The Everyday Transnational Practices of Migrant Youth
Transnationalism is part of broader globalisation processes and raises important questions in relation to migration, identity, multiculturalism and the very nation-state itself. The focus of this paper is on the transnational practices of migrant youth in three Western, multicultural cities. The transnational engagements of migrant youth often engender cultural, social and political connections between both countries of origin and countries of re…

Multicultural realities
Drawing on empirical data from Australia, Canada, and England, this paper investigates how migrant youth engage with multiculturalism through the lens of transcultural capital. Employing a comparative framework, we examine how these young individuals interpret, experience, and mobilise overlapping multicultural discourses in their everyday lives. By centring the lived experiences of migrant youth, we shift the analytical focus from abstract ideal…
Mapping a research-advocacy-policy agenda on human rights and albinism
The lived experience of albinism is profoundly shaped by the social determinants of health (SDOH). Threats to the security and well-being of persons with albinism should be viewed through a human rights lens that encompasses the explanatory frameworks at play
(Non)religion, spirituality, and the multispecies turn
Empathy Across Difference
In this article, we explore the diversity, histories, and social experiences of migrant youth in Melbourne and Toronto and how they negotiate difference and otherness in their everyday lives. By moving away from the tensions and problems that have often been associated with migration and diversity, we explore how migrant youth’s engagement with multiple cultural systems does in fact engender empathy as a valuable form of transcultural capital. As…
Shifting Wrongs to Rights
Debates about legitimizing human rights in Africa have centred on making universal human rights principles relevant to local social and cultural contexts. Localizing human rights norms requires seeing human rights in terms of relevance to specific situations rather than as the application of abstract principles. In this paper, scholars and advocates analyse the challenges in the practice of human rights, with a focus on mothers impacted by albini…
When do Refugees Return Home?
This paper provides an empirical \n analysis of refugee returns to the Syrian Arab Republic. \n Since 2011, about 5.6 million Syrians—more than a quarter of \n the country’s pre-conflict population—have been registered \n as refugees. By mid-2018, only about 1.8 percent of them had \n returned to Syria voluntarily. This paper compiles a novel \n data set with administrative data for 2.16 million refugees, \n existing and new household surveys, a …
Can Network Theory-Based Targeting Increase Technology Adoption?
Can targeting information to network-central farmers induce more adoption of a new agricultural technology? By combining social network data and a field experiment in 200 villages in Malawi, we find that targeting central farmers is important to spur the diffusion process. We also provide evidence of one explanation for why centrality matters: a diffusion process governed by complex contagion. Our results are consistent with a model in which many…
When do refugees return home? Evidence from Syrian displacement in Mashreq
Stay in the Game
Over the past two decades, sports programs have proliferated as a mode of engaging youth in development projects. Thousands of organizations, millions of participants, and hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in sports-based development programs each year. The underlying belief that sports promote socioemotional skills, improve psychological well-being, and foster traits that boost labor force productivity has provided motivation to expan…
Faith in Numbers
In this essay we attempt to do four things. First, we discuss the appeal of quantitative data generally and the particular salience of the Pew Research Center data on religious identification and religious restrictions. Second, we examine Pew’s data on religious identification. Third, we examine Pew’s data on religious restrictions. Fourth, we provide some recommendations for diplomats and other international affairs practitioners as they engage …
Religious Diversity in Australia
This paper argues for a reconsideration of social cohesion as an analytical concept and a policy goal in response to increasing levels of religious diversity in contemporary Australia. In recent decades, Australian has seen a revitalization of religion, increasing numbers of those who do not identify with a religion (the "nones"), and the growth of religious minorities, including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism. These changes are often und…
Towards Gender Equity in Development
As a result of widespread mistreatment and overt discrimination in all dimensions of their lives, women lack significant autonomy. The central preoccupation of this book is to explore key sources of female empowerment and discuss the current challenges and opportunities for the future. Schematically, three main domains are distinguished. The first is marriage and women?s relative bargaining position within the household. Since in developing count…

Female Leadership Raises Aspirations and Educational Attainment for Girls
Girl Power The potential of affirmative action policies to reduce overall outcomes because of lower individual performance has been discussed widely and at length. But do quotas or preferential treatment of applicants alter the pool of candidates? Balafoutas and Sutter (p. 579 ; see the Perspective by Villeval ) used an existing laboratory-based task to assess the change in composition of winning candidates and the overall outcome as a function o…
Social Networks and the Dynamics of Labour Market Outcomes
This paper examines the dynamic implications of social networks for the labour market outcomes of refugees resettled in the U.S. A theoretical model of job information transmission shows that the relationship between social network size and labour market outcomes is heterogeneous and depends on the vintage of network members: an increase in network size can negatively impact some cohorts in a network while benefiting others. To test this predicti…
Do household definitions matter in survey design? Results from a randomized survey experiment in Mali
Powerful Women
We exploit random assignment of gender quotas for leadership positions on Indian village councils to show that prior exposure to a female leader is associated with electoral gains for women. After ten years of quotas, women are more likely to stand for, and win, elected positions in councils required to have a female chief councilor in the previous two elections. We provide experimental and survey evidence on one channel of influence—changes in v…
Religion, Globalization, and Culture
This volume brings together over 25 articles by many of the most important authors who have worked on issues directly related to the theme of religion and globalization. An additional emphasis on culture flags the inclusion of the relation of religion to its wider social context and also permits questioning the boundaries of religion so as to avoid a strong bias in favour of the analysis of institutionalized religion. The key emphasis of the book…
