One more new publication, 'Narratives of Settling in Contexts of Mobility: A Comparative Analysis of Irish and Polish Highly Qualified Women Migrants in London'

by maja.frykman＠mau.se

Dear all, Also Louise Ryan's latest article - 'Narratives of Settling in Contexts of Mobility: A Comparative Analysis of Irish and Polish Highly Qualified Women Migrants in London' is now published in a special section of the journal International Migration Volume57, Issue3, <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14682435/2019/57/3> June 2019 - on the theme of migration within the Global North (http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/imig.12493) Adopting a spatio‐temporal lens, this article explores how highly qualified migrant women negotiate relationships and career motivations in specific socio‐structural contexts. Comparing migration experiences of Irish and Polish women in London, I explore similarities within and differences between these groups. Having joined the EU in 1973, Ireland can be regarded as part of “old EU”, while Poland joining in 2004 is part of the “new” wave of EU members. Migration from old and new member states is often discussed separately using different framing. This article contributes to understanding migration in three ways. Firstly, by developing comparative analysis, which goes beyond narrow and static migrant categories. Secondly, by challenging the temporary/transient versus permanence/integration dichotomy to explore a “sliding scale” of migrant trajectories. Thirdly, by illustrating how evolving relationships, through the life cycle, may enable but also hinder migrant women's opportunities for settling in or moving on. It is the same special section where Birigitte Suter’s article is published, that I informed you about in the previous mail. More texts on highly skilled migrants (including educational migrants) can be found at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14682435/2019/57/3 . Maja

New publication: European Migrant Professionals in Chinese Global Cities

by maja.frykman＠mau.se

Here comes the information on a new publication co-authored by Brigitte Suter, first published two days ago. It is related to her project Skilled migration to globalising China: An ethnographic study on migrants' incorporation, transnationality and national identity in Shanghai (COFAS, Marie Curie Forte Outgoing International Fellowship), that was based at Malmö University and at Fudan University, Shanghai. Maja Camenisch, Aldina and Suter, Brigitte (2019) European Migrant Professionals in Chinese Global Cities: A Diversified Labour Market Integration, International Migration, https://doi.org/10.1111/imig.12585 Since the early 2000s, Chinese metropolises have been emerging as hubs for the national and global economy. They attract increasing numbers of foreigners with diverse socio‐economic and educational backgrounds who tend to immigrate independently of the Chinese initiatives focused on “foreign talents”. Our analysis contributes to the understanding of these migrants’ integration into the labour market. Through a Bourdieusian capital lens, this article unpacks the access to the labour market and occupational positions of Swiss and Swedish migrant professionals in mainland China. Differentiated by how they can capitalize upon their educational, occupational, social and cultural resources in this specific context, the article distinguishes between three categories: corporarate expatriates, local hires and entrepreneurs and concludes with policy recommendations to stabilize their residence conditions.
