Managing Public Sociology and an Academic Career
Reflexive practice in live sociology
This paper brings reflexivity into conversation with debates about positionality and live sociology to argue for reflexivity to be reimagined as an enduring practice that is collaborative, responsible, iterative, engaged, agile and creative. We elaborate our argument with reference to examples and contemplations drawn from our experiences researching what Brexit means for Britons living in the EU-27 for the BrExpats research project, which was in…
Lifestyle Migration and Colonial Traces in Malaysia and Panama
Leading scholars in the sociology of migration, Michaela Benson and Karen O’Reilly, re-theorise lifestyle migration through a sustained focus on postcolonialism at its intersections with neoliberalism. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the interplay of colonial traces and neoliberal presents, the relationship between residential tourism and economic development, and the governance and regulation of lifestyle migration. Drawing on ethnogr…
North-Europeans in Spain
The focus of this special issue is the migration of North-Europeans to the Spanish coastal areas which are known to be tourist destinations. This is a kind of mobility that most commonly has been conceptualised as Lifestyle Migration (cf. Benson & O’Reilly 2009a, 2009b). The concept of lifestyle migration has been developed and widely employed as a way of thinking about mainly relatively affluent and relatively privileged forms of migration aroun…
The British on the Costa del Sol Twenty Years On
This paper is based on ethnographic research with British migrants in Spain over a 20-year period: a period of mass migration and some return migration. British in Spain, who became a mass media and academic phenomenon during this time, have often been understood as performing liquid or mobile mobilities, and little attention has been given to the long-term impacts of their migration. This paper examines environmental and infrastructural changes …
From lifestyle migration to lifestyle in migration
This article argues that analytical concepts used in migration (and other) research are most effectively employed empirically when their methodological underpinnings, and the nature of their development, are fully understood. Inductively designed conceptual frameworks developed through long-term qualitative research are a useful way of (re)thinking migration that can free researchers from the constraints of externally-imposed frameworks, categori…

Key Concepts in Ethnography
This title addresses and summarizes the basic and related issues in ethnography, examines topics like 'sampling' and 'generalizing' as well as embracing new fields such as virtual, visual and multi-sighted ethnography, and discusses time-honoured themes such as key informants, access, participant observation and rapport as well as key contemporary issues such as reflexivity, writing, and ethics
On loss of activity and independence, adaptation improves life satisfaction in old age – a qualitative study of patients’ perceptions
Continuity of the Self in Later Life
The authors explore perceptions of informal caregivers of extremely elderly (80+) relatives or friends regarding the purpose of caregiving, including factors they considered important for the life satisfaction of the care recipients. They collected data mainly through qualitative interviewed and employed symbolic interactionism. The results revealed a general purpose of the informal caregiving: protection of the care recipient's self. This purpos…
When is a tourist
As flexible forms of migration undermine the distinction between tourism and migration, analyses of human mobility demand new conceptualizations and characterizations. However, before we rush to ever more metaphors of flux and flow it is important to explore the articulation of tourism and migration as they are experienced in individuals’ daily lives. This article draws on ethnographic data to investigate in depth the migration experiences of thr…
