Report by the Head of the Sociology Department

The Department of Sociology has maintained its distinguished record in teaching, research grants and publications, as well as in service to the wider professional community.

Teaching

Sociology in Cambridge continued to win national acclaim for its undergraduate teaching programme. The Cambridge Sociology Department has ranked either first or second in the national surveys carried out by The Times and The Guardian for several years in a row. In 2010, the Sociology Department was ranked 1st in The Times, The Independent and The Guardian.. In 2009, the Department was ranked 1st by The Times and The Independent and 2nd by The Guardian. This exceptional record of success attests to Cambridge‟s standing as one of the world‟s pre-eminent institutions for the study of sociology.

The graduate community in sociology remains large and vibrant. The MPhil in Modern Society and Global Transformations continues to attract a large number of applicants and all twenty of the 2009/10 students enrolled in the programme successfully completed the course. In 2009-10 there were 66 students registered for PhD research in Sociology, with 9 new students joining the programme. Many of our students have secured highly competitive research scholarships from the ESRC, the Gates Foundation, and the Cambridge Trust.

Departmental Seminars

The Department continued its series of Sociology Seminars in 2009/2010 which were organized and chaired by Patrick Baert. We had a number of well-known visiting speakers including: Bryan Turner (Wellesley College, USA); Diego Gambetta (University of Oxford); Michael Smith (McGill, Canada); and Professor Yanje Bian (Minnesota and Xi‟an Jiaotong). The Seminars were well attended by staff and graduate students, and they provided a forum in the Department for the discussion of sociological research.

Publications

All members of the Department have been very active in research. A fuller account of the publication outputs can be found elsewhere in the Annual Report, but it is worth highlighting here some of the many books that have been published this year including: Social Theory in the Twentieth Century and Beyond (Baert and da Silva); Migration and Mobility in Europe (D. Lane and Fassmann (eds)); Juan J Linz vols 3 & 4 (Montero and Miley, (eds)); Gender Inequalities in the 21st Century (Scott, Crompton and Lyonette (eds)); Handbook of European Societies: Social Transformations in the 21st Century (Immerfall and Therborn (eds)); Merchants of Culture:The publishing Business in the

21st Century (Thompson). It was especially pleasing to see that John Thompson‟s book Merchants of Culture was selected as the Times Higher’s book of the week. In addition, Miley‟s earlier Linz volumes were awarded the 2009 Prize for the Best Monograph by the Union de Editoriales Universitarias (Spain).

Media and Press

The research of the Department has received considerable publicity this year, with Brendan Burchell appearing as an expert in the BBC’s Child of out Time 2010 Big Personality Test; Larry King receiving extensive international press coverage for his research on economic growth and the impact of public health and Jacqueline Scott speaking at The Guardian Hay on Wye Festival and receiving extensive media coverage in connection with the launch of the book, Gender Inequalities in the 21st Century.

Research Grants

The Department continued its stellar record of winning research grants and contributing to this important stream of university income.

The ESRC Research Priority Grant for Gender Inequalities, which ended in March 2010, was one of the largest grants that the Department has held (£3.3m). The huge productivity of the Network is documented in its final End-Of-Award Report. We are very pleased to note the success of the Network in influencing public debate and helping shape policy.

We are particularly pleased to note the success of our early career researchers, including Pia Schober‟ s British Academy Fellowship on the Gender Division of Domestic Work and Anke Plagnol‟s Levehulme Fellowship on Female labour-force participation and well-being. Shireen Kanj also holds a Leverhulme Fellowship on Mothers as Agents. Jane Nolan has completed her early Nuffield Fellowship on Social Networks and Guanxi. Among our University teaching officers, David Lehmann has successfully completed his AHRC project on secularism and his British Academy project on multiculturalism; Jacqueline Scott has completed her EU project on practicing gender equality in science, as well as the ESRC project on Gender Inequalities in Production and Reproduction. Mirca Madianou, a Newton Trust lecturer, has an ongoing ESRC Project on Migration, ICTs and the Transformation of Transnational Family Life and Peggy Watson, a Senior Research Fellow has successfully concluded her British Academy grant on Mental Health and Civil Society in Transnational Europe. We are delighted that Dr Ruth Gaunt has joined us from Israel as a Marie Curie Fellow with a project on Gender Inequalities in the Home.

