Class, culture, and barriers to mobility -  Prof. Annette Lareau
In this lecture, Annette presents qualitative research revealing the nuanced ways cultural knowledge can be consequential in mobility journeys, based on research in the USA with a racially-diverse sample of young people from different class locations. This includes longitudinal data from two books she has written: one that highlights how young adults’ knowledge of navigating institutional barriers can have key consequences; and another that illuminates how organisations routinely made errors that thwarted the paths of refugees in Philadelphia from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She discusses the impact of these errors, particularly in the delivery of services, and how cultural knowledge was essential to untangling the “knots” that arise. Annette Lareau is Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, she is also a Leverhulme Visiting Professor in the Department of Sociology at the London School of Economics.

UCL IIPP SEMINAR: Does dual citizenship reproduce inequalities? With Dr Robtel Neajai Pailey
Drawing on rich life histories from over two hundred in-depth interviews in West Africa, Europe, and North America, Dr Robtel Neajai Pailey questions how citizenship is differentiated by class, gender, race, ethnicity, etc, and whether dual citizenship actually reproduces inequalities. She develops a new model for conceptualising citizenship within the context of ‘crisis’-affected states while offering a compelling critique of the neoliberal framing of diasporas and donors as the panacea to post-war reconstruction.
