Early Life Family Care for and With Migrants: The Development of a Transcultural Transition Mentoring Competence Profile
Early Life Family Care (ELFC) has so far neglected the needs of migrant families, partly due to professionals' lack of transcultural knowledge required to address these specific needs. Simultaneously, migrants face employment barriers, including the non-recognition of qualifications and competences. The EU-funded project addressed both these issues by developing an ELFC mentoring training scheme for migrants, who can use their existing and acquir…
Female-Breadwinner Families in Germany: New Gender Roles
Female breadwinning has recently gained in significance in Germany. This article examines the extent to which female breadwinning is linked to new gender roles, and the impacts the role reversal may have on families' everyday lives. Qualitative interviews with female breadwinners living in Western Germany were conducted to explore families' ways of doing gender and doing family as an interrelated process. The research examined, first, the female-…
Doing family in the age of involved fatherhood: Fathers’ accounts of everyday life in a German context
Qualitative interviews with men, who considered themselves to be ‘active fathers’, explored how they and their partners ‘do family’, particularly with regards to dividing childcare and chores, and awarding the right to self-care. Rationales, motivations and principles of the distribution of parental duties and rights in the context of everyday life were examined. While pragmatic solutions to familial challenges prevailed, normative approaches als…
International Migration and Rural Areas: Cross-National Comparative Perspectives
International migration and economic participation in small towns and rural areas – cross-national evidence
This paper analyses the neglected labour market experiences of international migrants to non-metropolitan areas, mainly drawing on the evidence of a large, cross-national research project on immigration, as well as on other available research evidence. By examining migrants’ employment experiences in four different countries – Canada, the USA, Ireland and Scotland – we are able to discuss key themes and consider them from a comparative perspectiv…
Developing a Guideline of Good Practice in a North–South Health Research Collaboration: A Participatory Approach
North–South health research collaborations have a colonial history, and a contested presence in which organisations from resource-poor countries depend on collaborations with grant-holding institutions from affluent countries. Despite this sensitive context, there is a remarkable lack of guidance to support North–South health research collaborations in a comprehensive manner. A reference document of practical advice can establish standards from t…
Youth Migration from Rural Areas: Moral Principles to Support Youth and Rural Communities in Policy Debates
Literature on rural youth has often described this group as disadvantaged with regard to, for example, education and employment opportunities, which results in young people being forced to leave their rural communities. Hence, policy interventions and the allocation of more resources to rural areas are called for. However, it is unclear on what moral assumptions the advocacy for more provisions rest. No explicit links have been made to policy pri…

Research relationships between the South and the North: Cinderella and the ugly sisters
The 'Interpreter Effect: Rendering Interpreters Visible in Cross-Cultural Research and Methodology
Social science literature dealing with cross-cul tural research tends to discuss 'language' as a methodological problem. One focus is hereby on testing the equivalence of concepts in dif ferent languages, usually in relation to one survey carried out in various countries. However, what hardly seems to feature are ex periences and thoughts on the social process of conducting interviews with a party of a differ ent linguistic background from that o…