Honours & Professional Service Activity

The collective professional service of the department is too numerous to list. However, it is worth highlighting some of the major honours that departmental members have received. Richard Sennett was awarded an Honorary Doctorate at the University of Cambridge. Michael Mann received an Honorary D Litt from the University of the Agean, Greece. Professor Therborn was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Linneas University, Sweden and was admitted as an Academician of the Academy of Social Sciences, UK.

Support Staff Change

We are grateful to Dr Mary Griffin who took on the role of Sociology Administrator (half time) following the resignation of Mrs Liz Wells. Dr Mary Griffin has shown great skill in juggling her administrative responsibilities for Sociology with her role as General Board Officer for the Faculty. We thank both Liz Wells and Ann Sinnott (the GeNet administrator) for all their work for the Department.

Academic Staff Change

Professor Goran Therborn retired in September 2010. Professor Therborn gave a University valedictory lecture on 19 May 2010 which was well attended and highly acclaimed. The book based on the lecture, The Future of the World, is now published with Polity Press. Professor Therborn has been a wonderful colleague and intellectual leader for the Department and we are very grateful for his generous support of both colleagues and graduate students. We are honoured that Professor Therborn will remain an Emeritus Professor attached to our Department. Professor Georgina Born has resigned to take up a position at the University of Oxford. Professor Born has had a very distinguished research career and has done much at Cambridge to spear-head interdisciplinary work between sociology, music and social anthropology. We wish her well in her new institutional affiliation. We are delighted that Dr Jeff Miley had his temporary lecturership in political sociology renewed for 2009-10. We are also delighted that Dr Perveez Mody has joined us as a Mellon Teaching Fellow (joint with social anthropology). We also warmly welcome Dr Ruth Gaunt, who has joined Cambridge from Israel on a Marie Curie Fellowship.

Undergraduate Student Numbers, 2009-2010

Part I 119 Part IIA 118 Part IIB 112

Total 349

Report by the Director of Undergraduate Education

In the 2009-2010 Part IIA, 27 PPSIS undergraduates chose sociology and 5 students chose sociology and psychology. In Part IIB, 18 studied sociology and 12 opted for the joint sociology and psychology option. As in previous years, students were able to choose from a wide range of papers, ranging from „Modern Britain‟ to „Media, Culture and Society‟. In Part I the Polity Prize for Sociology went to Luke Billingham (Trinity Hall), in Part IIA it went to Joe Basrawy (Robinson College) and in Part IIB it was awarded to Halliki Vooma (King‟s College). The joint sociology and psychology prize will go to Sai Li Tan (Emmanuel College). This year we introduced a new paper, „Advanced Social Theory‟ (Soc6), which has been a tremendous success. The paper coordinator is Professor John Thompson. The paper builds further on the second year Social Theory paper (Soc1), but focuses on the contemporary relevance of theory. Fifteen students took the paper and were very enthusiastic about the course. Next year, in collaboration with the social anthropology department, the sociology department will introduce a new paper, called „Gender, Kinship and Care‟ (Int5), coordinated by Dr Perveez Mody. The completed feedback questionnaires confirm that the students who take the sociology stream are very happy with the teaching provided. In August 2010, the Sociology Department co-hosted a joint sociology-psychology summer course for school pupils as part of the Sutton Trust Summer School scheme of the University of Cambridge. Sutton Trust offers residential subject-specific courses for year 12 of UK state-maintained schools. A Level Essay Competition

On 17 November 2009, the two winners of the A Level Essay Competition, organised by Brendan Burchell, were invited with their teachers to a Reception at the Sociology Department. They also had the opportunity to attend the fortnightly Sociology Seminar which followed the Reception.

