Neighborhood characteristics and violence behind closed doors: The spatial overlap of child maltreatment and intimate partner violence
2018
In this study, we analyze first whether there is a common spatial distribution of child maltreatment (CM) and intimate partner violence (IPV), and second, whether the risks of CM and IPV are influenced by the same neighborhood characteristics, and if these risks spatially overlap. To this end we used geocoded data of CM referrals (N = 588) and IPV incidents (N = 1450) in the city of Valencia (Spain). As neighborhood proxies, we used 552 census block groups. Neighborhood characteristics analyzed at the aggregated level (census block groups) were: Neighborhood concentrated disadvantage (neighborhood economic status, neighborhood education level, and policing activity), immigrant concentration…
Organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech : a qualitative study of young professional intra-urban migrant workers in Shanghai
2014
Chinese economy reform triggered the largest domestic labor migration in human history. These 150 million migrant workers are treated as second-rate citizens in urban cities because of the discriminatory household registration system: Hukou. Previous studies have predominantly focused on blue-collar migrants while the professional workers, the potential permanent city dwellers, received little attention. This study attempts to fill this gap by exploring the perception of workplace freedom and preference of dissent strategy among professional migrant workers in Shanghai. Eight young and well-educated migrants participated in this study through semi-structured online interviews. This study no…
Between Solid America and Fragile Chinatown in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior
2021
The article traces mixed affiliations of the narrator of Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior (1976), permanently split between the world of Chinatown and broader American society outside Chinatown, both places crucial for the narrator in the on-going process of subjectivity construction. While both of these worlds constantly interpellate her, each of them entails a fair measure of hindrance and empowerment. The article undermines the criticism leveled at Kingston’s The Woman Warrior by a section of the Chinese American community represented primarily by Frank Chin. Chin accused Kingston of pandering to white tastes and white readers’ expectations of Chinese American authors. That, acco…
Effects of seniority, gender and geography on the bibliometric output and collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) grant recipients.
2019
Assessing the success and performance of researchers is a difficult task, as their grant output is influenced by a series of factors, including seniority, gender and geographical location of their host institution. In order to assess the effects of these factors, we analysed the publication and citation outputs, using Scopus and Web of Science, and the collaboration networks of European Research Council (ERC) starting (junior) and advanced (senior) grantees. For this study, we used a cohort of 355 grantees from the Life Sciences domain of years 2007-09. While senior grantees had overall greater publication output, junior grantees had a significantly greater pre-post grant award increase in …
Cittadinizzazione e policy migratorie nella Sicilia occidentale : Progettare servizi innovativi rafforzando le Pubbliche Amministrazioni in attuazion…
2021
L’accesso ai servizi della pubblica amministrazione è spesso, per la popolazione migrante, un cercare la chiave giusta fra un numero spropositato di chiavistelli. Evidenziare come l’inserimento di alcuni servizi innovativi, fra i quali gli sportelli Mi.Main (Migration Mainstreaming) progettati e implementati da giovani laureati all’interno degli uffici della P.A., abbia di fatto favorito processi di “cittadinizzazione”, è stato lo scopo di questo volume. Preliminari ad ogni processo di inclusione sono infatti gli “atti di cittadinanza” che attraversano e ancorano l’universalità dei diritti umani al riconoscimento dei bisogni e delle priorità della persona. Questo volume, descrive come due t…
Rethinking Civil Society in Development: Scales and Situated Hegemonies
2016
Ethnic residential segregation is often explained with the claim that ‘immigrants don’t want to integrate—they prefer to stick together with co-ethnics’. By contrast, mixed neighbourhoods are seen as crucial for achieving social cohesion. In line with spatial assimilation theory there is a normative assumption that people interact with those living nearby. From interviews on neighbourhood qualities and locations valued by Oslo residents of Turkish, Somali and Polish backgrounds, we raise questions about the validity of two assumptions: that most immigrants want to live in the same neighbourhoods as co-ethnics; and that they want to live close to co-ethnics because they do not want to integr…
Corresponsabilità educativa nell’esperienza dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti: i vissuti dei docenti.
2021
Il presente contributo intende presentare una ricerca esplorativa sulle linee di intervento elaborate dai docenti dei Centri Provinciali per l’Istruzione degli Adulti (CPIA), in relazione all’attenzione che essi pongono alla costruzione di azioni coordinate e collaborative con le diverse figure di riferimento, tra cui quella dei tutori legali volontari, per favorire una corresponsabilità educativa che possa aiutare a rispondere in modo adeguato ai bisogni educativi dei minori migranti soli. L’idea di fondo della ricerca è di portare alla luce il ruolo delle scuole, intese come comunità educanti, nei percorsi delicati di affiancamento dei minori migranti non accompagnati in stretta collabora…

Performing transnational family with the affordances of mobile apps : a case study of Polish mothers living in Finland
2020
Affordances provided by digital technologies and mobile apps (WhatsApp, Skype, Messenger) help in maintaining familyhood. These mobile apps enable the creation of in-app family groups. They also afford image sharing, which is used for phatic purposes. Digital connectivity provides the illusions of togetherness and belonging, and allows for performing family in a transnational context (emotional transnationalism). However, it also generates the feelings of guilt through infrequent communication. In the auto-driven visual elicitation interviews, the study looks at family constellations and technologically mediated communication from the perspective of five Polish mothers living in Finland. Ap…
