| Title | Solidarity with Migrants and Refugees in Serbia: Gender Stereotypes and the Perception of Cultural Difference among NGO Workers |
| Summary | This thesis deals with the ways in which cultural and gender stereotyping and discursive creation of the images of refugee women and men from the Middle East/Africa affects attitudes of people who work in NGOs providing support to migrants in Serbia. I focus on the ways in which NGO workers navigate their sense of belonging to collective identities and "symbolic geographies," and how this affects their work and communication with migrants and refugees. The research is based on the interviews and participant observation conducted with the people who work with refugees, primarily those who had the refugee or activist experience during Yugoslav wars. |