The prize was shared by Peter Aston (of Harrow School) for his essay: Social Capital – its Decline, Effect and Why the Current Social Climate Could See a Change in the Trend, and Yanpei Zhang (of St Paul‟s Girls School) for her essay What are the Success and Flaws of China’s One-Child Policy and are There Better Alternatives Available?.

Report by the Director of Graduate Education

A total of 86 graduate sociology students were registered in 2009-10: 20 MPhils and 66 PhDs.The Department of Sociology‟s graduate teaching continues to be an important strength of the Department. For the second year, PPSIS graduates have been organized more along departmental lines, and the strong emerging sense of identity amongst the sociology graduates has been a rich reward from that restructuring. The graduate students contribute to the intellectual community, and are a vibrant force in the seminars, reading groups and social activities of the department. The PhD students also make an important contribution to the undergraduate teaching, which gives them a valuable opportunity to develop their communication and teaching skills. The graduate students organize a number of events that include the psychology and politics students in the wider Faculty, such as the Tuesday „coffee and cake‟ mornings and the Graduate seminars, where they can present their research to members of the Faculty as well as to each other.

Some of the research groups in the faculty continued as nexuses for shared research interests, such as the Media Seminar Research Group or the Individual in the Labour Market Research Group. Others developed as a number of PhD students realized that they had overlapping interests, such as the Non-religion and Secularity Research Network (NSRN).

In line with the continuing growth of sociology graduate education in Cambridge, the number of both applications and of new admissions to the PhD programme for 2010 were the highest in the forty year history of the Faculty.

MPhil in Modern Societies and Global transformations

The MPhil course in 2009-10 ran smoothly, and all 20 of the candidates comfortably passed the course. One of the great strengths of the course is that the students come from a wide variety of countries from all corners of the globe: this year was no exception, with 18 of the candidates coming from outside of the UK. There were two students whose performances were particularly noteworthy, Yen-Chun Chen (on Generational Transmission of Filial Piety in Taiwan) and Victor Roy (on global politics and tuberculosis treatment); both were awarded Distinctions by the examiners.

A number of the MPhil candidates applied for, and were accepted to continue to the Cambridge Sociology PhD programme. Yen Chun-Chen and Matthew Lampert stayed on to start their PhDs immediately, others are expected to return after a gap year, or having secured funding. Others gained PhD places in other prestigious universities or went on to other vocational courses or secured employment in research or other sectors.

MPhil applications

There were 104 applications in total for the MPhil in Modern Society and Global Transformations (up 5% on the previous year) and 20 began the course in October 2009. One student was allowed leave to defer submission of thesis; the rest completed successfully in July 2010.

Sociology PhD Programme

On 1 October 2009 there were 66 students already registered for the PhD degree. In the admissions process, the Sociology Graduate Education Committee received 60 new applications and of these, 16 began the course full-time (this year there were no new part-time PhD students). Five of those 16 had done the sociology MPhil either in 2008-9 or before.

Research Groups

ESRC Gender Equality Network (GeNet)

The ESRC Gender Equality Network (GeNet) was a major project with £3.3m funding across the period 2004-2009. In 2010 we submitted our end-of-award report to the ESRC. The purpose of the report was to provide evidence of the achievements and impact of our research, and of the effectiveness of the Network as a means of organising and enhancing the work of the individual projects. Here we reproduce a summary section of how the Network‟s objectives were achieved. More details can be found on www.genet.ac.uk The ESRC Gender Equality Network (GeNet) had the overarching aim of producing new and substantive findings and contributing to new theoretical conceptualisations of changing forms of gender inequalities. Thus GeNet‟s mission was to explore the changing dynamics of gender equality in contemporary society; bringing together nine substantive projects, spread across eight institutions and involving over twenty researchers from a wide range of disciplines. The goal of the Network was to pull together the critical mass, diverse expertise, time and resources to make a significant impact on one of the most pressing social issues of our time. The main aims of the Network remained unchanged from the outset. They were to: a) contribute to current policy debates and help shape future policy thinking; b) contribute to the evidence-base for assessing how changes in gender can best be achieved with different organisations and sectors, and to work with „knowledge brokers‟ to disseminate findings to relevant actors;

