We argue that in contexts of weak state governanc e\, trust in non-state actors\, such as the church or international organi sations\, could also be relevant.\n\nTo explore this\, we conduct face-to- face surveys\, each including a conjoint experiment\, in three border loca tions experiencing large inflows of Venezuelans: Boa Vista (Brazil)\, Cúc uta (Colombia)\, and San Fernando (Trinidad and Tobago). Results indicate that individuals with higher levels of trust in international organisation s have lower preference for communities with a closed door to immigration. \n\nThe findings suggest that a nuanced conceptualisation of trust that ac counts for non-state actors helps explain how public attitudes toward immi gration are shaped in settings of weak state governance. This implies that national-level or state-centric analyses are insufficient\, and that anal yses must be tailored to local governance settings to capture the role of non-state actors. Finally\, the results show that in regions with weak sta te governance\, international organisations may act as trusted intermedia ries to enhance openness to immigration.\n\nPlease join either in person o r online.

This talk examines this dual transformation thr ough two complementary perspectives. First\, drawing on a comparative anal ysis of elite sociology departments\, faculty profiles\, and national soci ology conferences in China and the United States\, it traces how AI has be en incorporated into sociological knowledge production across different in stitutional and societal contexts in recent years. The analysis reveals bo th divergent and convergent trajectories\, highlighting how scholars in th e Global North and Global South engage with AI in distinct yet increasingl y interconnected ways.\n\nSecond\, the talk demonstrates the research pote ntial of AI for sociology through an original case study modelling future societal instability across four countries. By integrating demographic and fiscal data with large language models\, we develop and evaluate predicti ons concerning the structural constraints facing welfare states through th e mid-twenty-first century. Together\, these analyses illustrate how AI is transforming what sociologists study\, how they study it\, and what futur es we might anticipate.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

LLMs are treated as lossy statistical compres sion systems operating over non-injective mappings from social meaning to text.\n\nOn this basis\, their appropriate uses are limited to supporting existing analytical work: improving clarity of expression\, surfacing text ual regularities\, and stress-testing arguments and assumptions. They are not sources of evidence\, explanation\, or social inference. Used within t hese limits\, LLMs can reduce linguistic friction without being mistaken f or epistemic agents.\n\nBiography:\nDaniel is a Senior Data Scientist and Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Social Science at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science. His research in the Centre is focused on t he development of robust estimation methods for social science and in the development of software libraries in Python and R to perform multiverse-ty pe estimations.\n\nAdditionally\, he researches the application of machine learning / deep learning models (e.g.\, BERT\, RoBERTa\, GPT-2) on social science problems like misinformation detection and characterisation on so cial media text\, and the characterisation of social movement emotions ove r time based on associated tweets. \n\nPrior to joining Oxford\, Daniel co mpleted his PhD in Computational Social Science at the University of Leeds \, and before that worked for several years as a quantitative analyst at t he Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. His general interests are rela ted to the use of machine learning methods to understand human behaviour a nd the application of novel methods for robust parameter estimation\, eith er using multiverse-type approaches or Bayesian / probabilistic approaches . \n\nPlease join either in person or online.

It is in this landscape that the violent victimisation of LGBT populati ons produces a puzzle.\n\nLGBT populations were not affiliated with a spec ific ideology\, nor were they inherently tied to any specific cleavage of the conflict. Yet many\, if not all\, paramilitary groups specifically tar geted them in a brutal manner. The ubiquity of their targeting proved to b e unique in the broader landscape of civilian victimisation by paramilitar ies. Thus\, while the form of this violence varied\, its occurrence did no t. In such a contested landscape\, why would paramilitaries expend time\, energy\, and resources to target a social minority with no clear ties to t he conflict? Why did this violence vary in its characteristics? And why di d it utilise so much brutality?\n\nThis paper presents a theory of wartime anti-LGBT violence through an exploration of Colombia paramilitary violen ce. To develop this theory\, I conduct a comparative analysis of two param ilitary groups. In doing so\, I explore the logics underlying wartime anti -LGBT violence and how they shape the repertoires through which this viole nce is enacted. Ultimately\, I argue that variation in anti-LGBT violence resulted from divergent paramilitary social transformation efforts in the communities in which they embedded. In developing a theory of anti-LGBT vi olence during war\, I contribute to existing efforts to document wartime s ocial processes that exceed clear political objectives\, reinforcing the i mportance of diverse perspectives in studies of contentious politics.\n\nB iography:\nSamuel Ritholtz is post-doctoral research fellow in politics at All Souls College.

