... The results show us that the male respondents are on average more helped by the Church in the integration process than the female respondents. This result may be influenced by gender roles that are very closely related to religiosity, men are assumed to be more involved than women in the church and implicitly in religious organizations or associations, highlighting the direct relationship between religious values and gender rolesfor example, patriarchal attitudes are strongly associated with the Christian tradition (Urbańska 2018). Another possible explanation can be related to the changes generated by gender attitudes in the labor market where men find it more difficult to find a job in contrast to women who do better and have a better chance of finding a job in various fields (Urbańska 2018). ...

Previous studies show how religious affiliation and activity often facilitate the integration of migrants and their descendants, strengthens their sense of belonging, and increases their acceptance in the host society. However, the characteristics of immigrants who benefit from the church’s help in the integration process remain largely unknown. This article addresses this gap in the literature and analyzes the ways in which the Neo-Protestant Church supports Romanian migrants in their integration in the US. We use primary data from an online survey conducted in September-November 2021 and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2022 with Romanian immigrants in the US. The results indicate that the church provides extensive help to people who are involved in religious organizations or associations, and to those who frequently attend religious services.
... Urbańska studied religion as a potential mediator in gendered conflicts. Drawing on migratory processes, Urbańska argues that the revolutionary potential that arises at the intersection of migration, gender, and religion is not limited to changing gender orders in religious institutions at the societal level (Urbańska 2018). Drawing on experiences from Kenya and migrant destination countries in the global north, Urbańska further postulates that religious beliefs themselves influence migrants' everyday lives and challenge the existing gendered contract in lay areas, in work relations, and in civic and political participation. ...
... Men struggle with some of the consequences of migration and they tend to lose more in terms of their social roles and positions. The newly acquired positions mostly relate to their involvement with local religious institutions and public affairs in the host communities (Urbańska 2018). Another case of religious coping can be seen in occupied territories of Palestine. ...
... They highlight their role as caregivers in the families and, therefore, should supplement the family income. They use religion to convince the male members of the family that God is in control and will protect them as they fulfill His will (Urbańska 2018). Is is further noted by Williams (2008) that religion transforms and applies in every stage of migration. ...

Gender, religion, and migration are perplexing issues, especially in this era of the COVID-19 pandemic in which gendered and religious dynamics are emerging within migrant communities across the world. The relations between these three concepts are explored within this bleak time that has exposed previously neglected dynamics present in migrant communities living in distant host countries in Asia, Europe, and the United States of America. In this paper, we discuss the intricacies within religion and gender among migrant communities and the gendered impacts that COVID-19 has had on the aforementioned migrant communities. Through a secondary desk review analysis of the diverse emerging literature, we show that there are gendered implications of the pandemic measures taken by governments as migrant communities occupy unique translocalities. Overall, the intersection of religion, gender, and migration underscores religion reproducing gender roles among the migrants. The reproduction of gender in religious institutions disadvantage women amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis confirmed the trivial fact that migrant women continue to suffer disproportionately due to increased unemployment and disease burden coupled with religious practices that continue to advance the upward mobility of male migrants. There is a need to recast the place of migrant women in this era, and lastly, religion plays a renewed role among migrant communities especially for women who have enhanced their social positions and organizational skills through it.
... pól religijnych, których aktorami są szeroko ujęte religie (w tym religijne dyskursy, instytucje, czy tożsamości) (zob. Krotofil 2013: 53;Urbańska 2018;Goździak i Márton 2018). ...
... O wadze intersekcjonalnej perspektywy w ujawnianiu europejskich sieci dominacji, zwłaszcza na przecięciu tutejszych makrostrukturalnie rozumianych reżimów płci, pracy, religii i migracji, mówi się coraz częściej (Anthias i Cederberg 2010; Lutz i Pallenga-Mollenbeck 2012). Rozpoznanie, w jaki sposób płeć i religia krzyżują się z innymi społecznymi wymiarami, jak etniczność, klasa, rasa, pozwala uniknąć ryzyka homogenizacji, kolonizacji, czy orientalizacji doświadczeń migrujących kobiet i mężczyzn tylko na podstawie jednego wymiaru (Safuta 2018;Goździak i Shandy 2002;Urbańska 2018). ...

