Working Beyond Ethnic and Cultural Differences Voices of Project Partners Three of eleven current ARSP project partners in the UK discuss their experi- ences with young German and Polish volunteers, describing the ways in which this collaboration has influenced their work and the reasons why they cooperate with a Berlin-based organization and its UK programme director, Magda Schmukalla, who is based in a small office in London. Michael Newman, Director, Association of Jewish Refugees, London »By dint of the fact that our current ARSP volunteer Jan Botsch is the youngest person here, we throw all the technical problems at him, computers, using programmes that per- haps some of us haven’t used before. We’ve been able to either tick off things that we have wanted to do or to get going on things that we thought to do. For example, it’s allowed our volunteer coordinator to start a volunteer programme in the north of England. So it’s getting to that long list of things that are on the desired list and having the extra pair of 6 asf_england_druck_1 22.07.11 10:01 Seite 7 Project Partners hands in the department – I think specifically it’s allowed us to develop links with universities and to re-start the volunteers’ newsletter, which informs our volunteers about the services that we offer at AJR.« Ruth Musgrave, former Project Coordinator at Conflict and Change, Newham »It is extremely important for us to work together beyond ethnic and cultural differences. That is why it is of great importance of us to host ARSP volunteers. Because we now have Polish ARSP volunteers at Conflict & Change, we have been able to establish contacts with the East- ern European community. At a time when a number of Polish migrants have settled in Newham it has been very helpful to have a Polish volunteer here who helped us to understand what the Polish people needed and who broadened our knowledge about Poland.« Gabriela Smolinska, Health Volunteer Coordinator, Roma Support Group, London »It would not be an exaggeration to say that the input of ARSP volunteers has trans - formed the work of Roma Support Group. It is a huge bonus for the project workers to have a dedicated volunteer who can communicate effectively with our clients and take part in our different programmes. It is also a great way for Polish volunteers to experience Roma culture in a way sadly few do in Poland.« ARSP volunteer exploring London. asf_england_druck_1 22.07.11 10:01 Seite 8 ARSP volunteers at the orientation workshop in Cudham, Kent, getting to know the country and the projects before they start their volunteer service.

  • Housing, Credit and Brexit
    Housing, Credit and Brexit Ben Ansell∗ Abstract Dozens of articles have been drafted attempting to explain the narrow vic- tory for the Leave campaign in Britain’s EU referendum in June 2016. Yet, hitherto, and despite a general interest in ‘Left Behind’ commentary, few writ- ers have drawn attention to the connection between the Brexit vote and the distribution of British housing costs. This memo examines the connection be- tween house prices and both aggregate voting during the EU referendum and individual vote intention beforehand. I find a very strong connection at the local authority, ward, and individual level between house prices and support for the Remain campaign, one that even holds up within regions and local authorities. Preliminary analysis suggests that housing values reflect long-run social differences that are just as manifest in attitudes to immigration as Brexit. Local ‘ecologies of unease’ (Reeves and Gimpel, 2012) appear a crucial force behind Brexit. This is a short memo on housing, credit and Brexit to be presented at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, April 2017. ∗Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions, Nuffield College, University of Oxford. [email protected]. My acknowledgements and thanks go to Jane Gingrich for the provision of local economic and housing data. 1 1 Introduction If there is one saving grace of Brexit for the British higher education system it is a boom of Brexit studies that began pouring forth as the dust settled on June 24th 2016. Most scholars have coalesced around an understanding of Brexit that to some extent mirrors that implicit in Theresa May’s quasi hard Brexit strategy - Brexit was caused by both economic and cultural forces, with opposition to the European Union based on concerns about immigration and of declining cultural and social status rather than economic deprivation or actual migration levels per se (Kaufmann, 2016).
