Meanwhile, back in Latvia, the government appealed to Latvia’s residents to express solidarity with the state. This solidarity was to manifest as “tightening of belts” for the sake of collective flourishing in a distant future. Latvia’s residents were asked to endure, that is, to persevere with living even as resources for doing so were severely diminished. Those who could not endure the present in the name of a distant future left the country. In contrast to the emerging normative enduring subject, they variously became “traitors”, “Eastern European labour migrants” or, subsequently, “members of diaspora.”
In this talk, I consider endurance and migration as two forms of political agency in the context of post-crisis Europe.
First, I focus on the tension between endurance as a politically enabling perseverance of actual or desired lifeworlds in the face of hegemonic forms of power and endurance as a tool of government that co-opts people’s capacity for survival in order to implement fiscal discipline.
Here I am especially interested in tracing the conditions that make many people in Latvia willing to endure for the sake of a collective state-based future. Thereafter, I consider migration as a form of agency that works against the Latvian state’s attempts to make subjects endure, as well as is co-opted by the Latvian state as it labours to make diasporic subjects out of “traitors.”
In undertaking this analysis, I aim to use endurance and migration as lenses for thinking about emergent forms and subjects of politics in contemporary Europe.

Abstract
This paper studies the effects of assimilation on the health of Hispanics in the US. I exploit a unique dataset of linked birth records and use ethnic intermarriage as a metric of acculturation.
Intermarried Hispanics have a significantly higher socio-economic status than endogamously married Hispanics. Despite their higher socio-economic status and the positive socio-economic gradient in health, third-generation children of second-generation intermarried Hispanic women are more likely to have poor health at birth, even after I account for second-generation health at birth, employ only within-family variations in the extent of assimilation, and consider the endogeneity of intermarriage.
These results do not appear to be driven by father's selectivity nor by individual unobservable characteristics associated with intermarriage. The children of intermarried natives do not receive the same/ health penalty, nor do Hispanics intermarried to other ethnic groups. The intermarriage/ health penalty largely respects the higher incidence of risky behaviours (eg smoking during pregnancy) among intermarried Hispanic women.

Gabriella MelisIndividuals’ worldviews, values and attitudes are said to be acquired early in life from the family environment. Nonetheless, little has been said about individual-level mechanisms affecting intergenerational (in)congruence and individual conversion over time. My on-going PhD work aims to assess intergenerational transmission, as well as life course change/stability of attitudes towards authority. The research uses the sweeps in years 1975 (parents), 1996 (cohort members, CMs), 2000 (CMs) and 2012 (CMs) of the British Cohort Study 1970, allowing for the analysis of change at both the intra- and inter-individual level.
At present, and in line with the literature, the results show that parents’ authoritarian attitudes significantly predict their offspring’s attitudes in adulthood. However, the measurement model for the CMs’ attitudes to authority posits analytical challenges when looking at intra-individual change over time; these challenges and potential solutions will be discussed as part of the substantive interpretations of the models proposed.

The Possibilities and Limits of Movements Resisting NeoliberalismThe wave of protests instigated by the financial crisis in 2011 has already developed new tactical repertoires and targeted both economic and political elites across a wide range of national contexts.
In Europe, the loudest rallying cry has become ‘Anti-Austerity’, bringing mass protests against a seeming consensus among governments that stringent cuts to welfare and services are the only economically viable route to recovery. Early hopes among the left that the financial crisis might kick start a shift away from market-centric orthodoxies have been disappointed as it has become obvious that for those in power the answer to neoliberalism’s crisis is further neoliberalism.
Do these new movements offer anything novel in opposing this old enemy? Is this conflict purely motivated by defence of what is left of the welfare states? Does the current conjuncture raise new opportunities or pose new limits for resistance to neoliberalism?
Beyond Anti-Austerity? will be a roundtable event to elaborate and explore these questions and many others. Chaired by Gemma Edwards (UoM, Sociology), we’ll ensure there is plenty of time for discussion after opening contributions from our panel:
* Marianne Maeckelbergh (Leiden University, Anthropology): Can anti-austerity move from resistance to revolt?
* Colin Barker (MMU): What about the workers?
* Carl Death (UoM, Politics): Conceptualising resistance to neoliberalism: ‘counter-conducts’?
* Jamie Matthews (UoM, Sociology): What forms of action and identity are possible in austerity?
* Nadim Mirshak (UoM, Politics): Building counter-hegemony through education?

