Elisabeth Claudia Grindel Thesis ‘Temporary Sojourns in the Periphery - Partners of International Students in Lancaster, United Kingdom ’ submitted for the degree of Doctor o f Philosophy (PhD) in September 2011; re-submission in December 2012. This thesis reports the findings of a qualitative research project on partners of international students in Lancaster, United Kingdom, a place selected as an example of the many peripheral university cities affected by the growth in international student migration. The experiences of these voluntary, temporary, mostly highly skilled migrants differ from accounts of other mobile people and have so far been largely ignored in the literature. This is a lack that this thesis fills. Drawing on diverse bodies of migration literature as well as on semi-structured interviews, I explore these migrants’ experiences concerning employment, home, social networking and network support whilst they reside in Lancaster. I show that these ‘immobilised mobile’ people have to rely on the local, restricted, labour market in their search for employment and that they invest a huge amount of emotional labour for the creation of a ‘diasporic intimacy’ which is important for the formation of an ‘intimate diasporic space’ in the home. I further discuss their attempts to form meaningful social networks at the place of relocation and their work on maintaining relations abroad. I explore also how these migrants can feel in or out of place at the new setting. in Acknowledgements This doctoral thesis would not have been possible without the support I received from those who helped me to complete this project. First of all, I am heartily thankful to my primary supervisor, Anne-Marie Fortier, for her encouragement, supervision, and support from the preliminary to the concluding stage. I also thank my secondary supervisor,Nayanika Mookherjee , for being an important part of this project for three years. A special thanks goes to my participants for sharing their experiences with ire, as without their openness this thesis would have only been based on theoretical work. I am also grateful to my two previous employers, the Lancaster University Sociology Department, which enabled me to gain important experience teaching undergraduate students whilst earning a living, and the Gregson Arts and Community Centre for understanding my need for flexible employment. I am thankful to my current employer, Kaplan International Colleges (KIC), for allowing me to participate at conferences and for supporting me throughout the final stages of writing my thesis. I also want to thank my friend Noel Cass for his editorial work and my editor Barbara Ardinger for her fruitful suggestions. I am thankful to my parents, Claudia Weise and Hans-Jorg Grindel , and their spouses, Matthias Weise and Cornelia Rost, as well as my partner Tim Den by for their moral and financial support. Finally, I thank my friends both in Lancaster and across the globe for encouraging me over the last six years.

The motivation for their migration is their desire for close proximity to their partners, the international students. Until now, research on accompanying partners of students had been largely ignored in the literature, a gap that this thesis fills. Earlier writings on asimilar group of migrants in the U.S. and Canada (de Verthelyi, 1995; 1996; Kim, 2006; 2010; Plett Martens and Peter Grant, 20072) refer to these migrants as ‘spouses of international students’. I prefer ‘partners’, as, at the time of the interview, not all of my informants were married. The usage of ‘partner’ includes both married and unmarried informants. Concerning visa regulations, it is vital to mention that all non-EU participants had to be married in order to gain access to the dependants’ visa, whereas EU participants were able to cross borders within the EU without marriage certificates. There are many ways in which we could consider this group of migrants within migration studies. I think they fit best, although not exclusively, into the literature of transnationalism. As they are relatively highly-skilled migrants, with the majority of them holding at least one tertiary qualification, in this introduction I situate the research in the field of ‘privileged’ transnational migration. In chapter one, I specifically situate this thesis in the field of transnational families and network support. These two fields offer useful insights, but my participants do not exclusively 1 I return to the setting in chapter three. 2 1 return to these studies in chapter one. fit in either of these categories. In subsequent chapters, I therefore introduce other bodies of literature that are relevant to more specific issues that each chapter addresses. In this introductory chapter, I first give a brief overview of literature on ‘privileged’ migratioa Second, I show that, although so for largely ignored in relevant literature, the partners of international students in my study are indeed part of this emerging group of migrants. Third, I outline the chapters of this thesis. Gunther Beyer (1981: 96) claims that the twentieth century has been called the ‘century of the homeless man’, a characteristic that becomes even more evident in the twenty-first century. Although migration has always been part of human history, its growth in volume and its significance have risen since the end of the Second World War and most particularly since the 1980s, which leads authors to call the current time the ‘age of migration’ (Castles and Miller, 2003). To migrants, the United Kingdom has traditionally played an exceptional role as an English-speaking country and as head of the former British Empire. In 2007, the year of my study, nearly 600,000 migrants entered the UK on a temporary or permanent basis (Dobson, Latham and Salt, 2008).

