Role Conflict and Work‐Life (Dis)Integration During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
In this paper, we explore the influence of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the work‐life balance and role conflict of various groups of academic scholars at a large university in the United States and qualitatively analyze how outcomes were navigated by the household composition, gender, and quality of the home–work environment. Before the pandemic, a sustainable work–life balance (WLB) was considered important to achieve among employees and was particu…
The hidden strength of small business
Throughout contemporary China, consumers have the option of purchasing food products from "traditional" Chinese wet markets or "modern" supermarket chains. Wet market vendors are economically disadvantaged as the operators of small-scale businesses with limited investment and high labor costs. Nevertheless, wet market vendors continue to thrive in urban China, despite the continued expansion of supermarket chains. This article combines ethnograph…
Caring Too Much? Emotional Labor and Compassion Fatigue Among Faculty During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Underrepresented minority faculty in the USA face a double standard in promotion and tenure decisions
Underrepresented minority (URM) faculty face challenges in many domains of academia, from university admissions to grant applications. We examine whether this translates to promotion and tenure (P&T) decisions. Data from five US universities on 1,571 faculty members’ P&T decisions show that URM faculty received 7% more negative votes and were 44% less likely to receive unanimous votes from P&T committees. A double standard in how scholarly produc…

Bride kidnapping in post-Soviet Eurasia
Throughout Eurasia, bride kidnapping continues to be a fairly common way to get married. The practice is becoming increasingly controversial. Some local actors argue the practice is a cultural tradition, while others question its acceptability, particularly when a woman is forced to marry against her will. Many scholars, journalists and non-governmental organization workers view non-consensual variations of bride kidnapping as a form of gender-ba…
Privileged Exclusion in Post-Soviet Kazakhstan
This article explores issues of citizenship and belonging associated with post-Soviet Kazakhstan's repatriation programme. Beginning in 1991, Kazakhstan financed the resettlement of over 944,000 diasporic Kazakhs from nearly a dozen countries, including Mongolia, and encouraged repatriates to become naturalized citizens. Using the concept of "privileged exclusion," this article argues that repatriated Kazakhs from Mongolia belong due to their kno…
Choosing to Stay
One of the defining characteristics of globalization is the increased flow of migrants across international borders. Fluctuating migration flows in rural communities of the Global South have the potential to significantly contribute to or undermine the livelihoods of local residents. Households that choose not to migrate, that remain immobile, play a key role in sustaining rural communities. Migration studies in the Global South, however, have la…
Immobility and the re-imaginings of ethnic identity among Mongolian Kazakhs in the 21st century
The Unequal Burdens of Repatriation
Beginning in 1992, the newly independent government of Kazakhstan has facilitated the in-migration of 944,000 Kazakhs from neighboring countries, with the majority migrating as family units. Using the post-Soviet repatriation of Kazakhs as an example, we illustrate in this article how socially constituted notions about gender and kinship help reinforce institutional and informal power structures that favor men at three different points in the mig…
Discovering a sense of well-being through the revival of Islam
Throughout Central Asia, the end of communism has been marked by a significant change in the management and influence of local mosques. In many rural areas, small underground mosques operated by informally trained, elderly moldas have been supplanted by newly constructed mosques led by younger, foreign-educated local imams and financed by governmental and private donations from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. From several perspectives,…
Meeting Over Yonder
Luther King, Jr., moved his family into a tenement in a blasted neighborhood on Chicago's West Side. Situated just outside the hotbed of modern gospel, soul, and electric blues in "Bronzeville," the city's long-established South Side, King sought to draw attention to the plight of those who had gained little from the civil rights movement's success in the courts, Congress, and the battlefields of the South. As they had in Birmingham and Selma, th…
The Kazakhs of Western Mongolia
The Kazakhs are the largest minority group in Mongolia, a relatively homogenous country dominated by Khalkha Mongols. Since 1991, Mongolia has transitioned politically and economically and witnessed significant changes in internal and international migration flows. The large-scale movement of ethnic Kazakhs from western Mongolia to Kazakhstan represents one such emerging international flow. This migration is influenced by economic motivations, hi…

Bride abduction in post-Soviet Central Asia
The apparent revival of non-consensual bride abduction in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan is somewhat surprising seventy years after the Soviet state banned the practice and introduced sweeping legislation to emancipate women. This article relies on local discourses of shame and tradition to explain changing marriage practices and to mark a shift towards greater patriarchy in post-Soviet Central Asia. Discourses of shame are mobilized by local actors i…

I'll speak in proper slang”
S The purpose of this study was to examine the language ideologies—the assumptions about the nature of language, language variation, and language learning—reflected in a widespread daily editing activity often known as Daily Oral Language or Daily Language Practice. Through a yearlong ethnographic study of grammar instruction in three urban, predominantly African American 10th‐grade English classes, two university researchers and the classroom te…
Mobility and Immobility in a Transnational Context
Inquiry into the causes and outcomes of transnational migration spans numerous disciplines, scales and methodological approaches. Fewer studies focus on immobility. Utilizing the Kazakh population of Mongolia as a case study, this paper considers how non-migrants view the economic and cultural costs of migrating. We posit that three factors, including local place attachments specific to Mongolia, access to information about life in Kazakhstan and…

Ethical Dilemmas of Bride Kidnapping in Central Asia
The New Silk Road
Within the past century, international tourists have increasingly sought destinations in their pursuit of relaxation, escape, and adventure. Recognizing the opportunity to earn valuable foreign currency, developing countries have catered to these desires by encouraging tourism development. The interplay between and and the impact of tourism on host communities have been recurring themes in the anthropological literature on tourism, but scholars r…
Social Dimensions in the Economic Process (Research in Economic Anthropology)
Gifts, Bribes, and Development in Post-Soviet Kazakstan
Beginning in the 1990s, development organizations launched a global anticorruption campaign. Throughout the world, including post-Soviet Kazakstan, widespread corruption is generally viewed as a serious threat to economic development and political stability. This article addresses the practical problem of distinguishing gifts from bribes in a society like Kazakstan, where some gifts function in part as bribes. The search for this nonexistent boun…
