Juni 2013 Workshop: Job-related mobility and social inequality beyond national and transnational spaces Mobility is for some time already discussed as an aspect of social inequality, as the configuration of social relationships is significantly influenced by the access to local resources and thus to wealth, power and social capital in networks. On the other hand, mobility depends on economic and temporal resources, so that social inequality is reproduced continuously. In sociology mobility is often analyzed in terms of international migration. At the same time, the nation state is increasingly rejected as a theoretical frame, what leads to the rise of the transnationalism approach and concepts like methodological cosmopolitanism. Phenomenons such as daily commuting, weekly commuting, long-distance commuting, varimobility or frequently movers show that job-related mobility is becoming increasingly complex at regional and local level as well. Those movements beyond national borders were only rarely investigated in the context of social inequality processes so far, although their importance for this is obvious with reference to growing regional disparities and increasing flexibility requirements. In this workshop, theoretical and empirical aspects of inequality and job-related mobility phenomenons should be discussed. It can be illuminated how to overcome a methodological nationalism by focusing on lower levels in terms of a methodological localism. The following questions could be discussed. To what extent is job-related mobility an expression / indicator of social inequality? What are the differences in the (re) production of social inequality in different forms of mobility? What resources are needed job-related mobility? What burdens are associated with job-related mobility? Is job-related mobility used strategically as an instrument of social distinction? What societal effects can be derived? A parallel session lasts 2 hours and includes 4 to 6 presentations. If you would like to propose a contribution to the workshop-topic "Job-related mobility and social inequality beyond national and transnational spaces?, please submit a title, an abstract (maximum 2000 signs) and your personal details (name, institution/organization, address and e-mail). Contribution abstracts should include the research question, the theory and research context, the applied methods, and results. In addition key words and a bibliography (maximum of 10 references), should be included. The contribution has to be submitted to the workshop-organizers until February 28, 2013: knut.petzold@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. The organizers of the workshop are responsible for collecting the submissions and selecting the contributions to be included in the workshop. -- Dr. Knut Petzold Researcher in the Project "MOHSL - Mobility of High Skilled Labor" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research www.mohsl.de School of Economic Disciplines University of Siegen Interim Coordinator of the Research School of Business and Economics School of Economic Disciplines University of Siegen Guest Lecturer at the Institute for Sociology Chemnitz University of Technology __._,_.___Anexo(s) de nucleo interdisciplinar de estudos migratorios NIEM 2 de 2 arquivo(s) CfP - Job-related Mobility and Social Inequality.pdf CfP - Berufliche Mobilität und soziale Ungleichheit.pdf | através de email | Responder através da web | Adicionar um novo tópico Mensagens neste tópico (1) Atividade nos últimos dias: * Novos usuários 5 Visite seu Grupo [As opiniões veiculadas não expressam (necessariamente) a opinião dos organizadores da lista do NIEM] Para cancelar sua assinatura desse grupo, favor enviar um e-mail para: niem_rj-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To cancel your subscription to this group, please send an e-mail to: niem_rj-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx para enviar mensagens / to send messages: niem_rj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Trocar para: Só Texto, Resenha Diária • Sair do grupo • Termos de uso . __,_._,___
