In recent years, social work with migrants and ethnic minorities has developed as a field of research and practice. Further, it is recognised in the literature that the increased processes of human mobility in today’s societies have driven a growing focus on inclusive cities, especially in larger urban areas where ethnic diversity and cultural heterogeneity can be found alongside newly arrived mig

Such technologies may carry major risks for developing countries that are often especially vulnerable to, and lack adaptive capacity to deal with, the impacts of such new technologies. In this situation, one would expect that developing countries—especially the least developed cou

Modernity is reflected in various sectors, with education being one of the most prominent. New expectations have emerged, and a ‘juridification’ of schooling has increased the pressure on teachers by assigning them new responsibilities that were traditionally managed by other authorities. Despite a legislative shift in the Swedish Educational Act in 2010, there remains a lack of clarity regarding

Research on video games and sustainability has predominantly focused on game design — examining how serious games, gamification, and narrative design can transmit ecological knowledge or shape sustainability-related behaviour.
