About event
The March session will continue the discussion of the January session, focusing on the role of front line professionals in the process of immigrant integration in Portugal.

Speaker:
Natalia Curci. IGOT Doctoral student, Ulisboa

Elisa Alves. AIMA - Agency for integration, migrations and asylum
Abstract:
This presentation aims to reflect on how the daily practices of professionals who work on the front line are intertwined with the integration processes of immigrant people. The centrality of professionals is due to consider that throughout the integration process, immigrants are involved in various bureaucratic contacts mediated by them. The governance of migrations in Portugal is designed so that both specialized services professionals, such as local migrant integration support centers (CLAIM), and those of other public institutions, share responsibility for care, guidance and reception. In this respect, both contexts will be covered. It is intended to identify points of meeting/discomfort of interactions between immigrants and professionals, unveiling guiding factors and effects of these interactions, since by discretionary power they can, in some respect, both foster equality of opportunities and inequality. Adopting the site as a strategic scale, the research is developed in two socio -spatial contexts, an urban area (Lisbon) and a rural area (Ferreira do Alentejo). Some preliminary results of this research on the ongoing doctorate will be presented.
