Potrzeba i chęć zmiany motywuje decydentów i praktyków w Wielkiej Brytanii do podejmowania zdecydowanych działań integracyjnych. Kraj ten nigdy nie wypracował własnej oryginalnej polityki w tej dziedzinie. W 2004 roku podjęto pierwsze kroki wraz z publikacją Wskaźników Integracji, ale dopiero w ostatnich latach zintensyfikowano prace nad zarządzaniem integracją. Istnieje wyraźne odejście od skupiania się na poszczególnych aspektach integracji na rzecz wdrażania systemu zarządzania integracją w szerszym kontekście. Znajduje to odzwierciedlenie w publikacji Ramowych wskaźników Ministerstwa Spraw Wewnętrznych dla integracji (2019). Dokument ten bazuje na wersji z 2004 roku, ale przedstawia ją …
Staging the ‘devoted’ Mr Amanjit Singh in Upstairs, Downstairs (BBC1, 2010-2012)
2017
Si l’on a récemment assisté à la multiplication de séries britanniques (re)mettant en scène la cohabitation entre maîtres et domestiques dans des productions en costumes revenant sur les premières décennies du XXème siècle au Royaume Uni (Downtown Abbey, The Forsyte Saga), Downstairs, Upstairs est le seul exemple de série télévisée qui ait choisi d’inclure comme domestique vivant sous le même toit que ses maîtres un personnage né en Inde. La version 2010 de Downstairs, Upstairs reprend en fait une série diffusée dans les années 1970, et la fait redémarrer en 1936 (soit six ans après la fin de la série d’origine), pour s’intéresser aux circonstances qui déboucheront sur la déclaration de la …
Children's exploration of the concepts of home and belonging: Capturing views from five European countries.
2021
Understanding one's sense of belonging is a central part of identity formation and self-awareness; feeling safe somewhere, with specific people is identified as a basic human need. This paper explores the ideas of children from three age groups in five different European as they discussed the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’. Findings showed that the children's ideas could be organised into six interrelated aspects: Spatiality, Materiality, Multiplicity, Social Relations, Affect, and Dislocation. Whilst there were differences in the ways that the children conceptualised home across the classes, even the youngest children were able to describe their ideas using metaphors and abstract conce…
Monitoring a meat-free pledge with smartphones:An experimental study
2020
Pledges are a popular strategy to encourage meat reduction, though experimental studies of their efficacy are lacking. Three-hundred and twenty-five participants from three different countries (UK, Germany, Australia) were randomly assigned to pledge 28 days meat-free or not, and their behavior was tracked via smartphones. Participants answered daily surveys regarding their eating behavior, meat cravings, and shared photos of their meals. Baseline data was collected prior to the pledge, after the 28 days, and one-month post-intervention. Participants assigned to the pledge condition ate less meat across the 28 days, compared to control participants. Meat reductions, observed at outtake, did…

2017
Tutkielma selvittää Iso-Britannian ja Saksan poliittisten järjestelmien arvioimista ja mielikuvien luomista pilakuvissa 1900-luvun alun poliittisesti epävakaissa oloissa. Pilakuvien kautta piirtäjät toivat ilmi näkemyksiä ajan puolueista ja poliitikoista, näin vahvistaen olemassa olevia näkemyksiä, luoden uusia mielikuvia ja esittäen kritiikkiä. Tutkimuskohteina ovat valtion monarkkia, hallitusta ja poliittisia puolueita käsittelevät pilakuvat. Käyttämällä vertailevaa kuva-analyysiä, selvitetään minkälaisia käsityksiä valtioiden porvaristolle esitetään heidän poliittisista järjestelmistään ja järjestelmän sisäisten instituutioiden keskinäisestä toiminnasta. Molemmissa valtioissa monarkia, h…
Like ships passing in the night? Nonstandard work schedules and spousal satisfaction in Finland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom
2020
This study examined the associations of work schedules and spousal satisfaction among Finnish (n = 347), Dutch (n = 304) and British (n = 337) parents. In addition to comparing parents with nonstandard schedule with parents in regular day work, the study examined separately the roles played in spousal satisfaction of morning, evening, night and weekend work and other working time-related variables (working hours, changes in and influence over one’s work schedules and spouse’s work schedule). The three-country data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a multigroup procedure in Mplus. Little evidence for negative associations of work schedules and related factors with spousal…
Of Walls and Fences: Brexit and the History of Cross-Border Migration
2019
Champions of Brexit have employed a large arsenal of arguments to boost their case for a Britain better off on its own, freed from its current European entanglements. All kinds of supposed ills have been linked to the country’s EU membership in British public debates over the years, ranging from petty bureaucratic absurdities, such as directives regarding crooked bananas, to heavy-handed rulings on higher matters of domestic and foreign policy. Lamentations about continental meddling have been accompanied by grand, nostalgic visions of an unfettered future Great Britain, ready to return to its proper, independent role on the global stage once it manages to cast off the shackles imposed by B…