Subscribers to the New York Philharmonic in the Gilded Age: From Cultural Purity to the Cooptation of Culture
In this paper we use a uniquely gathered database of subscribers to the New York Philharmonic to explore how high culture participation worked to cement elite status in late nineteenth-century America. Our database has information on who subscribed to the Philharmonic between 1880 and 1910 – by many accounts a key period of elite consolidation in the U.S., and in the city of New York in particular. By exploring these data we seek to think anew about how high culture worked as an elite resource in that period. We argue both with and against the classic account of monopolization and exclusiveness of culture, showing how over the long Gilded Age the social elite of New York attended the Philharmonic both increasingly and in more socially patterned ways. Yet we also find that the orchestra opened up to a new group of subscribers who did not share the social practices, occupational background, or residential choices of more elite patrons. This shift away from exclusiveness, we argue, was made possible by the willingness of the social elite to increase the profile of concerts through the cooptation of a group of cultured, non-elite subscribers. It was also facilitated by the fact that the two groups would not mingle within the hall. We speculate on the implications of these findings for elite theory and cultural sociology. Finally, the paper makes a methodological contribution by suggesting how spatial analysis, typically reserved in sociology for the investigation of residential patterns, can be applied to study the relationships between multiple social spaces.

Emeritus Professor Peter Coleman, Psychogerontology, the University of Southampton – ‘Spiritual pathways in later life’
Religion has been identified as playing an important role in the lives of older people. Spiritual beliefs may themselves be an important means of coping with many of the stresses and pressures which face older people. But the role of religion may be undergoing substantial change with greater variation in views amongst old and young alike concerning existential questions about the meaning of ageing and death. This seminar will explore some of the key issues about the place of religion in the context of ageing societies, examining both the doctrines that underlie the churches’ engagement with older people, their contribution to wellbeing in later life, and the future role of the church in evangelising new generations of older people.

Translating social science into public policy: challenges and opportunities
Sociology at Manchester in association with MICRA
Social scientists can play a significant role influencing the direction of public policy. Researchers are now urged to demonstrate that their work has been taken up and used by policy makers, and practitioners, or has led to improvements in services or business. But getting social research into the public arena raises challenging issues in terms of changing dominant narratives around particular problems, influencing elite groups and opinion formers, and challenging vested interests. This Symposium will address these issues by taking two case studies of attempts to influence policy agendas, these involving issues around social exclusion in later life, and ethnic inequalities in health. The Symposium will also consider the broader debate around the 'public value of social science' and future developments in this area. confirmedHigher Education2014-12-0814:00:002014-12-0816:00:002014-12-0814:00:002014-12-0816:00:002014-12-0814:00:002014-12-0816:00:00Jill Stevensonmicra@manchester.ac.ukai5-i27it7ir-z481nwmicra180x180methods@manchestermethods@manchesterji6-i27it7iw-lxv4pn180180Register online for this free eventKanaris Lecture Theatre Manchester MuseumOxford Road

It contests one-sided images that depict traders from this and other conflict regions as immoral profiteers or international drug smugglers. The paper emphasises, rather, the active role these merchants play in an ever-more globalised political economy.
Afghan merchants forge and occupy critical economic niches, both at home and abroad: from the Persian Gulf to Central Asia, to the ports of the Black Sea; and in global cities such as Moscow and London, the traders' activities are shaping the material and cultural lives of the diverse populations among whom they live.
Through an exploration of the life histories, trading activities and everyday experiences of these mobile merchants, the paper shows that traders' worlds are informed by complex forms of knowledge, skill, ethical sensibility, and long-lasting human relationship.

Title: A desirable immigrant and a well-integrated immigrant: a policy preference divergence. Evidence from survey experiments in the UK and the Netherlands.
Authors: Maria Sobolewska, Silvia Galandini, and Laurence Lessard-Phillips
Abstract: The last decade witnessed shifts in policies of immigrant integration in most European countries thought to be multiculturalist, as the idea of multiculturalism came into disrepute for apparently failing to successfully integrate immigrants. Yet, the study of public attitudes towards integration still lags behind the study of preferences for immigrant restrictions. Using a conjoint experiment design, which allows measuring a complex, multidimensional opinion, we find that in both the Netherlands and the UK the public opinion on integration is divergent from opinion on immigration restrictions. While the public focuses on education and employment prospects in what kinds of immigrants their country welcomes, we see dominance of the social and cultural concerns in deciding if an immigrant has truly become ‘one of us’. We also find that integration attitudes are a matter of wide spread consensus among different social groups, people with different view of immigration, and across our two countries. Surprisingly, none of the main theoretical explanations of attitudes towards immigration seem to hold for public opinion on integration. An exception to this is the existence of the distinctive ‘liberal elite’, who place a greater importance on immigrants voting and showing liberal attitudes to women.