c) produce theoretically-informed high quality empirical research that illuminates three aspects of gender inequality in production and reproduction: namely the inter-related changes of lifecourse processes, resource allocations across different socio-economic contexts, and policy responses; d) contribute to emerging theoretical debates including space-time dimensions of life course theory and contextualised capabilities and gender inequalities; e) contribute to the ESRC‟s mission of enhancing methodological skills by offering substantively-led methodological training. Contributions to policy debates using ‘knowledge brokers’ GeNet has made a substantial contribution to policy debates and has influenced the reports of the Women and Work Commission (2006) and John Hills' National Equality Panel Review (2009) as well as the Discrimination Law Review that preceded the 2010 Equality Act. Because of space constraints, two examples will have to suffice. These illustrate not only our contribution to policy debates but also how we work with „knowledge brokers‟ (including government commissions and NGOs ) to help shape future policy thinking. First, we presented evidence of the detrimental effects of employment inflexibility to the Women and Work Commission. These findings were also widely disseminated in the high profile public conference in December 2005 that marked the 25th anniversary of the Women and Employment Survey and brought together over 150 participants to discuss the way men‟s and women‟s changing lives brought new challenges. The Women and Equality Unit at the Department for Trade and Industry co-sponsored this GeNet event and Meg Munn MP, the Minister for Women and Equality addressed the conference. The PIs of GeNet‟s project 1 on Changing Occupational Careers of Men and Women (Dex and Joshi) gave one of the plenary papers, which was used as evidence by the Women and Work Commission. This showed how the career penalties associated with motherhood have lessened across the generations, while warning that returning to part- time work exacerbates women‟s downward mobility. Another finding was that the gender wage gap increases over the lifecourse even for those without job interruptions, part-time hours and part-time pay. Family responsibilities take their toll even when women have full-time uninterrupted careers. The message to policy debates that has been reiterated again and again by GeNet research is that equality in employment is unlikely to be achieved so long as family norms reinforce the existing gender divide. This point is made starkly by Gershuny‟s project on gender, time allocation and the „wage gap‟ (Project 4). This demonstrates how the persistence in the gender gap in labour market earning can be explained by the unequal division of domestic labour in the household. Second, GeNet has made a substantial contribution to the policy debates about the way family circumstances can impact on the wellbeing of men, women and children. GeNet research is shaping debates on gender inequalities, and our work was highlighted in the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) conference on Future of