In this paper I explore how Coloured history students in Johannesbur g think about their identity and place in South Africa\, and how this is i mpacted by the absence of any Coloured history in the South African histor y curriculum.\n\nFollowing 8 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a Coloure d school\, I suggest that students interpreted the absence of Coloured his tory as evidence of national exclusion\, while simultaneously developing h istorical identities that relied on narratives of abandonment\, gang affil iation and sexual violence.\n\nHowever\, this paper also explores how expo sure to Coloured anti-apartheid activists over the course of 8 months bega n to transform ideas of what it meant to be Coloured among history student s.\n\nBiography\nDr Natasha Robinson is a British Academy Postdoctoral Res earch Fellow at the Department of Education\, University of Oxford.

Prior work finds that Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) interventions are more effective on individuals with ex-ante higher voting propensities and might hence deepen turnout inequality. In this paper\, we formalise t he link between differential mobilisation effects and turnout inequality\, introduce a novel Gini-based turnout inequality measure\, and comprehensi vely answer if and when GOTV interventions increase or decrease turnout in equality.\n\nWe formally prove that\, where electorates are stratified\, i nterventions resulting in constant treatment effects\, or even in larger e ffects among higher voting propensity groups\, can reduce turnout inequali ty. To test the effects of GOTV on turnout inequality empirically\, we col lect the largest individual-level experimental dataset for political scien ce meta-analysis\, and estimate treatment effects within voting propensity bins.\n\nWe find that GOTV interventions are most effective on intermedia te-propensity voters. We then show that by reducing the over-representatio n of high-propensity voters\, GOTV reduces the turnout inequality Gini\, e specially in high inequality contexts. These findings revise established k nowledge on the link between voter mobilisation and turnout inequality\, a nd have powerful implications for democracy and the ethics of political sc ience experimentation.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

This study investigates the macro-l evel implications of migrant networks by developing a microsimulation mode l to estimate migration rates over time under different network scenarios. \n\nFocusing on Colombian migration to Spain (1962–2008)\, we use longit udinal data from the Latin American Migration Project combined with macro- level data on economic and policy conditions at origin and destination. Re sults show that network effects were essential to reproduce observed migra tion dynamics: without them\, migration rates dropped sharply.\n\nHowever\ , networks alone were not sufficient—macro-level conditions such as GDP growth\, employment demand\, and border stringency played a critical role. Community networks\, rather than family ties\, drove most of the observed aggregate effects. Our findings demonstrate the importance of integrating micro-level behaviour and macro-level context to explain international mi gration dynamics.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

While this trend has been extensively documen ted and debated\, its broader social and cultural consequences remain unde rexplored. In this study\, we investigate how declining religiosity has in fluenced shifts in Americans' attitudes towards key moral issues\, such as same-sex relationships\, abortion and euthanasia\, and gender norms.\n\nU sing the repeal of blue laws which prevented commerce on Sundays as an exo genous factor that reduces church attendance\, we identify the causal impa ct of reduced church attendance on public opinion on key issues. Our analy sis shows that declining religious service attendance\, induced by the rep eal of blue laws\, contributed to a more liberal trajectory in American mo ral attitudes in the late 20th century\, reshaping public perspectives on important moral issues.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