Co się dzieje w polskich organizacjach Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego poza granicami kraju? Organizacje te muszą działać w społeczeństwach pluralistycznych i wielokulturowych, o znacznym stopniu sekularyzacji, w których o wiele bardziej powszechne niż w Polsce są idee równości płci i emancypacji. Czy otwierają się na nowe egalitarne wzory, czy też konserwatywnie okopują i zamykają? Książka „Ponad granicami...” to próba zrozumienia, w jaki sposób, kto i dlaczego zmienia wzory płciowe w organizacjach Polskich Misji Katolickich w Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji. Autorki analizują praktyki, które służą podtrzymywaniu, gruntowaniu tradycyjnych podziałów płciowych, jak i różne subwersywne akty oporu migrantek i migrantów, które modyfikują segregację płciową, a nawet ją podważają. Pokazują również, że w sytuacji migracji, kiedy różnica płciowa zostaje wyeksponowana i tym bardziej palące staje się jej ponowne zdefiniowanie, rosną w siłę męskie religijne mobilizacje. Książka podsumowuje badania terenowe z lat 2016–2018, w trakcie których Autorki rozmawiały z wieloma świeckimi i konsekrowanymi działaczkami i działaczami PMK w Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji.
... Na znaczącą rolę migracji w budowaniu praktyk i tożsamości płciowych zwracają uwagę liczne badania prowadzone od lat osiemdziesiątych XX wieku, przy czym większość z nich kładzie nacisk na doświadczenia kobiet w tym procesie (Pedraza 1991;Avila, Parrenas 2002;Urbańska 2015). Jest to wynikiem szczególnego uwrażliwienia na kwestie kobiece po dekadach traktowania migracji w kategoriach neutralnego i "andocentrycznie ślepego" na płeć procesu (Hondagneu-Sotelo 2013: 234;Urbańska 2018;Leszczyńska, Urbańska, Zielińska 2018). W ostatnich latach pojawiają się również badania nad męskością i migracją. ...

W artykule analizujemy konstruowanie męskości przez polskich migrantów zaangażowanych w działalność polskich organizacji Kościoła katolickiego za granicą. Przedstawiamy wyniki badań, które przeprowadziłyśmy w latach 2016–2018 z aktywnymi religijnie polskimi mężczyznami migrantami, w trzech krajach: Anglii, Belgii i Szwecji. Ramą heurystyczną analizy jest koncepcja męskości hybrydycznej, rozumianej jako konglomerat społecznych praktyk i reguł społecznych wywodzących się z różnych wzorców płci. Pokazujemy, jak w procesie selektywnego włączania znaczeń przypisywanych np. kobiecości konstruowany jest nowy wzór męskości. Omawiamy, w jaki sposób religia staje się mechanizmem stratyfikacji i mobilności w ramach hierarchii płci. Osadzenie męskości w znaczeniach religijnych wynosi polską religijną męskość na dominujące pozycje w porządku symbolicznym.
... The existing studies primarily focus on and document activities of small, ethnic-religious organisations and assemblies of immigrants. Comparative analyses synthesising the accumulated knowledge are still scarce (Urbańska 2018). We attempt to fill this gap by analysing in-depth interviews with 97 lay and consecrated Catholic activists in 14 PCM organisations, in several cities in three countries: England, Belgium and Sweden. ...