Families (2008), the National Institute of Family and Parenting Annual Conference (2009), and The Good Childhood Inquiry report (2009). In 2007 GeNet sponsored two international workshops at LSE on divorce and fertility that brought together a range of experts interested in the links between changing demography and social policy. A public GeNet seminar in the 2008 Social Science week (at Cambridge) looked at the „financial consequences of partnership splits‟ and how these relate to the Law Commission‟s proposed legal changes for cohabitation. These are hugely important issues for gender equality, not only in terms of the different economic implications for men and women, but also for the wellbeing of children. Sigle-Rushton, Hobcraft and Kiernan in Project 3 have drawn attention to the „long reach of childhood‟ for wellbeing in adult life. The consequences matter as childhood experiences influence subsequent partnership instability, father involvement in child-rearing, socio-economic disadvantage and poorer mental health. There are also clear gender inequities with the penalties of risky parenthood being much greater for mothers than fathers. In the ESRC State of the Nation (2008) Sigle-Rushton‟s work on the domestic division of labour and divorce was highlighted. This shows that men‟s participation in housework can offset the increased risk of divorce associated with maternal employment. These findings challenge current government policies that assume that particular family forms hold the key to family stability. The implication of these GeNet findings is that families matter to the wellbeing of men, women and children, but that the family household is often a site of contested inequalities, across both gender and generations. High quality empirical work on gender inequalities on production and reproduction The academic output of this Network has been extraordinarily high with 22 books, 120 book chapters, 203 refereed articles, 79 research reports and 92 working papers being produced. The nominated outputs provide evidence of the quality of the academic output of the Network as a whole, and each of the nine projects individually. All the projects have contributed in both quantity and quality to the Network‟s output and even where serious illness would have been expected to slow output somewhat (in particular projects 4, 7 and 9) the evidence shows these projects‟ outputs remained prolific. In part this is because all projects have recruited high calibre early career research staff who, with the ongoing support of the Network, have been capable of working independently. Indeed, one of the great achievements of the Network has been the extraordinary talent of our early career staff, some of whom are „rising stars‟ of the next generation of researchers. Contributions to theoretical advancement The Network has made a significant contribution to theoretical advancement and each project has brought different theoretical contributions to the topic of gender inequalities. Dex and Joshi have contributed to the debates on occupational mobility and employment flexibility; Schoon has taken forward lifecourse work on biographical agencies and how actors and structures interact in shaping gendered lives; Sigle- Rushton and Hobcraft have demonstrated the „long reach of childhood‟ as well as the

interplays of gender and environment; Gershuny has contributed the notion of „lagged adaptation‟ and has applied the economic notion of „shadow wage‟ into sociologically- informed estimates of human capital (the „Essex score‟); Bennett, Himmelweit and Sutherland have furthered the understanding of „entitlement‟ and how it can be operationalised within the context of within-household inequalities; McDowell has linked body image and ethnicity to labour market segmentation, as well as contributing to debates on „intersectionality‟; Crompton and Lyonette have forwarded the understanding of work-life balance in specific class-related habitus; Deakin has developed concepts of „hard‟, „soft‟ and „reflexive‟ law in the context of employment diversity and gender equality; Lewis has shown the dangers of fragmentation and the short-termism of policy and has highlighted the gendered nature of work-life balance. Together, these insights emphasise that gender inequalities have to be examined as dynamic processes; and that production and reproduction are intrinsically interlinked. Contributions to ESRC’s priority to enhance methodological skills The Network is proud of its record in capacity building and enhancement of methodological skills both within and outside the Network. The Network has invested considerable time and resources in the mentoring, support and development of early career researchers. This included holding two early-career conferences at Cambridge. The strategy has been highly successful and our contract research staff have won postdoctoral fellowships from the British Academy, the Nuffield Foundation and the Leverhulme Trust (e.g. Kan, Nolan and Plagnol) and several have secured lectureships or gone on to senior research positions (e.g. Dyer, Lyonette, McLaughlin). In 2009 GeNet PIs had 37 PhD and 13 postdoctoral students whom they were mentoring. In addition, the Co-ordinator and PIs have offered a number of external training courses in quantitative methods, comparative methods, analysis of complex data sets, grant writing skills etc,, both for academia and government researchers Contributions to ESRC’s other key research priorities The Network has contributed both directly and indirectly to the key research challenges that the ESRC 2005-2010 Strategic Plan identifies particularly in terms of the theme of „living in Britain today.‟ Evidence for this is the extensive coverage (9 articles) based on GeNet research in both the Society and the Money and Business sections of the ESRC magazines Britain in 2008, Britain in 2009 and Britain in 2010.

