research methodologies incorporate a broad, engaged and critical notion of ethics that recognizes power differentiations and the agency of the participants within exploitive research histories, this document sets forth principles that are starting points for respectful research. It is intended to reflect the broad diversity of our membership, including those involved in gathering information – whether in an academic or community setting – as well as those who are asked to take part in research. That being said, we acknowledge that this is not a comprehensive nor exhaustive document, but rather a starting point for active, critical engagement with ethical issues.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Double differential ionization cross sections of positron impact on argon(IOP Publishing, 2012-11-05) Campeanu, Radu I.; Alam, M.The ionization of the 3p orbitals of argon by 100 eV incident positrons is studied with the DWBA approximation.