FiF students—those whose parents did not attend university but who t hemselves go on to obtain a degree—embody a critical form of intergenera tional educational mobility. Yet\, we know relatively little about how thi s group navigates higher education and transitions into the labour market. Furthermore\, there is limited understanding of how FiF status intersects with other forms of social disadvantage and individual characteristics.\n \nAs higher education policy increasingly seeks to promote social mobility and address educational inequalities\, examining the experiences and outc omes of FiF students is important for assessing the effectiveness of these efforts and for understanding the broader dynamics of intergenerational c hange. Using a large longitudinal cohort study\, ‘Next Steps’\, this p resentation outlines the characteristics of ‘first in family’ students in England from a generation born in 1989/90\, including prior education attainment\, other measures of family background\, ethnicity and non-cogni tive skills.\n\nIt will also document how the first in family students far e while at university compared to those students whose parents have a degr ee: including an examination of subject studied\, institution type attende d and whether they complete their degree or not. Lastly\, the presentation will explore how first in family graduates fare in the labour market comp ared to non-first in family graduates. \n\nPlease join either in person o r online.

However\, misperceptions of others’ opinions ma y sustain norms and conforming behaviour even if a majority opposes the no rm. Privately shifting individuals’ beliefs about true societal support may be insufficient to change behaviour if others are perceived to continu e to hold incorrect beliefs (“lack of mutual knowledge”).\n\nWe conduc t a field experiment with 5\,201 women in Kyrgyzstan to test whether creat ing mutual knowledge about social norms affects how perceived social norms influence behaviour. We show that providing information about societal su pport for female political activism alone does not affect women’s politi cal engagement. However\, when perceived mutual knowledge is created\, the effect of information about social norms increases significantly. Using v ignette experiments\, we show that the effect of mutual knowledge on socia l punishment is a plausible mechanism behind the behavioural impact. These findings suggest that higher-order beliefs about social norms are an impo rtant force linking social norms and behaviour.\nSpeakers:\nAnselm Hager ( Humboldt University of Berlin) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/990b7bcf-9a22-4200-912c-70f424bf40a0/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Mutual Knowledge of Social Norms and Political Behaviour - Anselm Hager (Humboldt University of Berlin) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Distancing the Past: Racism as History in South African Schools - Chana Teeger (London School of Economics) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250602T124500 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250602T140000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/e781d49e-056f-449b-9ec0-d37380edb9e4/ DESCRIPTION:Please join either in person or online.

Chana Teeger tackles this question by examining how young South Africans\, born into democracy\, con front their country’s racist apartheid past in high school history lesso ns.\n\nDrawing on observational\, interview\, and textual data\, she discu sses how students learn that racism is a thing of the past\, even as they experience it in their everyday lives. Teeger shows how teachers’ desire to avoid conflict between students mirrors a national focus on racial rec onciliation\, leading to the historical distancing of the recent apartheid past.\n\nThis historical distancing allows schools to present a façade o f transformation. Beneath the surface\, however\, the lessons reproduce un equal power relations at school and legitimise inequality at the societal level. In documenting these processes\, Teeger points to the subtle reconf iguration of racism in the era of civil liberties.\nSpeakers:\nChana Teege r (London School of Economics) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/e781d49e-056f-449b-9ec0-d37380edb9e4/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Distancing the Past: Racism as History in South African S chools - Chana Teeger (London School of Economics) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Intergenerational Differences in the Gender Gap in Political Engag ement Across Forms of Participation - Maria Grasso (Queen Mary University of London) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250512T124500 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250512T140000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/352711b8-419f-4714-9386-f0dc78eb0fc9/ DESCRIPTION:Please join either in person or online.