Individual in the Labour Market Reading and Research group

One of the most active groups in the Sociology Department is the Individual in the Labour Market reading and research Group (ILMrg) directed by Dr Brendan Burchell. The ILMrg has been meeting regularly since 2001 and has an active programme of meetings and social gatherings for teaching staff, post-docs and graduate students. Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Cambridge Journal of Economics we can cover costs of entertainment and travel for guest speakers, and provide services like business cards for members. Although still primarily a Sociology-based group, we also have members from Geography, Economics, Social Psychology, Politics and Management. The group had fortnightly meetings during term-time. In addition to our regular reading-based meetings, in 2009-10 we also had:

 A film night (Fear and Trembling – a comparison of European and Japanese workplace norms);  A seminar by Debbie Enever (Liberal Democrat Policy Officer) on the interface between social scientists and policy makers;  A seminar by a member, Thorsten Jelinek, just before submitting his PhD;  Punting down the Cam by starlight.

Many members have successfully concluded their time at Cambridge and moved on in the past year. Some MPhil students have progressed to PhDs places at Cambridge or elsewhere, others have found employment in occupations from the police force to university researchers. Ex-PhD students have successfully found employment in university research, university lecturing, the media, commercial research and City banking.

Several active members of the ILM group have finished their MPhils and PhDs. Yen- Chun Chen was awarded a distinction and has been granted a Gates scholarship to continue with her PhD. Sunny Lu and Nurjk Agloni also finished the sociology MPhil and are returning to Taiwan and Chile respectively, but both are hoping to be able to return to Cambridge to start a PhD at some time in the future. Lisa Siegele finished the Psychology MPhil as a visiting student and has returned to Germany. Ben Hardy was successful in his PhD viva, and fortunately for us remains in Cambridge as a research associate at the Judge. Karenjit Clare has also been awarded her PhD and spent this academic year as a temporary lecturer in Economic Geography, but leaves Cambridge now to take up a prized Junior Research Fellowship at Oxford.

We were enormously pleased for Bob Blackburn who was awarded an Honorary Professor at Stirling University in recognition of his lifetime contribution to sociology. Such awards are rare, but totally deserved in Bob‟s case. Bob was also appointed to the ESRC College, more congratulations.

Agnieszka (aka Aga) Piasna has a successful first year in her PhD (also with the backing of a prestigious Gates Scholarship), had a book review published, gave two conference papers and in her spare time gave birth to a baby girl, Julia, in June. Julia is making great progress, but not yet able to speak as many languages as her mother!

Our family award for 2009-10 goes to Dr Thorsten Jelinek and Dr Hui Wang who not only both successfully completed their PhDs but also produced Zurie in May, a younger sister for Angelina.

Girts Racko was awarded his PhD two years ago now, and joins the growing ranks of members of this group who have gone on to get research jobs at Cambridge – Girts is currently a research associate in the Judge Business School.

Fabio Bolzonaro took 6 months away from his PhD studies at Cambridge to take up a visiting studentship at Berkeley, following in the footsteps of Achim Edelmann who received a similar award in 2008-9. Alvaro Figueredo is also crossing the „pond‟ to an American university – MIT – to work on a programme „Science, Technology and Society‟.

Julia Gumy was one of the founding organisers of the PPSIS graduate poster exhibition 'Visualising Social Sciences' in October 2009. This event was fantastically successful in two ways: it gave 16 PhD students experience in preparing and presenting posters (the standard was far higher than the poster sessions in a conference I attended recently!) and it also familiarised PPSIS PhD students with each others‟ research.

We were also pleased to be able to welcome two academic visitors to the group this year, Jinglu Yang from China and Holger Lubbe on placement from Germany.

Now that this group has been going for 9½ years, there are dozens of ex-members who have left Cambridge for all parts of the globe and doing a variety of different jobs, but still keeping in touch with their supervisors and contemporaries. The Work, Employment and Society conference in Brighton in September provided an excellent opportunity for current and alumni members to meet. We have just instigated an alumni status for members of the ILM who have either gained their PhDs or left Cambridge to pursue their studies or career. This group currently has over 30 founding members linked by a ucam website, LinkedIn and a Google groups mailing list (thanks to Dr Ines Wichert for initiating this group). We are currently considering ways in which to facilitate links, where useful, between current and alumni members.