The article examines the transformations of masculine formal (ordained) power in the Polish migrant religious organisations of the Roman Catholic Church. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews with 97 transmigrant women and men (consecrated and lay activists) involved in 14 Polish Catholic Mission organisations in England, Belgium and Sweden, the article gives an insight into various criticisms of patterns of priests’ patriarchal power in the Polish structures of the Roman Catholic Church. The analysis highlights how such power transforms in a transnational context when these organisations have to adapt to and function in more egalitarian, pluralistic and secularised Church organisational cultures than in the more patriarchal culture of Poland. We argue that the transnational context reinforces patriarchal models, albeit in a changed, hybrid form that we call ‘transnational compensatory patriarchy’. Our contribution to the discussion on the gendered transformation of power in transnational religious organisations focuses on two issues. First, we analyse the under-researched transformation of the patterns of masculine formal power in religious migrant organisations. Second, we show through a concept that we call ‘bargaining with egalitarianism’ how patriarchal power isomorphically (and hybridically) adapts itself to the more egalitarian context without losing its patriarchalism, which operates in the sending country. Therefore, we indicate the complexity and ambivalence of the transformation of masculine power by pointing to its intersectional sources and various ways of changing gender regimes.
... Bobako (2018) wiederum hat sich mit der steigenden Islamophobie und den antimuslimischen Diskursen in Polen beschäftigt. Urbańska (2018) gibt einen Überblick über die Bedeutung von Religion in der Migrationsforschung. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Studien, die sich fast nur auf die Bedeutung religiöser Institutionen und Organisationen konzentrierten, ist der Ansatz, sich auf die Erfahrungen und religiösen Praktiken von Migrant*innen im Alltag in verschiedenen sozialen Bereichen zu konzentrieren, relativ neu in der Migrationsforschung (116). Urbańska bezieht sich vor allem auf Gender und Religion in (trans-)migrationalen Prozessen und unterstreicht damit einen relevanten Aspekt: Die Sozialwissenschaften zeigen eine starke Skepsis gegenüber der Rolle und dem Einfluss von Religion im Alltag, auch weil, so die These der Autorin, diese in einer säkularen Tradition stehen. ...

Zusammenfassung Schulen geben nicht nur Wissen an Schüler*innen weiter, sondern sind auch Orte, an denen Gruppenidentitäten gebildet werden und an denen gesellschaftliche Einstellungen, Konflikte und Diversität reproduziert werden. Ebenso finden in Schulen Unterscheidungen statt, die zu Ungleichheiten und Ausgrenzungen führen können. Das Konzept der symbolischen Grenzziehung ist für die Analyse dieser Gruppenidentitäten und der sie trennenden Grenzen fruchtbar. Bisherige Forschungen haben gezeigt, dass in von Migration geprägten Gesellschaften Religion zu einer zentralen Kategorie für solche Grenzziehungen geworden ist. Der vorliegende Beitrag fokussiert auf Konflikte und Kontroversen im Bildungskontext – in deutschen Schulen – entlang religiöser Zugehörigkeiten von Schülern. Dabei analysiert der Artikel Interviews mit Lehrkräften, in denen pädagogische Praktiken als eine Form der Grenzziehung zum Ausdruck kommen. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, was Aspekte der Grenzziehung in pädagogischen Unterrichtspraktiken sind (wenn Religion und Migration im Unterricht impliziert werden). Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Übersetzung der schwierigen Lehrkraft-Schüler*in-Interaktion versucht, den Raum für didaktische Prinzipien zu öffnen, aber auch in manifeste Grenzziehung umschlägt, um Autorität zu erlangen. Das Material wurde in zwei Schritten analysiert: Zunächst wurden halboffene Experteninterviews nach der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse kodiert, welchem sich eine Tiefenanalyse ausgewählter Interviewsegmente anschließt.
... They also bear witness to numerous moral restrictions (of control and suspicion) regarding free time and ubiquitous pressures on the display of maternal respect and self-sacrifice, also self-enforced by migrants themselves. An attractive thesis on retraditionalization would also fit well into a contemporary trend of international research, which focuses on showing bipolar directions of gender change in particular areas -unfortunately usually presented separately and fragmentarily -such as work, intimacy, religion and care (see Urbańska 2018). ...

The aim of the article is to analyse social change in the area of the gendered care practices and identities of migrant mothers, who were forced by the social and economic situation in Poland to (illegally) work abroad without their children and families. It asks what kind of experiences of social change we can find if we look at the foodways practised by transnational mothers from the working classes. The concepts of "transnational maternal foodways" and "maternal bustling around foodways" will be used as tropes to discuss and explore the gendered changes in motherhood experienced by Polish migrants. The analysis presented here is based on the results of extensive fieldwork conducted both in the villages and small towns of Eastern Poland and in Belgium (particularly in its capital, Brussels), and on 54 autobiographical narrative interviews with Polish women who, during the two decades after the fall of socialism in Poland (1989–2010), worked permanently or cyclically abroad. The analysis combines critical food studies with gender and migration studies.