The existence of inequalities and gender gaps is concerning as it limits the possibilities of certain social groups to contribute to the public sphere and political decision-making.\ n\nWhile historically women have been understood to engage politically les s than men given their more privatised roles of reproduction and unpaid la bour in the home\, over more recent generations the gap with men should th eoretically be narrowing down over generations owing to a series of dynami cs linked to modernisation and societal changes.\n\nIn this paper\, we the refore focus on the socialisation component of the gender gap in political participation and study it across generations. We hypothesise that the pa rticipation gap should be narrowing down or even reversing if these dynami cs are linked to modernisation. Moreover\, we expect different types of dy namics for different types of participation. To examine these patterns\, w e analyse the available over time cross-national European Values Study dat a for a variety of Western European countries and applying age\, period an d cohort analysis.\n\nIn line with our expectations\, results show that th e gender gap in participation has closed or reversed amongst the most rece nt generations for all political actions studied except for party membersh ip. Education\, secularisation and liberal social values have a role to pl ay for explaining this pattern but each to different degrees for different types of political action.\n\nSpeakers:\nMaria Grasso (Queen Mary Univers ity of London) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/352711b8-419f-4714-9386-f0dc78eb0fc9/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Intergenerational Differences in the Gender Gap in Politi cal Engagement Across Forms of Participation - Maria Grasso (Queen Mary Un iversity of London) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Unpacking the Work and Family Life of Same-Sex Parents - Maaike va n der Vleuten (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250224T124500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20250224T140000Z UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/e77f75ca-e3b7-451c-84ef-2fc0300c7c37/ DESCRIPTION:My work seeks to uncover the sources of inequalities in the wo rk and family lives of same-sex and different-sex couples. This research h as two key objectives. For different-sex couples\, the transition to paren thood often amplifies gendered divisions of labor\, with women’s earning s and careers suffering the most. Existing research on different-sex coupl es explains these disparities through mechanisms such as pregnancy and chi ldbirth\, gender norms\, or financial motives. However\, these factors are difficult to disentangle because they are all correlated with biological sex in different-sex couples. By studying same-sex couples\, where such me chanisms are uncorrelated with biological sex\, my research provides new i nsights into the true drivers of gendered divisions of labour.\n\nSecond\, this work addresses gaps in understanding how male and female same-sex co uples organise work and family life after becoming parents. With the rise in same-sex partnerships and children growing up in these households\, it is essential to focus on work and family inequalities in same-sex families . I will show that differences in access to parenthood\, legal rights\, an d parental leave policies shape how these couples structure their family l ives and careers.\n\nTo address both objectives\, I study how parents from male and female same-sex couples and different-sex couples navigate paid work (child penalties) and caregiving responsibilities (parental leave and cash-for-care schemes) after parenthood. I use longitudinal register data from the Netherlands\, Denmark\, Finland\, Norway\, and Sweden (1990–20 21)\, which is the largest cross-national dataset on same-sex couples to d ate.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

What is less understood is how these increases in mortality have impacted trends and patterns in young children who have lost a parent. Th is talk discusses two recent projects that study different aspects of pare ntal loss by race/ethnicity in the United States.\n\nThe first project est imates youth experiencing parental death due to drug poisoning and firearm violence. We estimate that between 1999 and 2020\, over 1 million US yout h had a parent die by drug poisoning or firearms\, with non-Hispanic Black youth experiencing a disproportionate burden. Motivated by this finding\, the second project develops a Bayesian statistical model to estimate the years an individual can expect to live without one or more parents.\n\nDra wing on both survey and demographic data\, we find that people can expect to live almost half their life without a parent\, with important differenc es by race/ethnicity. This research contributes to understanding racial/et hnic inequalities of parental loss in the United States\, and develops new methods to quantify parental deaths in statistically rigorous ways while accounting for uncertainty.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

During this period\, academia was instrumental in promoting eugenics\, and eugenics was influe ntial in the development of several academic disciplines. Its popularity o stensibly waned during the late 20th century\, but eugenic ideology never went away\, and is now resurging.\n\nIn this talk\, I briefly consider the historical relationship between the academic discipline of demography and eugenics\, but mostly concentrate on the 21st century revival of eugenic ideology. I focus particularly on the issue of scientific racism – the m isuse of science to justify racial inequalities and hierarchies. Scientifi c racism aims to further the ideology that certain people and groups are i nferior to others\, a fundamental principle of eugenics. I end by discussi ng how academia can counter this exploitation of the research community fo r political ends.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

