People from Eastern Europe often experience discrimination in job centres in Germany. "According to a study (by @aleksandralewicki.bsky.social and colleagues), Ukrainian refugees are accused of social tourism in job centres. As a result, they are prematurely pushed into low-wage jobs."

In German: an explainer of structural patterns of East-West inequalities in Europe & how they underwrite the regulation of mobility to Germany - a country that has systematically recruited „cheap labour“ from its eastern neighbours.

Join us next Wednesday, 26th of Feb, 3-4.30 pm for a talk by SEI Visiting Professor @karinschersch.bsky.social: "Racism as a flexible symbolic resource: The usefulness of the concepts ‘symbolic violence’ and ‘undoing differences’ for the analysis of racism" - this is a hybrid seminar, all welcome:

Venue: Freeman (F39) (hybrid: to obtain zoom link, email lpsresearch@sussex.ac.uk with ‘SEI’ & the
name of the speaker in the subject line of your email)

Abstract: The talk discusses sociological perspectives on the dynamics of racism. Specifically, I propose to study racism as a 'flexible symbolic resource'. This concept will be developed in three steps. The first part will provide an overview of the contemporary conceptual debate on racism in Germany. This debate has been influenced by debates in Britain but also has its own idiosyncratic features. These are related to the German historical context and the specific use of the term racism in German academic and public discourse over the past decades. Secondly, the talk will introduce the main contours of a conceptualisation of racism as a flexible symbolic resource. Hereby, I combine a conceptual understanding of racism that draws on Stuart Hall with Pierre Bourdieu´s notion of 'symbolic violence' and Stefan Hirschauer’s thinking about 'undoing differences'. The third part will provide some empirical findings from two of my studies of racism as a flexible symbolic resource in different social contexts.
