Care for Transactions
In this editorial we ask key questions about what it means to publish ‘a journal’ in a world of publishing which is driven by individual article metrics and online access. Seeing the value of journals as venues for intellectual debate, we therefore set out a renewed vision as to how the Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers can provide space for more collective and collaborative approaches to geographical debate. This approach revo…

Migrant Remitting as Transnational Practice: Moldovans in Italy and Czechia
We examine the relationship between the social practice of migrant remitting and the transnational field connecting Moldova with Italy and Czechia. Using data from a harmonized migrant survey, we estimate ordinal regression models and distinguish two remitting practices. Family remitting is organized around a set of routinized activities and communications that support the survival needs of families, while civil remitting contributes to the long-…
Health of Youth in Transition in Hong Kong
This study aimed to examine the impact of individual (level of vigorous physical activity (VPA) and frequency of using sports and recreation facilities), interpersonal (perceived social cohesion (PSC)), and neighborhood environmental (availability of sports and recreation facilities) factors on youths' health in transition in Hong Kong. A sample of 508 individuals aged 17-23 years from all Hong Kong council districts randomly completed validated …
Migration, precariousness, and the linked lives of newcomers in Hong Kong
We develop the concept of linked lives to deepen understanding of the relationship between migration and precarity. Linked lives and precariousness are mutually constitutive as they embed subjects in the social, spatial, and temporal relations of everyday life while referencing transitions, trajectories, and biographies that unfold through the life course. Studying linked lives draws attention to how cumulative social and cultural processes, incl…
Migration and pastoral power through life course: Evidence from Georgia
Scalar politics, language ideologies, and the sociolinguistics of globalization among transnational Korean professionals in Hong Kong
This paper argues that the sociolinguistics of globalization is accompanied by a constitutive scalar politics. Based on ten interviews with Korean professionals in Hong Kong, we report that Korean migrants' use and experience of English is characterized by competing language ideologies we identify as: Pragmatic English/Perfect English, Multilingualism/English Only, and Global Language/Local Language. Tensions within these ideologies were revealed…

Misplaced: Language, remitting and development practice among Zimbabwean migrants
While skilled migrants make influential contributions to development through remitting cash and exchanging knowledge, we argue for greater scrutiny of the role of language in the so-called ‘migration–development nexus’. Noting the transnational context within which the everyday life of many migrants proceeds, we develop a broader reading of language use which is attentive to its potential role in transforming social, cultural and spatial relation…
Migration, society and globalisation: Introduction to Virtual Issue
10.1111/tran.12056
Return migration and Hong Kong's diverse circuits of mobility
The objective of this research is to extend a geographic understanding of the diversity of contemporary migration through a case-study of return migration to Hong Kong. We explore how political economic and socio-cultural factors associated with globalization and transnationalization have place-specific implications for return migration. To better understand such interdependencies, we shift attention away from return migration as an isolated indi…
Whither and Whence Hong Kong Migration Studies
On 1 July 2012, Hong Kong ( HK ) celebrated the 15th Anniversary of its change of sovereignty to the People's Republic of China ( PRC ). During this period, migration has diversified greatly. Various new visa categories have been created. People from Mainland China and the rest of the world come to HK for work and settlement and HK people have gone to Mainland and overseas to study and work. To appreciate and better plan the growing diversity of …
Migration, recession and an emerging transnational biopolitics across Europe
Population geographies and climate change
This review considers how population geographies currently contribute, and might further contribute, to understanding how populations are connected to climate change. Progress has been made in understanding the empirical and theoretical dimensions of climate change through research on the demographics of climate change, theories of vulnerability and adaptation, and frameworks concerned with risk, and governmentality. I conclude with a call to ref…
Population geographies, gender, and the migration-development nexus
This review considers how international migration is related to development, and focuses on how knowledge about the so-called ‘migration-development nexus’ has been expanded through analyses of gender. My specific objective is to understand the ways in which the migration-development nexus is understood to be ‘gendered’ through the intersecting activities of multiple agents as they negotiate and transform transnational and postcolonial contexts o…
Transnational familyhood and the liquid life paths of South Americans in the UK
In this article, we explore the nature of identity in the contemporary transnational family. To do this we extend lifecourse scholarship by considering Bauman's liquid modernity thesis and introducing the concept of a liquid life path. Original empirical examples drawn from our work among South American migrants and their families living in London and northern England illustrate diverse patterns of identification; everyday practices and social no…
Neoliberal-Parasitic Economies and Space Building: Chicago's Southwest Side
Neoliberal-parasitic economies currently blanket many low-income Latino communities across urban America. We deepen and nuance the thesis that space building is now a privileged instrument of these neoliberal economies. We unearth the everyday operations of this economy and how its manufactured spaces of human management and control are mediated and responded to by local workers to reshape this economy and local worker lives. Our focus, Chicago's…