The mushrooming of these corp orate offices are relatively new in the Global South but these workplaces now employ significant numbers of middle-class and upwardly mobile men\, w omen and queer people\, and they represent various ideas of national ‘pr ogress’ and ‘development’.\n\nBuilding on queer-feminist sociologica l perspectives\, I critically explore the everyday gendered cultures of su ch corporate spaces and focus on the ways in which young men embody and cr eate their corporate masculinities\, and the many consequences these have for women and queer people in such corporate workspaces. I reveal how a po litics of gender\, class\, race\, caste and sexuality intersects and trans forms global inequalities to create a culture of ‘corporate machismo’ in the Global South wherein gendered and class anxieties and aspirations r elationally produce contemporary masculinities\, femininities and sexualit ies.\n\nThrough ethnographic observational data\, as well as qualitative i nterview data from long-term fieldwork in Johannesburg and New Delhi\, I e xplore how neoliberalism\, heteronormativity and transforming gendered rel ations are producing new and insidious forms of gendered inequalities\, he terosexist marginalisations and sexual harassment within these allegedly ‘modern’ workplaces. I offer ‘corporate machismo’ as an important analytic that brings together these classed and gendered anxieties\, aspir ations and transformations taking place in the Global South and their many consequences.\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

When the results were released\, I immediately r ealised that they were not plausible. My statistical analysis demonstrated that the numbers were inflated by people with poor English who misunderst ood the question\, ‘Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?’.\n\nI eventually persuaded the Office for Statist ics Regulation to downgrade the Census results—they no longer count as ‘official national statistics’—and to replace the flawed question wi th a clear one\, such as ‘Do you identify as transgender?’. This talk will summarise my statistical analysis which demonstrated the errors and m y explanation for why the Office for National Statistics adopted such a co nfusing question. The broader lesson is that statistical data always deser ve critical scrutiny. \n\nPlease join either in person or online.

However\, past research offers conflicting accounts of cross-nationa l variation in the strength of\, and mechanisms underpinning\, the interge nerational persistence of poverty.\n\nThis study investigates differences in intergenerational poverty in the United States\, Australia\, Denmark\, Germany\, and United Kingdom using administrative- and survey-based panel datasets. We decompose intergenerational poverty into family background ef fects\, mediation effects\, tax/transfer insurance effects\, and a residua l poverty penalty.\n\nIntergenerational poverty in the U.S. is four times stronger than in Denmark and Germany\, and twice as strong as in Australia and the UK. The U.S. disadvantage is not channeled through family backgro und\, mediators\, neighborhood effects\, or racial/ethnic discrimination. Instead\, the U.S. has comparatively weak tax/transfer insurance effects a nd a more severe residual poverty penalty. Should the U.S. adopt the tax/t ransfer insurance effects of peer countries\, its intergenerational povert y persistence could decline by more than one-third. \nSpeakers:\nZachary P arolin (Bocconi University) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/7dc1ac7a-be4b-4029-964b-1351e9cc2539/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:The Intergenerational Persistence of Poverty in High-Inco me Countries - Zachary Parolin (Bocconi University) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The migration of Hong Kong people to the UK: The role of social ne tworks in the migration decision and planning - Man Yee Kan (University of Oxford) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240520T124500 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240520T140000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/f849a8ec-7fc4-4039-bd78-9f73e6592933/ DESCRIPTION:Seminar 5 of Trinity Term's Sociology Seminar Series\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

Specifically\, this pap er investigates whether individuals’ social networks in Hong Kong and ov erseas are associated with their migration decisions and planning\, and ho w these associations might vary based on socio-economic factors such as oc cupation\, educational qualifications\, and home ownership status. \n\nRes ults show that individuals with higher levels of socio-economic resources are more likely to consider migration and tend to view social networks as an important factor in their migration decisions. Additionally\, having fr iends and family in the destination country increases the migration intent ion of individuals with lower levels of socio-economic resources.\nSpeaker s:\nMan Yee Kan (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/f849a8ec-7fc4-4039-bd78-9f73e6592933/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:The migration of Hong Kong people to the UK: The role of social networks in the migration decision and planning - Man Yee Kan (Univ ersity of Oxford) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Production and Trade of Substandard and Falsified Medicines: a qua litative social network analysis of transnational organised crime - Heathe r Hamill (University of Oxford) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240422T124500 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240422T134500 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/75a26c33-7d4c-4f2a-b6ba-66d19d3d462f/ DESCRIPTION:Seminar 1 of Trinity Term's Sociology Seminar Series\n\nPlease join either in person or online.

