Article
Full-text available
Young, skilled and educated Italians have been emigrating in record numbers: About 160,000 Italians moved abroad in 2018 alone. While much of recent research focused on the economic drivers of this spatial mobility, this article explores highly skilled Italians' mobile life projects from a gender perspective. Our study was guided by the following r...
Article
Full-text available
This article explores high skilled migration from Turkey in Italy. The theme is very much understudied, but requires scholars’ and policymakers’ attention. Indeed, high-skilled migration is one of the main tenets of a globalised world where borders seem to be less relevant for qualified people. Further, high-skilled migration has caused large debat...

Article
Full-text available
In this article we analyse the flow of high-skilled migrants from Turkey to Italy, as two countries characterized by their inability to retain skilled labour. From a theoretical viewpoint, neo-classical theories would expect the migration to be a function of spatial disequilibria (for instance, pull and push factors with macro explanations). Yet, s...

How did women relate to space and time when working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? We contextualized women's relationships with their home spaces as they became nomads in their own homes during the lockdown. In face-to-face focus-group interviews conducted with 50 women who had experience with smart work or telework in Tuscany, Italy, we obs...

How can we guarantee that "extracting data" is realised most respectfully and reciprocally online? How can we receive the most relevant responses from the interviewee in online interviews? These questions have been even more pertinent during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper, we aim to demonstrate how the preparation of the research process that...

When first established in 1987, the Erasmus programme (rebranded Erasmus+ in 2014) aimed to encourage transnational collaboration between higher education institutions without involving national authorities (Ribeiro 2021).

My multicultural family is Bulgarian and Turkish, and has been Americanised via interethnic marriages. Within this story, the context is set by mixed marriages as well as the objects brought from abroad: the objects that my father brought from the USA, the records, in particular, reflect the Zeitgeist during his emigration perfectly. The acculturat...

The discussion regarding the integration of Syrians in Turkey most often suggests that integration policies are not in place and even if they were, they would not (be) sufficient. On the other hand, the temporariness of the settlement of Syrians in legislation and state policies is still evident. When we look at the integration of the resettled ref...

Young people are mobile across Europe and transnational mobility is seen as a differentiating factor enabling them to gain personal and professional experience. While relationships are seen as important for mobility, the relevance of personal networks to young people´s thoughts of moving abroad has not received adequate attention. Specifically, dif...

Full-text available
Even though intra-European youth mobility is valued as a boost for personal and professional development, few opt for it. While obstacles preventing young people to become mobile have been discussed broadly, less attention has been paid to the obstacles for the youth who are already on the move. We offer this rare perspective in regard to intra-Eur...

This study deals with the concept of Aegean in Motion and this concept’s conflict with migration policymaking in Turkey.

Temporality and space in literature and migration involves not only the theories on ideas of return migration, transnational migration but also the question of how permanent becomes temporary and how temporary becomes permanent.

The referendum result in Britain in 2016 and the potential loss of EU labour in the advent of a ‘hard Brexit’ has raised pressing questions for sectors that rely on EU labour, such as agriculture. Coupled with the closure of the long-standing Seasonal Agricultural Scheme in 2013, policymakers are grappling with how to satisfy on the one hand employ...

Emigration history and remittances are closely linked. The debate of remittances in terms of their effects in the host communities, if they contribute to wealth creation and under which conditions they continue to benefit the host state are all interesting issues to debate but none of these dilemmas reach absolute answers. In this paper the cases o...

Despite temporary migration programmes (TMPs) being heralded as achieving a triple win – whereby the host state, the sending state and the migrants themselves all benefit – the UK government has now terminated all such programmes, including the long-standing Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (SAWS). At the same time, TMPs have been heavily criti...

Question
Dear Researchers,
I have been trying to use the google forms to reach our interviewees (Italian emigrants abroad, graduates from University of Pisa, University of Florence, University of Siena and Universita per Stranieri di Siena, and we are looking for those who are under the age of 35). The google forms help us filter the ones we will need to be in contact with, so that we can start our qualitative research process.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to reach higher numbers in responses? Would be glad to hear from those who have distributed surveys and used google forms before?
Thank you very much!
best regards,
Sahizer Samuk.
