Impact of secu­ri­ti­za­tion of bor­ders for the health care of undoc­u­ment­ed migrants in Europe – insights from research on mater­ni­ty care in Norway

The increas­ing secu­ri­ti­za­tion of Euro­pean bor­ders is an issue of our time, and it touch­es on some fun­da­men­tal ques­tions about how we as soci­eties treat peo­ple try­ing to cross bor­ders. To under­stand the impact of secu­ri­ti­za­tion on health­care, we must under­stand the the­o­ry behind it, where it is enforced and what mea­sures are used. This talk will take you from the fall of the Iron Cur­tain to the estab­lish­ment of the Schen­gen agree­ment, through deten­tion cen­tres in Libya and over the Mediter­ranean, into mater­nal and child health cen­tres and mater­ni­ty wards in Norway.

Frode Eick is an asso­ciate pro­fes­sor at Lovisen­berg Dia­conal Uni­ver­si­ty Col­lege, Oslo, Nor­way. He has worked with issues con­cern­ing undoc­u­ment­ed migrants and des­ti­tute mobile EU cit­i­zens since 2009 when he was involved in estab­lish­ing the first health cen­tre pro­vid­ing pri­ma­ry care for undoc­u­ment­ed migrants in Nor­way. His PhD project sought to gain knowl­edge about the use of health ser­vices among preg­nant women with­out a res­i­dence per­mit in Nor­way, what mater­ni­ty care they receive, and the preg­nan­cy com­pli­ca­tions and out­comes they experience.

The fol­low­ing webi­nar will be held on June 16, 2025 at 15:00 (CET). Zeli­ha Öcek will explore the grow­ing threats to democ­ra­cy, human rights, and aca­d­e­m­ic free­dom in Türkiye, and how these devel­op­ments are linked to the EU’s pri­ori­ti­sa­tion of bor­der con­trol. The talk will also reflect on what it means for migrants to live in a coun­try posi­tioned as the EU’s migra­tion gatekeeper.

We would be hon­oured to wel­come you to our con­ver­sa­tions. Your insights will help deep­en our network’s col­lec­tive under­stand­ing of migra­tion and health.