(Re)membering diaspora: Uneven geographies of Indian dual citizenship
On transnational migration, deepening vulnerabilities, and the challenge of membership
This letter concerns itself with how transnational scholarship might orient itself to unfinished business: specifically, the theorisation of deepening vulnerabilities and persisting inequalities faced by con-temporary transnational migrants. I begin by identifying five inter-locking dimensions of vulnerability: norms about remitting and re-turning; cumulative causation and context of arrival; social rela-tions; civic participation; new racialisat…
International Family Migration and Differential Labour-Market Participation in Great Britain: Is There a 'Gender Gap
Drawing upon studies of subnational (internal) family migration, in this paper we link international family migration to differential labour-market participation in Great Britain. We extend Kofman's fourfold categorisation of international family migration processes to develop a typology of scenarios that acknowledge the important role of the family. We match scenarios to different out-comes using a subsample of partnered migrants from the Sample…
Linking transnational migrants and transnationalism
This paper introduces a special issue on transnational migrants. It provides a brief discussion of the need to rethink ways of conceptualising the links between transnational migrants and transnationalism. In doing so, we point to some recent work by population and social and cultural geographers which provides a valuable exemplar for reconfiguring conceptualisations of migration, migrancy and difference. This introductory paper, and the other pa…
Untying and retying family migration in the New Europe
This special issue comes at a time when political debates on the future of a ‘United Europe’ are raging. As more countries are gradually being introduced into the EU superstate, old questions take on new importance. The focus of this issue is on migration and, in particular, family migration. We suggest that this is a critical topic in the European research agenda. We consider both how family‐related migration affects the social, demographic, and…
Migration, Care, and the Linked Lives of Dual-Earner Households
In this paper we explore how family relations influence the migration decisions of partners in dual-earner households. Specifically, we focus on how care responsibilities link the lives of partners, their children, and their parents, and how these 'linked lives' enable and constrain migration. We adopt a grounded theory approach and interview partners in two suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. The results have two implications for the development o…
The Interrupted Circle: Truncated Transnationalism and the Salvadoran Experience
This paper examines the transnational experience of the Salvadoran community in New Jersey and El Salvador. We argue that this experience is "truncated", stunted as much by the tenuous residency status of many Salvadorans as by distance or poverty. We use unstructured and survey-based interviews to illustrate how the Salvadoran transmigrants have responded to separation from their families in El Salvador by struggling to maintain place ties by su…
Population geography: Lifecourse matters
(Re)producing Salvadoran Transnational Geographies
As contemporary international migrants forge new webs of connection and social fields between distant places, transnational scholarship seeks to understand and theorize these emerging spaces. Our account of the Salvadoran transnational social field centered in northern New Jersey contributes to the development of transnational theory by considering how a particular legal provision—temporary protective status (TPS)—permeates daily life. We argue t…
Distance and health care utilization among the rural elderly
Turning transnational: Notes on the theorisation of international migration
This paper takes stock of transnational perspectives on international migration. Transnationalism concerns itself with social processes that are both rooted in, and transcend, nations. While more generally referring to complex economic, cultural and political relations, I focus on scholarship that describes how migrants contribute to the daily life of emerging transnational communities. I argue that poststructural readings of transnationalism hav…
Lives in limbo: Temporary Protected Status and immigrant identities
The United States formulates much of its immigration and refugee policy to match economic and political circumstances. We interpret these policy shifts as a set of graduated positions on immigration and refugee flows that attempts to discipline the lives of newcomers and, in so doing, shapes immigrant identities. In this article, we analyse the interplay between the US government and Salvadoran asylum applicants negotiating procedures that grant …

Family Migration and the Employment of Married Women and Men
"This research reconsiders the human capital hypothesis that married women have a lower probability of employment after family migration. The empirical analysis focuses on a sample of married parents in the economically active population residing in the midwestern United States in 1980. Our analysis establishes that, after controlling for the effects of migration self-selection bias, family migration increases the probability of employment among …
Methodologically Becoming: Power, knowledge and team research
This article explores the path of methodological and epistemological negotiation travelled by a team of four geographers conducting research among people with transnational connections between northern New Jersey and El Salvador. Having illustrated that all data are contextual, feminist scholars have explored the power relations in which data collection is embedded in order to situate knowledge. The relationship between the dynamics of research t…

The Circular Migration of Puerto Rican Women: Towards a Gendered Explanation
The purpose of this paper has been to outline a theoretical framework for the explanation of the circulation of Puerto Rican women that brings gender relations to the fore, but frames the island-mainland pattern of mobility in the context of core-periphery capitalist relations. We have argued that gender relations in the home and workplace are vitally important for understanding women's moves to the [United States] and return trips to Puerto Rico…

A Tale of Two Counties: Childhood Lead Poisoning, Industrialization, and Abatement in New England
We examine spatial variation in childhood lead poisoning within two industrial counties in New England: Worcester County, Massachusetts, and Providence County, Rhode Island. The findings suggest that lead exposure is linked to the differential patterns of urbanization and industrial activity and that a history of abatement can reduce lead exposure. Lead exposure in census tracts with minority neighborhoods varies in complex ways between the count…

Getting on Your Bike: What Difference Does a Migration History Make
This research is an investigation of the relationship between individuals' histories of migration and their durations of residential sojourns. The use of longitudinal data makes it possible to directly verify the hypothesis that previous migrants will migrate sooner than individuals with no history of migration. The research also provides a random utility justification for a model of residential sojourns." The model is applied to data from the U.…

Migration and Unemployment Duration Among Young Adults
The relationship between migration and unemployment duration is examined. Standard job search predictors of spell length (replacement income, labor force experience, personal characteristics and economic conditions) are included as control variables alongside measures of migration in a Weibull hazard model. The model is estimated using data from the [U.S.] National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Young adults who migrated while unemployed had longe…

Legal status, gender and employment among Salvadorans in the US
This paper investigates the labour market experiences of Salvadorans who reside and work in the US. Many Salvadorans work on temporary visas, which are currently renewed annually until the Immigration and Naturalisation Service or the courts hear their asylum cases under the American Baptist Church v Thornburgh (ABC) ruling. Acknowledging that gender provides the foundation for most occupational segregation and income inequality, we evaluate how …