The chapter provides an overview of the practices and strategies of three migrant communities in Poland (Vietnamese, Muslim, and Ukrainian) that negotiate their belonging to urban space through their religious institutions. It shows how pagodas, mosques, and Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches become loci of debates and conflicts focused on belonging to and exclusion from the metropolitan setting of Warsaw; the Polish society and politics; and the broader category of Europe. Overall, the chapter shows the double role of migrant religious institutions. On the one hand, they deviate from the homogenous scenery dominated by the omnipresence of the Roman Catholic Church and contribute to the alleged “otherness” of migrants. On the other hand, as we argue, exposing the cultural diversity of migrants contributes to the heterogenization of the society and therefore is perceived as an asset of the “Europeanization” of Poland.

“The tragedy of the commons” is a well-known phrase that has captured people’s imaginations for generations. Unfortunately these few but powerful words have been used to justify the enclosure and erasure of many well-functioning commons that benefit both people and the environment. Less well-known is Garrett Hardin’s qualification in 1998—some 30 years after he coined the original phrase—that "To judge from the critical literature, the weightiest mistake in my synthesizing paper was the omission of the modifying adjective 'unmanaged'" (682). What Hardin had presented in his original work was an open access and unmanaged pasture where there was no community that cared for the fields, took responsibility for them, organized herder access, negotiated grazing use and oversaw the distribution of benefit to community members (1968). It would be fair to say that Hardin’s pasture bears little resemblance to the commons that researchers such as Elinor Ostrom (e.g. 1990) have meticulously documented, commons that have rules or protocols for access and use, and are cared for by a community which takes responsibility for the commons and distributes the benefits. Today the planet faces a genuine tragedy of the unmanaged “commons.” For decades an open access and unmanaged resource has been treated with the same sort of disregard as Hardin’s pasture was treated. The planet’s life-supporting atmosphere has been spoiled by “‘help yourself’ or ‘feel free’ attitudes” (Hardin 1998: 683). We are now faced with the seemingly impossible task of transforming an open access and unmanaged planetary resource into a commons which is managed and cared for. With the cause and impacts of global warming now beyond debate, we are being pressed to take responsibility and to act in new ways. But how are we to do this? What type of politics is called for? In this chapter we explore how the process of commoning offers a politics for the Anthropocene. To reveal the political potential of commoning, however, we need to step outside of the ways that the commons have generally been understood. One predominant framing positions the commons in relation to capitalism, as Kevin St Martin writes: "It would seem that all of our stories of the commons revolve around a capitalist imaginary: capitalism’s origin in the enclosure of the commons, capitalism’s commodification of natural resources, capitalism’s expansion and its penetration of common property regimes globally, and capitalism’s most recent push to privatize remaining common property resources via neoliberal policies at a variety of scales" (2005: 63). We discuss this capitalocentric framing of the commons in the first section and raise concerns about how this framing limits the potential of commoning as a politics for the Anthropocene. In the second section we discuss a second predominant framing of commons as a “thing” that is associated with publically owned or open access property. Instead we argue that commons can be conceived of as a process—commoning—that is applicable to any form of property, whether private, or state-owned, or open access. We then turn to three examples from the past and the present that provide insights into ways of commoning the atmosphere. We reveal how a politics of commoning has been enacted through assemblages comprised of social movements, technological advances, institutional arrangements and non-human “others.” In the final section we discuss the implications of this understanding of politics and particularly what it means for understanding how transformation occurs.

This article aims to approach the construction of gender in transnational spacesby focusing on the ritual practice of African Pentecostal migrants in Europeand in Africa. One dimension of African Pentecostalism is its insistence on thepractice of exorcism called ‘deliverance’ where malevolent spirits are expelledfrom one’s body. Within the Pentecostal demonology, several categories ofspirits carry implications for how gender is constructed. This article will analyseeffects of the appearance of these spirits on the construction of genderamong Ghanaian and Congolese Pentecostal churches in Geneva and in Accra.It will show that variations in the appearance of spirits within rituals can beinterpreted as a negotiation of gender roles in a migratory context. Shifts inPentecostal demonology can therefore be interpreted as a response to thereconfiguration of gender roles associated with the broader gender contextand work opportunities in Europe.

Building on arguments made by Grasmuck and Pessar (1991), Hardy-Fanta (1993), and Hondagneu-Sotelo (1994), among others, this article makes the case for a gendered understanding of immigrant political socialization. Looking at recent Latin American immigrants to New York City, the article argues that immigrant Latino men are more likely to favor continuity in patterns of socialization and organization, and immigrant Latinas are more likely to favor change. This finding helps bridge theoretical and empirical literatures in immigration studies, applying the logic of gender-differentiated decisionmaking to the area of immigrant political socialization and behavior.