  • British Cultural Studies: an Introduction, Third Edition
    British Cultural Studies British Cultural Studies is a comprehensive introduction to the British tradition of cultural studies. Graeme Turner offers an accessible overview of the central themes that have informed British cultural studies: language, semiotics, Marxism and ideology, individualism, subjectivity and discourse. Beginning with a history of cultural studies, Turner discusses the work of such pioneers as Raymond Williams, Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, Stuart Hall and the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. He then explores the central theorists and categories of British cultural studies: texts and contexts; audience; everyday life; ideology; politics, gender and race. The third edition of this successful text has been fully revised and updated to include: • applying the principles of cultural studies and how to read a text • an overview of recent ethnographic studies • a discussion of anthropological theories of consumption • questions of identity and new ethnicities • how to do cultural studies, and an evaluation of recent research method- ologies • a fully updated and comprehensive bibliography. Graeme Turner is Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland. He is the editor of The Film Cultures Reader and author of Film as Social Practice, 3rd edition, both published by Routledge.

    1 The definitive version of this article is published by Blackwell as: Lawler, S. Disgusted subjects: the making of middle-class identities. The Sociological Review 2005, 53(3), 429-446. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118690124/abstract Disgusted subjects: the making of middle-class identities Stephanie Lawler The Sociological Review 2005, 53(3), 429-446. Abstract Although the classed dimensions of ‘taste’ have, following Bourdieu, been widely discussed, expressions of disgust at perceived violations of taste have been less frequently considered in relation to class. This paper considers various expressions of disgust at white working-class existence and explores what they might tell us about middle-class identities and identifications. I argue that the narratives of decline and of lack present in such representations can be seen in terms of a long-standing middle-class project of distinguishing itself. Drawing on Bourdieu’s critique of Kantian aesthetics, I argue that the ownership of ‘taste’ is understood as reflecting true humanity, and as conferring uniqueness. Ironically, however, this uniqueness is only achieved through an incorporation of collective, classed understandings. The paper calls for a problematization of a normative and normalized middle-class location that is, I argue, given added legitimacy by a perceived decline in the significance of class itself. 2 Disgusted subjects: the making of middle-class identities [A]n account of class, rank or social hierarchy must be thin indeed unless accompanied by an account of the passions and sentiments that sustain it (William Miller, The Anatomy of Disgust, p. 245). Social identity lies in difference, and difference is asserted against what is closest, which represents the greatest threat (Pierre Bourdieu, Distinction, p.

  • OPEN LETTER to the University of Liverpool Concerning Threatened Redundancies of Academic Staff
    You can't edit this document directly. To sign please use the form linked below the letter. OPEN LETTER to the University of Liverpool concerning threatened redundancies of academic staff In January the University of Liverpool announced 47 redundancies of academic staff. These staff were identified by grant income and citation metrics and sent letters notifying them they had been targeted for redundancies without the opportunity to review the criteria or the specific information held about them. The University has not made allowance for individual circumstances such as workload or sickness which might have affected these metrics, nor has it given any indication of any meaningful plans to make allowance for such factors. The University used a narrow time window over which to calculate these fluctuating metrics, and a proprietary citation metric tool from Elsevier to arrive at field-weighted citation metrics which are, as a consequence, opaque and difficult to review for appropriateness. We write as members of the wider academic community - researchers who collaborate with the University of Liverpool on grants and papers, who read and cite work from Liverpool, examine PhD students, review courses, attend conferences with colleagues from the University of Liverpool. We are dismayed by the University of Liverpool’s actions, which ​ can only have a chilling effect on UK research. Our belief is not just that the redundancies are financially unnecessary and apparently illegal, nor just that they are fundamentally callous and unfair to deploy against staff who have received consistently positive annual appraisals and have been working harder than ever during a global pandemic.

  • Brief Biographical Notes on Interviewees
    Brief Biographical Notes on Interviewees Adithi C.* was born into a middle-class family in Mangalore in 1953, before coming to take a degree in English at Newnham College, Cambridge, in her early twenties. She became politicised whilst a student and became involved in femi- nist campaigns, including Wages for Housework. She worked for a while in the Women’s Resource Centre in Cambridge in the 1980s. She has since moved onto working for a regional organisation that aims to provide help and support to ethnic minority populations. Bola C.* was born in the early 1950s into a middle-class Black family in Jamaica. She moved first to Canada and then to Cambridge in her twenties, in the 1970s. She became involved in both the Cambridge Black Women’s Group and in Labour Party politics in the 1980s, and worked for the council. She is an evangelical Christian, which informs her belief in social justice. Julie Callaghan was born into a white working-class family in Seaforth, just north of Liverpool, in 1959. She left school at sixteen and went to secretarial college before becoming involved in bookshop work. She joined a consciousness raising group in the late 1980s and thus became involved in feminism somewhat later than most of the other interviewees. She works at News From Nowhere,a radical bookshop in Liverpool. Gail Chester was born into an orthodox Jewish family in Bournemouth in 1951. She moved to London aged seven, and took a degree in Geography at Girton College, Cambridge, where she first became involved in the women’s movement.
