... 2) factors influencing stories and their reception, including post-hoc rationalisation; childhood memories; compensatory mobility; contact with those who left; everyday times, individual lifetimes, and institutional times.

I shed light on 1) the mechanisms that may underlie the potential influence of the experience over migration-related attitudes, norms, #aspirations of the non-migrants’ #descendants, including directly persuasive normatively loaded, migration-encouraging #narratives and neutral or migration-discouraging #stories though contributing to the perception of mobility as a social norm and leading to greater sensitivity to the subject, and ... 2/

more curious and open to new experiences, and more confident in social situations. We also demonstrate that the book effect increases with the respondents’ level of education. The paper concludes the series of papers on #family influences on migration intentions – the product of our w/ Artjoms Ivlevs cooperation initiated thanks to the Bekker NAWA Poland Programme. It was fun writing it! And it has been published on #InternationalChildrensBookDay – what a perfect timing!

Can exposure to #books influence individual spatial mobility? In our new paper w/ Artjoms Ivlevs, we show that library size in a #childhood home is positively related to adult #migration intentions. We argue that this positive link occurs due to childhood #reading, which is encouraged by the presence of books at home, and reading’s formative role in providing a simulative experience and making readers more aware of opportunities in other places,... 1/ @sociology doi.org/10.1093/migration/mnae011

exposure to immigration was measured with regard to the presence of non-CIS migrants.

In this paper, I ask if higher intensity of immigration into Russian regions is related to weaker sense of socio-territorial belonging and how this relationship depends on immigrant origin. I found some empirical evidence for the negative relation between exposure to immigration and individual sense of socio-territorial belonging (the frequency of experiencing a ‘we-feeling’ toward other inhabitants) at the local and regional level in Russia but this relationship was visible only when …

... the positive relationship between past family mobility experience and current migration intentions also holds when the past mobility experience was involuntary. A focus on the consequences of forced migration, where self-selection is less prevalent, brings us closer to testing whether ‘family migration capital’ indeed exists.

… intergenerational transmission of migration-driving characteristics rather than ‘capital’ derived from migration. By showing that descendants of people who experienced forced #displacement as a result of World War II are more likely to report an #intention to migrate than people in similar circumstances but without this kind of family experience, we demonstrate that ...

Continuing on the topic of #family influences on #migration intentions, in our new paper w/ Artjoms Ivlevs in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies we provide stronger evidence for the existence of ‘family migration capital’ transmitted across #generations https://doi.org/10.1080/1369183X.2023.2290443 Past work has relied on accounts of any migration experience, including voluntary moves, where greater propensity to move among migrants’ #descendants may be due to …. 1/
