Inhalt: Interaktionen zwischen männlichen Geflüchteten und alteingesessenen Frauen werden seit den sexuellen Übergriffen in der Silvesternacht 2015 in Köln als problematisch gefasst. Hier wird ein Zugang zur geschlechterübergreifenden Interaktion gewählt, der von positiven Alltagskontakten ausgeht, nämlich der Interaktion zwischen Geflüchteten und ehrenamtlich für sie Engagierten. Leitfadengestützte Interviews mit 26 ehrenamtlich Engagierten werden in Anlehnung an die Grounded Theory analysiert. Die aus dieser Analyse heraus entwickelte Kernkategorie "Separierung der Geschlechter" verweist vor allem auf herkunftskulturelle Zuschreibungen und/oder Sozialisation, aber auch auf weiblich dominierte Unterstützungsnetzwerke und auf geschlechtertrennende Angebote für Geflüchtete. Diese Separierung der Geschlechter führt zu Unsicherheiten bei geschlechterübergreifenden Interaktionen, insbesondere beim Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz. Das Ansetzen von kultureller Differenz wird in der Literatur skeptisch betrachtet. Kritisiert werden ein homogenisierender, statischer und deterministischer Kulturbegriff sowie die Reproduktion und Verstärkung von Vorurteilen und Stereotypen. Dennoch, in der Rekonstruktion von Interaktionen durch die befragten Engagierten spielt kulturelle Differenz eine entscheidende Rolle.

Inhalt: Die südafrikanische Migrationsforschung hat der Beziehung von Migranten zu ihren Familien und insbesondere den emotionalen und kognitiven Aspekten dieser Beziehung im Lichte von Gender-Transformation bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Ausgehend von einer qualitativen Studie, an der sechs simbabwische Migranten, die in Johannesberg leben, und drei derer in Simbabwe verbliebenen Frauen teilnahmen, versuche ich zu zeigen, welche Potenziale und Hemmnisse aus transnationaler Migration für die Rekonstitution gender-normativer Beziehungen in solchen Familien erwachsen: Die Analyse der Interviews mit den Migranten und ihren Frauen verdeutlichte, dass Letztere -obwohl mütterliche und väterliche Rollenbilder im Zuge transnationaler Trennung immer verschwommen werden- angesichts erheblicher häuslicher Herausforderungen gender-normative Erwartungen an ihre abwesenden Männer richten. Auf diese Weise werden gender-normative Erziehungsstile in diesen transnational getrennten Familien intensiviert. (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: Migration research in Southern Africa has paid little attention to migrant men's involvement in the family, including their emotional and cognitive work, as well as associated gender transformations. Based on a qualitative study of six Zimbabwean migrant fathers in Johannesburg and three non-migrant women in Zimbabwe, this article argues that transnational migration at once presents opportunities for and obstacles to the reconstitution of gender-normative forms of parental involvement in migrant families. The analysis of the narratives of migrant men and their spouses demonstrates that, although maternal and paternal roles may become considerably indistinct in the context of transnational separations, non-migrant women may emphasize gender-normative expectations in their negotiations with distant fathers when faced with huge responsibilities at home. Such negotiations tend to reinforce gender-normative parenting in transnational split families. (author's abstract)

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are": questioning the "outsider" in Polish migration research

Inhalt: In diesem Artikel diskutiere ich die Erfahrungen aus der Forschung über polnische Migration nach Schottland aus der Perspektive vermeintlicher "outsider". Ich plädiere für eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Insider/Outsider-Dichotomie, weil diese nicht die Komplexität der multiplen Intersektionalitäten im Forschungsprozess widerspiegelt. Der Beitrag basiert auf biografisch-narrativen Interviews mit jungen Pol/innen, die in Edinburgh leben, zu der Erfahrung von Mobilität innerhalb der EU. Während meines Zusammentreffens mit ihnen im Laufe der Interviews wurden Migrationsnarrative offengelegt, die die Unterscheidung von "Forscher/in" und "Beforschten" verwischten. Insbesondere richtet sich der Fokus des Artikels auf die Schnittstellen von Gender, Klasse und Nationalität. Damit wird gezeigt, wie verschiedene Positionalitäten reflexiv konstruiert und konfrontiert werden: Das Interview ist ein kreativer Prozess, in dessen Verlauf im Dialog Narrative verhandelt werden, wodurch körperliche Performanzen und nicht-kognitive Assoziationen die multiplen Intersektionalitäten beider Parteien ans Tageslicht bringen. In diesem Prozess wird die Binarität von Insider/Outsider infrage gestellt. Der Beitrag analysiert die Brauchbarkeit dieser Dichotomie als Rahmen zum Verständnis der Forschungsbeziehung.

