A shifting yet grounded transnational social field: Interplays of displacement and emplacement in African migrant trajectories across Central America
2021
In this article, we draw on the volatile complexity of African migrant trajectories in Central America to broaden the scope of transnational scholarship. These trajectories are characterised by mobilities as well as immobilities, taking shape in particular local contexts. By focusing on the interplays between displacement and emplacement that are part of these trajectories, we aim to increase our understanding of the extent to which migrants still ‘on the move’ experience both temporal embeddedness and cross-border connectedness, thereby acknowledging and unravelling transnational lives as they ‘touch the ground’ en route. To do so, we build on long-standing scholarly commitments in Central…
Willingness to Adopt Biochar in Agriculture: The Producer’s Perspective
2017
Most research on biochar has focused either on the mechanistic or the biophysical aspects, and there has been relatively little research into the social applicability and acceptance of biochar as a soil enhancer in agriculture. However, whether to adopt biochar in their practice is ultimately the farmers’ decision, and their willingness to do so is crucial. Here, we show the producer’s perspective on adopting biochar, using Polish farmers as a case study. Poland is an interesting case study because biochar has only recently attracted the attention of researchers, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders there. We performed standardized, semi-structured interviews with 161 Polish farmers to eva…
La investigación en Ciencias Laborales como una nueva dimensión del alumnado universitario. Una experiencia innovadora
2016
Profesorado del Grado de Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la Universitat de València, se planteó en el curso 2013-2014, y dado que la titulación había pasado de Diplomatura a Grado, la necesidad de fomentar entre el alumnado la orientación investigadora, opción hasta dicho momento difícil de desarrollar. Por eso, a través del desarrollo del proyecto de innovación en dicho curso «Medios para la difusión de resultados de investigaciones en Ciencias Laborales», se creó una web (http://inveslab.blogs.uv.es/) en la que se recogieron los resultados obtenidos del mismo, un repositorio con los medios existentes para la difusión de los resultados de investigaciones en Ciencias Laborales. T…
Metsästyksen kentän logiikka ja kulttuurinen kestävyys
2017
Metsästyskulttuuri on muutoksessa maaseudun rakenteellisen murroksen myötä. Muutos sisältää jännitteitä, jotka liittyvät yhtäältä metsästyskulttuurin säilyttämiseen ja toisaalta uusien toimijoiden ja käytäntöjen omaksumiseen paikallisyhteisöissä. Metsästysseurat ovat avainroolissa uusien metsästäjien rekrytoinnissa. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan metsästysseurojen jäseneksi ottoa ja ulossulkemisen logiikkaa Pierre Bourdieun kenttäteorian avulla. Metsästäjien haastattelut valottavat metsästysseurojen paikallisia käytäntöjä. Metsästysseuran jäsenyyden saaminen perustuu sosiaaliseen vaihtoon, joka noudattaa sosiaalisen tunnistamisen ja arvonannon logiikkaa. Jäsenyys edellyttää pääomia, joiden arvo…
The Co-Design of a Counter-Narrative Social Campaign: Second Generation Youths Against Radicalization
2021
This paper deals with the OLTRE project (ISF - DG Migration and Home Affairs, EU) funded for preventing the radicalization of the second-generation of migrants in Italy. This essay aims to study the production of an online communication campaign co-designed by second-generation youths. The four Universities engaged in the project, in order to collect the issues for the campaign made an in-depth sociological research and an interdisciplinary social network analysis. We will present the results of the non-standard field research. Starting from the different dimensions of the risk of radicalization proposed by the kaleidoscopic overview of risk factors (Sieckelinck and Gielen 2018: 5; Ranstorp…
