No full textThis paper analyses the current offer of contemporary social theory in sociology programmes at the University of Southampton and proposes pathways for innovation. Drawing on module evaluation feedback (3 academic years), group interviews with students (n=12) and interviews with staff (n=3), this research sheds light onto the expectations of studying social theory, evaluations of teaching and learning activities, and avenues for higher alignment. The data analysed suggests that students experience a lack of connection between studying social theory and its applicability, and unawareness of the need for theoretically informed empirical skills. Interviewed members of staff highlight the need for a stronger alignment of assessment methods in the module. These complementing findings lead to proposed changes to the social theory offer by which we seek (i) higher complementarity between core social theory modules, (ii) stronger alignment of assessment methods, (iii) higher content of applied social theory in both teaching and assessment methods
Inmigrantes extranjeros y retornados en Galicia: la construcción del puente transnacional
No full textEmigration has marked both the history and socioeconomic development of Galicia. Today however, ithas undergone a series of changes in terms of its intensity, direction and “colour”. The presence of foreig ners and the considerable numbers of first, second and third generation Galicians who opt to return to theregion from America and Europe have turned Galicia into an object of study of the immigration phenomenon.This article is divided into various sections. In the first of these sections, secondary sources (theMunicipal Population Census, Population and Housing Censuses, Active Workforce Surveys, etc.) areused to provide a socio-demographic analysis of the immigrant population in Galicia, in accordance witha range of variables including gender, age, country of origin and nationality, as well as labour and residentialinsertion. The second section describes the typology of immigration in Galicia based on migrants’origin and nationality (returnees, dependent relatives of Galician emigrant returnees, foreign immigrantswith no connections or ties with Galicia, autonomous descendents of Galician emigrants and transbordermigrants). The third section describes the migratory projects of each type of migrant defined, as well astheir strategies for labour and social incorporation. The final section analyses the migratory policy adoptedby the Galician Autonomous Regio
“Not helping out”: classed strategies of the (non) contribution of children in immigrant family businesses
No full textThis article analyses the role of immigrant entrepreneurs’ class positions in understanding the participation of children in business activities. Immigrant entrepreneurship scholarship has highlighted how the participation of children depends on relations of reciprocity as well as on the lack of opportunities in paid employment. I argue that the (non) contribution of children has to do with the social mobility strategies that migrant families put in place. Drawing on the narratives of fifty-five Latin American entrepreneurs and family members in Spain, I explain (i) the role of the small firm in trajectories of social mobility, (ii) how class positions explain the (non) participation of children, and (iii) the mechanisms by which downward mobility is cushioned through practices of distinction for middle-class entrepreneurs. The article contributes to nuance our understanding of the role of family ties in migrant firms by integrating the impact of class on the lives of migrants’ children