The past two decades have witnessed a sea change in migration scholarship. Most scholars now recognize that many contemporary migrants and their predecessors maintain various kinds of ties to their homelands at the same time that they are incorporated into the countries that receive them. Increasingly, social life takes place across borders, even as the political and cultural salience of nation-state boundaries remains strong. Transnational migration studies has emerged as an inherently interdisciplinary field, made up of scholars around the world, seeking to describe and analyze these dynamics and invent new methodological tools with which to do so. In this review, we offer a short history of theoretical developments, outlining the different ways in which scholars have defined and approached transnational migration. We then summarize what is known about migrant transnationalism in different arenas - economics, politics, the social, the cultural, and the religious. Finally, we discuss methodological implications for the study of international migration, present promising new scholarship, and highlight future research directions.

Politics of Piety is a groundbreaking analysis of Islamist cultural politics through the ethnography of a thriving, grassroots women's piety movement in the mosques of Cairo, Egypt. Unlike those organized Islamist activities that seek to seize or transform the state, this is a moral reform movement whose orthodox practices are commonly viewed as inconsequential to Egypt's political landscape. Saba Mahmood's compelling exposition of these practices challenges this assumption by showing how the ethical and the political are indelibly linked within the context of such movements. Not only is this book a sensitive ethnography of a critical but largely ignored dimension of the Islamic revival, it is also an unflinching critique of the secular-liberal assumptions by which some people hold such movements to account. The book addresses three central questions: How do movements of moral reform help us rethink the normative liberal account of politics? How does the adherence of women to the patriarchal norms at the core of such movements parochialize key assumptions within feminist theory about freedom, agency, authority, and the human subject? How does a consideration of debates about embodied religious rituals among Islamists and their secular critics help us understand the conceptual relationship between bodily form and political imaginaries? Politics of Piety is essential reading for anyone interested in issues at the nexus of ethics and politics, embodiment and gender, and liberalism and postcolonialism. In a substantial new preface, Mahmood addresses the controversy sparked by the original publication of her book and the scholarly discussions that have ensued.

Research into the distribution of power in the family and its consequences for family conflicts among immigrants in Sweden is limited and problematic. The situation varies greatly between immigrants from different countries and cultures and of different social backgrounds. We know that, generally, family conflicts and separation among Iranians and other immigrant groups are more common than among Swedes. Why is this? ls it the poor socioeconomic situation of immigrants the main cause of the high frequency of separation? Or is it the cultural differences between the immigrants’ land of origin and Sweden? The question might also be connected to gender relations in immigrant families. Is there, for instance, any difference between men’s and women’s experiences of immigration which affects their power resources and thereby their family relations? How can we explain that it is often the women who take the initiative for the divorce? Is immigration only a problem or can it also be an opportunity? This article describe and analyze how immigration has influenced the distribution of power within Iranian families in Sweden, and the significance of these changes for the origin of family conflicts and conflicts of interest, which in many cases lead to separation. The inquiry concentrates on the Iranian immigrant group, which is the largest group of immigrants which comes from an Asian and Islamic country and of which the majority are refugees. These factors make it possible to get a clearer picture of the effects of immigration on the situation of women among those who came to Sweden with other values and experiences than those of Swedes.

Contrary to popular opinion, increasing numbers of migrants continue to participate in the political, social, and economic lives of their countries of origin even as they put down roots in the United States. The Transnational Villagers offers a detailed, compelling account of how ordinary people keep their feet in two worlds and create communities that span borders. Peggy Levitt explores the powerful familial, religious, and political connections that arise between Miraflores, a town in the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood in Boston and examines the ways in which these ties transform life in both the home and host country. The Transnational Villagers is one of only a few books based on in-depth fieldwork in the countries of origin and reception. It provides a moving, detailed account of how transnational migration transforms family and work life, challenges migrants' ideas about race and gender, and alters life for those who stay behind as much, if not more, than for those who migrate. It calls into question conventional thinking about immigration by showing that assimilation and transnational lifestyles are not incompatible. In fact, in this era of increasing economic and political globalization, living transnationally may become the rule rather than the exception.
