year = {2023},
note = {The political use of mass accommodation for governing asylum seekers
is growing in frequency, despite its documented disadvantages for
asylum seekers’ wellbeing and protection. So long as mass
accommodation of asylum seekers is used by states, it is necessary to
ask how violence is handled and prevented in these institutions. Using
interview data from 80 residents and employees in two German
accommodation centres, our findings illustrate the central role of
low-level employees and residents in protection against violence. We
analyse the interlinked strategies that both of these populations
employ, highlighting residents’ agency and the previously overlooked
cosmopolitan imaginations of low-level employees. We conclude the
paper by contextualising our findings and recommending future actions.},