Utilising five years of data from top leagues\, it investigates whether meritocratic stratification exists amid intense competition\, immi gration\, and ethnic diversity\, using detailed player metrics.\n \nThis p aper examines ethnic earnings inequality in the top of European football. While sociological studies have previously focused on racial-ethnic gaps i n compensation among professional athletes (i.e. US-based sports such as b asketball and baseball)\, none have asked this question within the context of the largest and most lucrative sport globally. The professional footba ll market is characterised by extreme levels of national and international competition\, strong selection on (unique) skills\, immigration\, and eth nic diversity. It begs the question of whether these circumstances foster meritocratic stratification\, as opposed to other segments of the European labour market. The study makes use of five years of player and club data from the top male football leagues of England\, Spain\, Italy\, and German y\, totaling 11\,000 player-year observations (2018-2023).\n\nCrucially\, detailed variables on skillsets\, performance\, fitness\, context-specific experience\, firm tenure\, and ‘job tasks’ (i.e.\, positions or roles )\, which have been computationally derived from agencies and associations \, allow for precise measurement of players’ human capital. The precise measurement of the primary stratifier of earnings helps in isolating taste -based discrimination (i.e.\, prejudice) from statistical discrimination. Additional analyses explore whether earnings gaps associated with ethnicit y are correlated with various organisational structures\, such as firm\, c lub\, institutional and league characteristics.\nSpeakers:\nDirk Witteveen (Nuffield College) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/64fc8a63-9783-4c03-9d81-d8005c0a2bfe/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Ethnic Earnings Inequality in Football - Dirk Witteveen ( Nuffield College) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:What (or who) has changed?

Researchers delve into daily troubles and responses of residents following the technological\, so cio-economic\, and political shifts of the past 25 years. The paper reflec ts on theoretical and methodological questions raised by revisiting resear ch sites\, examining the impact of change on perceptions of harm\, securit y\, and place.\n \nWe have conducted two studies of the same research site – the town of Macclesfield in north-west England - a quarter of a centu ry apart. Macclesfield is a town of some 53\,000\, about 20 miles south of the nearest large urban centre\, Manchester. Our previous study of crime- talk in the town\, conducted between 1994 and 1996\, resulted in a book-le ngth account of how worries about crime featured in local social relations in the mid-1990s (Girling et al. 2000\, Crime and Social Change in Middle England). We returned in 2019\, following a quarter of a century of techn ological\, socio-economic\, cultural and political change that included th e digital revolution\, austerity\, migration\, Brexit\, greater climate co nsciousness\, and – shortly after we commenced our research - the Covid- 19 pandemic.\n\nWe returned with a view to using the town\, a place of rel ative affluence and relative safety\, but with its share of social problem s\, arguably a kind of English ‘Middletown’\, as a site for exploring what it means to be and feel secure in Britain today. We were interested in finding out what troubles afflict the daily lives of differently situa ted people across the town and what actions they take\, or demand from res ponsible authorities\, to deal with the things that threaten them. How mig ht we think about the relation between these two enquiries\, and what are the dilemmas of returning? How does change – in the place\, relevant soc io-political contexts\, the intellectual environment\, the trajectories an d outlooks of the research team – impinge on how we make sense of the re lation between harm (rather than just crime)\, everyday security and place ? In this paper\, we consider some of the theoretical\, methodological and substantive questions raised by our experience of these two studies and\, in so doing\, reflect on the value and limits of revisiting as a sociolog ical practice.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Ian Loader (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Seminar Room\, Department of Sociology TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/15c44586-43d3-4e3a-a2a4-10541c1a27ec/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:What (or who) has changed?

And how exactly did the veterans of these wars become one of the powers supporting the regime?\n\nThe paper shows how the interests of war veterans have been corresponding to\, conflicting with\, or existing in i nterplay with\, the interests of the state during the last three decades\, and how the wars made veterans continue building their self-identity in c ompliance with the narratives accepted by their comrades-in-arms.

