This article analyses property relations in post‐socialism through the analytical lens of housing studies and moral economy, specifically in the context of rental and neighbour relations in urban apartment buildings. It draws on 50 in‐depth residential biographies of residents of St. Petersburg, Russia, collected between 2017 and 2021. The interviews represent a diversity of tenures, as well as direct and indirect voices of homeowners and non‐own…
Making Neighbor Relations Through Materialities and Senses
Many scholars have turned to neighboring, or neighbor interactions and practices, as an open-ended process rather than a finished ideal. In doing so, they have disrupted the romanticization of the neighborhood as a community-driven and stable space.

Amid the rapid transformations in contemporary…

Applying the concept of productive work and reproductive labour, and drawing on in-depth interviews with the Schengen visa-dependants in Ru…
Now I Know Norway from Within
This article analyses how female au pairs from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) perceive some aspects of Norwegian society - public arrangements and rules; localities and social environment; and privacy and culture of parenting - to express their belonging to it. Applying the concept of boundary work, and drawing on in-depth biographical interviews with current and former au pairs, I show how they find their own place in a new context…