Many other graduate students and post-doc researchers made a start to their publishing careers with articles, book reviews and conference papers. A selection of their publications are listed in Appendix C:

Cambridge Socio-legal Group

The Cambridge Socio-Legal Group was established in 1997 as an interdisciplinary discussion forum concerned with promoting debate on topical socio-legal issues, including those with relevance to policy-making. It is hosted by the Centre for Family Research, Faculty of Politics, Psychology, Sociology and International Studies and by the Faculty of Law. The Group serves to bring together people from different faculties across the University (Law, Criminology, Politics, Psychology, Sociology and International Studies, Psychiatry, Biology, Economics, Social Anthropology, and others) as well as prominent socio-legal scholars from other institutions. The Group's activities have revolved around an annual symposium, and on the production of books - including What is a Parent: A Socio-Legal Analysis (1999); Body Lore and Laws (2002); Children and Their Families: Contact, Rights and Welfare (2003); Sexuality Repositioned: Diversity and the Law (2004), Kinship Matters (2006), Death Rites and Rights (2007), and Regulating Autonomy: Sex, Reproduction and Families (2009) (all published by Richard Hart – www.hartpub.co.uk/books).

The Group‟s most recent symposium on money, property, relationships and separation organized by Jo Miles (Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge), and Rebecca Probert (School of Law, University of Warwick), examined a range of empirical questions relevant to the law‟s treatment of family members on relationship breakdown. With many couples separating each year, the questions of how to determine the financial and property consequences of such separation has always been a problem area with family law. For example, should the principles be the same for married and cohabiting couples? And should the division of assets reflect the parties‟ own expectations or norms imposed by society? The book brings together leading academics from a wide range of disciplines including Sociology, Social Gerontology, Psychology, Economics, Law, and Geographical Sciences. An edited collection of the papers was published – Shaming Lives, Dividing Assets – again published by Hart Publishing, in July 2009 (edited by Jo Miles and Rebecca Probert).

Future projects include an interdisciplinary symposium on „Birth Matters‟ and possibly one on the „Home‟.

The Socio-legal Group thus provides a focus for those in the University engaged in socio-legal research, and a basis for linking with the broader world of socio-legal scholarship in Britain and abroad. The Group also aims to encourage and support its individual members to work collaboratively, thus fostering inter-disciplinary cross- fertilisations.

Research grants:

Dr Madianou is currently Principal Investigator on the ESRC funded project on Migration, ICTs and Transnational Family Life (RES-000-22-2266) This is a three year (2007-2010) comparative ethnographic project that investigates the role of ICTs (internet and mobile phones) in the context of transnational families and in particular the ability of Filipino and Caribbean migrants in the UK to maintain primary long distance relationships. Together with her collaborator, Prof. Daniel Miller (UCL), they are currently examining how old and new communications technologies facilitate or inhibit close relationships of love and care such as those between parents and children or within couples. This is a multi-sited ethnography based in Cambridge and London and also in the Philippines and Trinidad. The grant runs to January 2011.

Research trips:

Dr Nolan spent four months in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing interviewing senior executives in the financial sector for her Nuffield Foundation Fellowship.

Current research grants: Nuffield Foundation New Career Fellowship (with Professor Malcolm Warner) titled: An investigation of the social networks of foreign and local financial experts in Hong Kong and Shanghai Dr Nolan is currently studying the role of western bankers in the reform of financial institutions in mainland China. She is investigating two research questions: first, how foreign institutions seek to impose formal, internationally-accepted business norms in their relationships with Chinese institutions, and second: how individual foreign bankers adapt to local, informal norms of business behaviour, specifically the degree to which they attempt to develop personal relationships to manage administrative and commercial relationships. The research contributes to theoretical debates on agency and network processes in institutional change and will be published in a monograph in 2011.