Inhalt: This article offers a reflexive account of conducting research on Polish migration to Scotland from the perspective of the "outsider". The contribution argues for a revision to the insider/outsider dichotomy viewing it as inadequately nuanced in relation to the multiple intersectionalities performed through the research encounter. It is based on data collected from biographical-narrative interviews with Polish young people living in Edinburgh, Scotland. The article explores the interview encounter between an English researcher and Polish young people about the experience of EU mobility and argues that as migration narratives unfold the distinctions between the "researcher" and the "researched" blur. In particular, I focus on the intersections of gender, class and nationality to show how different positionalities are negotiated and confronted through reflexivity. The interview is a creative process involving co-construction of narratives through dialogue, embodied performances and non-cognitive associations that draw out the multiple intersectionalities of both parties. Through this process the binary of insider/outsider is called into question and this article examines the usefulness of this dichotomy as a framework for understanding the research relationship.(author's abstract)
The Male Au Pair: "Doing Masculinity" by Performing Housework and Providing Childcare

Inhalt: Male au pairs responding to the "call for more men" in private and professional childcare have gained some popularity in recent years. Au pairs, both male and female, are positioned in hybrid work settings in that they not only perform housework and provide childcare, but living with families also assume roles of family members. Drawing on the concept of "doing gender", the article compares how the position of male and female au pairs is constructed by allocating specific duties to them, and how men's suitability for au pairing is legitimized. It is shown that, because a gendered division of family work continues to be the prerequisite for "doing gender", male au pairs perform only housework that is compatible with hegemonic masculinity, and that this is inherent in their main duty of functioning as male role models to aid in the socialization of the families' children when the children's fathers fail to fulfill this role.

Transnational Social Protection: An Emerging Field of Study

Inhalt: How do the efforts at social protection by cross-border migrants impact upon social inequalities? While the 'old' social question between workers and capitalists was addressed within the frames of national welfare states and social policies from the late nineteenth century onwards, the 'new' social question - running along diverse lines of inequalities, such as gender, class, ethnicity and religion - has implications far beyond national borders since flows of persons, goods, capital and services are transnational. Migrations are of particular relevance for understanding the transnational social question because they link the disparate and fragmented worlds of unequal life chances and social protection. Of particular interest is the question of how cross-border social protection involving migrants results in the reinforcement of existing inequalities, e.g. between regions and within households, and creates new lines of inequalities. This state of affairs necessitates a rethinking of national social citizenship and its significance for the legitimation of social inequalities.

Finding one's place: shifting ethnic identities of recent immigrant children from China, Haiti and Mexico in the United States

Inhalt: This article examines the ethnic identity adaptations of recently-arrived immigrant children from China, Haiti, and Mexico. Overall, three main types of ethnic identity categories emerged: country of origin (e.g., Chinese), hyphenated (e.g., Chinese American), and pan-ethnic (e.g., Asian or Asian American). These three ethnic identities were examined to assess their relationships with various social and structural variables. While most of the participants retained their country-of-origin label throughout the five-year longitudinal study, a significant number of them showed divergent paths of ethnic identity shifts and formations. As a whole, only gender, annual household income, and parental educational level were significantly associated with different ethnic identity changes. Analyzed separately by national groups, Chinese participants’ ethnic identity adaptations were influenced by parental educational level, and Haitian and Mexican participants by gender. Potential explanations for the various ethnic adaptations are examined and limitations of the study discussed.

Inhalt: In European public debates, Islam is often described as an impediment to gender equality. By using data from surveys conducted in Germany, we analyze the role of high levels of individual religiosity in explaining Turks' and Germans' approval of gender equality and the way Turkish and German couples share household tasks. Results suggest that for both groups, individuals with strong religious commitments are less likely than secular ones to hold egalitarian gender role attitudes. At the behavioral level, this correlation between religiosity and gender egalitarianism only holds true for Turkish respondents. Furthermore, strong religious commitments contribute to generational stability in attitudinal and behavioral gender-traditionalism among Turks. However, when explaining Germans' more egalitarian gender-related attitudes and behaviors, religiosity turns out to be just one factor among others – and not a particularly important one. Further research is needed to disentangle the different cultural and religious aspects of Muslim migrants’ attitudes and behaviors.
