Understanding Support for Diversity
Understanding popular responses to immigration and sociocultural diversification is an important concern. Sometimes they are seen as key to a new cleavage dividing democratic societies. Previous research has often focused on attitudes towards levels and types of new migration, and mainly analysed hostility towards immigration. Yet European societies have also accommodated sociocultural diversification resulting from decades of immigration. How ca…
Diffuse Vielfalt
Menschen nehmen permanent alltägliche Ordnungsleistungen vor. Unter anderem differenzieren und kategorisieren sie die sie umgebenden Menschen. Welche Bedeutung solche alltagsweltlichen Differenzierungen haben, ist bislang unzureichend untersucht. Dieser Beitrag zeigt, dass eine Analyse subjektiver Wahrnehmungen und Beschreibungen, hier der Wohnumgebung, aufschlussreich ist für ein Verständnis von Einstellungen zu Vielfalt und Migration. Zugrunde …

Preference for internet at home in a disadvantaged neighbourhood
Although most households are equipped with digital information and communication technologies (DICT), a significant digital divide remains in internet access at home along income and digital native/immigrant status. Previous research has mainly investigated whether this digital inequality is attributable to constraints such as technological availability or financial resources. This article examines the extent to which digital inequality of intern…
Diversity assent
Recent evidence suggests that in many European countries generally positive views about societal diversity predominate. Yet, as research has rather focussed on negative attitudes towards immigration and diversity, less is known about positive attitudes and those who hold them. The paper makes a conceptual and an empirical contribution to filling this gap. We introduce a multidimensional concept, "diversity assent", to capture both evaluations of …
Who supports refugees? Diversity assent and pro-refugee engagement in Germany
During the 2015 “summer of welcome”, the mass arrival of refugees to Germany triggered widely publicised acts of pro-refugee solidarity among citizens. To date, scholarship has largely focused on hostility towards immigrants—including refugees-, and few studies shed light on the determinants of acceptance, so that refugee solidarity remains poorly understood. In this paper, we hypothesise that pro-refugee engagement does not just reflect humanita…
The Role of Spatial Context in Shaping Adolescents’ Peer Relationships
This article explores the role of neighbourhoods as a spatial context for peer relationships among adolescents. We examine the correlations between neighbourhood composition and places suitable for young people for friendship intimacy and peer belonging. We hypothesise that favourable demographic and social neighbourhood compositions, knowledge, and use of places suitable for young people, as well as the spatial appropriation of such places, prom…
Migrant Organizations and Their Networks in the Co-Production of Social Protection
In contributing to the social protection of migrants, migrant organizations (MOs) have become an important player in the German welfare landscape. Through their activities, they fulfill a set of social functions and integrate into a dense network of various partners characterized by different dependencies and forms of cooperation but also potential conflict. Based on the results of a survey conducted in Germany's Ruhr region between 2021 and 2022…
Has the Covid-19 pandemic undermined public support for a diverse society? Evidence from a natural experiment in Germany
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to widespread worries that the health crisis is resulting in generalized hostility towards minorities and reduced support for a diverse society. Relying on a large survey of diversity attitudes in Germany fielded before and during the pandemic, we employ a quasi-experimental design to evaluate whether such a trend has occurred among the general public. Past work suggests two competing expectations – one anticipating …
Personal and Social Resources as Incentives for Local Political Protest
This article investigates the relationships between local political protest as collective action, on the one hand, and personal resources and network resources as incentives, on the other. It is expected that people participate in political protest activities if they have control and power over resources related to the political sphere, e.g., politics-specific competences and agency and the political socialization of individuals (as personal reso…

Defining and Measuring Transnational Social Structures
Transnational social fields and transnational social spaces are often used interchangeably to describe and analyze emergent structures of cross-border formations. In this article, we suggest measuring two key aspects of these social structures: embeddedness and span of migrants' personal networks. While clustered graphs allow assessing transnational embeddedness, the standardized diversity index can be used to show variation in the number of coun…
Immigration and social interaction
The article investigates to what extent the presence of immigrants in urban environments is reflected in the personal social interactions of their residents. Starting from the assumption that social interactions are complex products of contextual conditions, individual characteristics and personal preferences, we examine potentially varying effects of the presence of immigrants in a neighbourhood and city on different forms of social interaction,…
Neighbourhoods and Municipalities as Contextual Opportunities for Interethnic Contact
This article investigates consequences of spatial contexts on interethnic contact. Despite the acknowledged integrative effects of pleasant interethnic relationships, several unresolved issues remain in this research field: investigations at two contextual levels simultaneously—i.e. neighbourhood and municipality levels; investigations of several contextual characteristics simultaneously, e.g. ethnic concentration, physical contact opportunities,…

New City = New Friends? The Restructuring of Social Resources after Relocation
Despite the significance of spatially proximate social contacts, there is little evidence about the effects of residential mobility on the social capital available to an individual. Based on theoretical considerations of the accumulation process of social capital after relocation, we derive hypotheses about the consequences of residential mobility on social capital. Firstly, we expect a partial devaluation of social capital in the origin region a…