The prohibition on age discrimination in employment protects not only the basic human right to equality but also has a number of social and economic benefits for employers, employees and the state.
In a time of demographic and economic crisis, the protection against age discrimination ensures, in theory at least, that older workers can remain in employment and will be free from stereotyping and unjustifiable discrimination.
This seminar will address some of the most topical issues surrounding age discrimination in employment in the UK, the challenges presented by the many permissible objective justifications of discriminatory treatment and evidence of employer attitudes and practice towards older employees approaching retirement.confirmedHigher Education2014-12-1013:30:002014-12-1015:00:002014-12-1013:30:002014-12-1015:00:002014-12-1013:30:002014-12-1015:00:00Jill Stevensonmicra@manchester.ac.ukai5-i27it7ir-z481nwmicra180x180methods@manchestermethods@manchesterji6-i27it7iw-lxv4pn180180Register online for this free event2.07United KingdomGBGBRref:T1265http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/fass/law/profiles/mark-butlerDr Mark Butlerhttp://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/gary.lynch-wood/Mr Gary Lynch-Woodhttp://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/elaine.dewhurst/Dr Elaine Dewhursteven:h17j-i5o1ikkn-ayddviOrganise, Connect, Mobilise! The role of ethnic leaders and mainstream political elites in the mobilisation of ethnic minorities in Britain” Dr Silvia GandiliniThe presence of ethnic and immigrant communities in Britain has grown significantly over the past two decades. In this context, the debate about the integration of these communities into the civic and political life of the country has become increasingly salient. Political mobilisation of ethnic minorities by ethnic community leaders and mainstream political elites has been identified as one of the mechanisms that is likely to stimulate political engagement and therefore promote political integration. Yet, more research is needed to shed light on how mobilisation strategies are shaped by these two actors, both independently and jointly, and how these strategies vary across ethnic groups depending on their ‘group mobilisation capacity’ - i.e. the ability to create effective community organisational resources and leadership and to mobilise collectively to achieve a specific goal (Maxwell, 2012: 22).
This study aims to fill this gap and contribute to the debate on political integration by addressing three main areas of research: (1) Mobilisation by political elites: the mobilisation strategies developed by political elites, regardless of their connections with ethnic leaders; (2) Mobilisation by ethnic leaders: the grass-root mobilising role of leaders within their communities, which is not necessarily linked to political elites; (3) The interplay between elites and leaders: the two-way, collaborative process of mobilisation promoted jointly by leaders and elites. The study will adopt a mixed method approach including the analysis of existing national data (primarily to explore the mobilisation strategies of political elites – Area 1) and the collection of extensive qualitative and quantitative ‘social network data’ in a specific local area in Manchester. confirmedHigher Education2014-12-1015:30:002014-12-1017:00:002014-12-1015:30:002014-12-1017:00:002014-12-1015:30:002014-12-1017:00:00t17h-i5o1e1ui-zycqiSilvia Gandiliniw17i-i5o1e1ul-k84u6e180180Room 2:07Humanities Bridgeford StreetManchesterUnited KingdomGBGBRref:T1265POINT(53.466465 -2.236522)15even:q1x-i0if3f44-4p4bfgUniversality and Difference in the Sustainable Development Goals | Dr Graham Long | Newcastle UniversityPolitical Philosophy Seminar - 45 min presentation followed by Q&AconfirmedHigher Education2014-12-1016:00:002014-12-1017:30:002014-12-1016:00:002014-12-1017:30:002014-12-1016:00:002014-12-1017:30:00James Pattisonjames.pattison@manchester.ac.ukm7v-i0sdwd70-dz6py7MANCEPTw7w-i0sdwd71-ul4j8a100100Hanson RoomHumanities Bridgeford StreetManchesterUnited KingdomGBGBRref:T1265POINT(53.466465 -2.236522)15Newcastle UniversityDr Graham Longeven:adb-i0fb335n-keh06tAtmospheres - CALL FOR ABSTRACTSAtmospheres play a significant role in, and add an important quality to, our intimate, domestic and public lives, yet are often overlooked in social research, not least because of the methodological challenges involved in 'capturing' them.

Language offerings in Scotland are diverse and have their own acute sense of their situation. Some have a precarious hold, others are buoyant.
In a research and teaching context increasingly determined by league tables and ‘power rankings’ this paper will consider a variety of insecurities which have manifested themselves in the context of the Gaelic Language Act (Scotland) and in the changing landscape of modern languages, symbolically represented in the university sector, and through the new Curriculum for Excellence for Scottish Schools.
In particular it critically examines some of the less visible aspects and informal forms of language practices which thrive or survive in Scotland today. It does so by allowing debates about linguistic diversity and linguistic hospitality to intersect with discussions of ethnicity.
Drawing theoretically from Forsdick, Cronin (Cameron 1995; Cronin 2003; Cronin 2006; Cronin 2012; Forsdick 2005) and from post-colonial and indigenous scholars of languages including Tuhiwai Smith and Muehlmann (Muehlmann 2007; Tuhiwai Smith 2012) the paper considers the legislative environment with regard to language planning in Scotland and offers some theoretical ways forward.
