(Not) a good place to stay! – East European migrants’ experiences of settlement in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Scotland
In this article, we ask how migrants establish social relationships, attachments and feelings of belonging within and to disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Drawing on extensive qualitative research with East European migrants in Scotland, we explore empirically the material, relational and temporal aspects of experiences of settlement at the neighbourhood level. We consider the ways in which migrants encounter and assess the material and institutional…
You get a better life here’
This paper is not about Brexit and yet it is. It presents findings from a project which explored the ways in which experiences of material and emotional in/security have shaped the decision-making and choices of people who came to live in Scotland from Central and Eastern Europe over the period 2004–2014. Their stories reveal much about the ways in which apparently monumental moments of geopolitical change resonate in longer-term lived experience…
Migrants' experiences of material and emotional security in rural Scotland
Drawing on qualitative research with Central and East European (CEE) migrants living and working in rural areas of Scotland, this article explores what it is that facilitates a desire to stay longer term and how this relates to theorisations of social security and migrant-led understandings of normality. The article makes three original contributions: (i) new empirical insight into the relationship between material and emotional aspects of migrat…
Relationships, Practices, and Images of the Local State in Rural Russia
How might relationships mediate the gap between images and practices of the local state? Drawing on an ethnography of the local state and its role in the provision of social support, this article explores the place of relationships in supporting and/or undermining the ability of local state actors to get things done and live up to the expectations of their co-villagers. The study reveals that it is often through the use of personalized relationsh…

Perceptions of Poverty in Small-town Russia
The paper reviews some of the perceptions and categorizations of poverty found through a study of participatory approaches to poverty reduction in provincial Russia. It draws on theorizations of poverty as a subjective reality which is socially constructed and maybe differently perceived by different subsections of the population. The paper argues that perceptions of poverty matter, because they feed into both formal categorizations of need and e…
She's Like a Daughter to Me’
This article draws on ethnographic research into a state-funded homecare service in rural Russia. The article discusses intersections between care, work and kinship in the relationships between homecare workers and their elderly wards and explores the ways in which references to kinship, as a means of authenticating paid care and explaining its emotional content, reinforce public and private oppositions while doing little to relieve the tensions …
Rural realities in the post-socialist space
Managing everyday (in)securities
Emotional Engagements with the Field
This article underlines the potential for multi-disciplinary area studies to provide a stimulating context within which to advance our understanding of the role that emotions play within the research process. The article seeks to argue for the relevance of emotional work with respect to research activity and, drawing from the experiences of the two authors, highlights some of the ways in which sensitivity to such matters can assist in making sens…

Caring for men in contemporary Russia
This article explores gendered constructions of care and need and the ways in which these affect men's social security in contemporary Russia. It is suggested that gendered caring practices, besides overburdening women and devaluing their labor, also contribute to a trivialization of men's needs and their marginalization in, and/or exclusion from, complex forms of social security. Social security is understood to encompass both material and emoti…
Grassroots Women
The economic, social and political changes that have occurred in Russia over the last 10 years have had a profound effect on Russian women’s lives. Economic reform has brought poverty, insecurity and high levels of anxiety and stress to much of the population, both male and female. The impact of these changes on women was amplified in the early 1990s by their structural positioning both within the workforce and within the population, brought abou…

Dental Evidence for the Diet of Australopithecus
Explaining human structure in functional and adaptive terms and constructing a picture of behavioral changes in the course of human evolution are among the goals of evolutionary studies. Over the years many attempts have been made to interpret the behavior and ecology of Australopithecus, the earliest undoubted member of the human family. Such attempts have used information about environments offossil deposition, the nature of the death assemblag…
