My research is focused on the institutional capacity to provide healthcare and psychosocial support to unaccompanied minors and refugee children in Europe, particularly those migrating from the Middle East. I examine the interplay between state and non-state providers in the delivery of these critical services by focusing on discursive practices and processes of decision-making, planning, transparency and accountability, and engagement with various stakeholders.