One the one hand\, nearly one-third of the populati on in Hong Kong was not locally born and the majority is Chinese mainland migrants. The comparisons on children's achievements between migrant and n ative families are paid long-term attention by scholars. On the other hand \, outsourcing parenting to foreign domestic workers (FDWs) is a common pr actice in Hong Kong due to its high accessibility and affordability. Resea rchers and policy makers are concerned about the influence of FDWs on earl y childhood development (ECD)\, while it is still a controversial issue.\n \nTo examine the effect of parenting on children’s early development in Hong Kong\, this study randomly selected children aged 2~5 and adopted str uctural equation models in the analysis. The results show that children in migrant families performed significantly better on problem solving domain s than their counterparts in native families\, and there was a mediation r ole of parenting self-efficacy between parental migration status and child ren’s problem-solving competence. In addition\, FDW involvement is negat ively related to parent-child interactions and children’s self-regulatio n\, compliance\, autonomy\, affect\, social communication and interaction competence\, and parent-child interactions fully mediates the effect from FDW involvement on children’s social-emotional development. Nevertheless \, the negative relationship between FDW involvement and parenting practic es becomes weaker when family SES increases. \n\nBiography:\n\nFreda Yanro ng Wang is an associate professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Social Sciences in Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST).

To study them is a significant methodological challenge. But there is also a theoretical challenge: what is the relevance of a seemingly niche p opulation to broader sociology? This talk addresses both of these challeng es\, by tracing the development of a line of my scholarly inquiry: the eco nomic sociology of cybercrime. It includes three elements: 1) my entry int o the field of cybercrime research with my fieldwork on organisation\, coo peration and governance (Lusthaus\, Industry of Anonymity\, 2018)\; 2) ins ights from data collection involving 10 case analyses on closed cybercrime investigations\; 3) the detailed analysis of specific case studies with t he application of relevant theory from the economic sociology subfield.   \n\nBiography:\nDr Jonathan Lusthaus is Director of The Human Cybercrimina l Project and an Associate Professor in Global Sociology in the Department of Sociology.

Thereafter\, three topics are covered. One is the children’s perception s of how their gender impacts on what their parents aim to provide for the m. Second is children’s perceptions of inequality in the adult caregiver s’ everyday treatment of them vis-à-vis an opposite-gender sibling or c o-resident cousin. This includes inequalities in (1) the distribution of f ood and treats\, and access to daily items such as the television remote c ontrol\; and in (2) the allocation of household and farming chores.

How did these events transform colonial-era state elites? We theorise that the inexperienced le aders of revolutionary coups had to choose between purging threats and del ivering radical policies\, leading to important variation in elite turnove r and survival.\n\nTo illustrate our argument\, we trace the careers of 67 4 high-ranking officials in Egypt following the Free Officers' seizure of power in July 1952. A multilevel survival analysis shows that officials co nnected to Egypt's deposed monarch and very senior figures were most vulne rable to being purged. Experienced officials and those with university edu cation were more likely to be retained. Residual workplace effects suggest that a threat-competence calculation also operated at the ministry level. Triangulation with biographies\, memoirs\, and speeches corroborates the mechanism. The findings show why radical state-led change often requires a degree of elite-level continuity.\nSpeakers:\nDr Neil Ketchley (Associate Professor in Politics\, St Antony’s College) LOCATION:Ground-floor seminar room TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/1b4b8477-005b-46c8-bd20-c94550b66e6d/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Purging to Transform the Post-Colonial State: Evidence fr om the 1952 Egyptian Revolution - Dr Neil Ketchley (Associate Professor in Politics\, St Antony’s College) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Seminar: Do Children Perform Better in Religious Schools? - Prof Christiaan Monden (University of Oxford) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221107T124500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20221107T140000Z UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/2f0bbe1c-2795-4ef1-a849-d02c3807aabb/ DESCRIPTION:Seminar 5 of Michaelmas Term's Sociology Seminar Series.\n\nPl ease join either in person or online.
