*International Conference "Cultural Heritage in Migration"*
*Sofia, 15-16 June 2017*Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Alongside the issues related to migration policies, immigrants’ sociocultural adaptation and the functioning of immigrant networks in the receiving society, the intensive migration processes in the past three decades from Eastern Europe to West European countries and the United States pose in new perspective the topic of cultural heritage abroad, of its construction and maintenance in foreign cultural environments. Carried by the immigrants outside their homelands, this heritage is reconstructed in a specific way in the conditions of immigration and is a major factor in the formation and consolidation of immigrant communities. Depending on the time and circumstances of migration and on the immigrants generational affiliation, the introduction and acquisition of ‘native’ culture can begin already in the country of origin (through the family, school, media, etc.), but can also take place abroad – in family settings, in the communication with co-nationals inside the immigrants’ networks, through the contacts maintained in the home country or in relation to the work of institutions, such as schools, churches, cultural associations abroad, etc. In the process of acquiring ‘native’ culture and establishing sites and institutions for this acculturation, immigrant communities pass through different forms and levels of consolidation, interacting with the cultural heritage brought in the new environment, as well as influencing upon it
depending on the specific needs and sociocultural dynamics of the community. Immigrants not only use cultural heritage in their integration and consolidation (group or personal) strategies, but they also preserve in a particular way a range of important elements of the national culture – language, customs, beliefs, celebrations, folklore texts, etc. The latter play the role of core points in the individual and group identity of immigrants in the foreign environment, they are shared and pointed out in different contexts and are an object of maintenance and promotion through various community activities, media and social networks.

Trust is the currency that creates markets. This is knowledge of the merchants at the latest since modern markets have emerged along the medieval trade routes. Quality and reliability in the business are also
building blocks of trust and the assumption of responsibility for the social and ecological consequences of entrepreneurial activity. Whether the latter should be integrated into social and legal relations and norms in
the form of voluntary corporate responsibility, has been the subject of economic discussion since the beginnings of the discipline and since the separation of the spheres of economic and moral action in the Scottish moral economy.

*THE BURDEN OF INTRA-EU MOBILITY ON NATIONAL WELFARE SYSTEMS: BETWEEN MYTH AND REALITY*
Focal Issue to be included in no. 3/2017
*Guest Editors: Stefano Giubboni and Francesco Costamagna*
Abstract Submission: *Deadline 20 January 2017*
Manuscript Submission: *Deadline 15 May 2017*
Free movement of persons has become one of the most cherished and most despised features of the European integration process. On the one side, the combined rights to free movement, residency and equal treatment are unique in the world with regard to both its scope and political commitment to regional integration and solidarity (Geddes, 2008). On the other side, these rights face now strong opposition, as they are perceived as encouraging social tourism and posing an unsustainable burden on national social security systems. For instance, this perception dominated the poisonous and largely uninformed Brexit debate over migration issues.
The possibility that free movement, associated with equal access to social protection for the movers, could represent a cost for national welfare systems is not a novel concern and has been taken into account by EU
policy-makers. Indeed, according to EU law only workers and the self-employed enjoy full rights to residence and not to be discriminated against in access to social benefits.Conversely, economically inactive persons have the right to reside in the territory of another Member State only if they can demonstrate having sufficient resources for them and their families, plus health insurance. The objective is to avoid their becoming “a burden on the social assistance system of the host State”(Art. 7 Directive 38/2004/EC).

CfP: 2017 ESPAnet Conference - Stream 17: Health and social exclusion
We invite abstract submissions for the following stream:
*2017 ESPAnet Conference - Stream 17: Health and social exclusion*
*14th-16th September 2017, Lisbon, Portugal*
Plenty of evidence exists on the connection between health outcomes and socioeconomic status: there is a strong social gradient in health, meaning that people with lower socioeconomic status have poorer health than people with higher socioeconomic status. Many studies have contributed to our understanding whether poor health causes lower incomes or leads to unemployment (social selection) or, if lower socioeconomic status leads to worse health outcomes (social causation). Alternatively, a third factor, e.g. risky behavior, could cause both poor health and low socioeconomic status.

Visiting Research Fellows
The Birkbeck Institute for Social Research (BISR) welcomes applications to join the Institute as Visiting Research Fellows from established academics from outside the UK whose research is relevant to BISR.
*Our Approach to Social Research*
Bringing together researchers from across disciplines, our distinctively critical and socially engaged approach to social research can broadly be organised into five themes:
- social, psychosocial and feminist theory and methods
- social movements, citizenship, policy and participation
- subjectivity, intimacy, life-course and home
- place, nation and environment
- media, culture, communication and learning
Part of BISR’s remit is to foster interdisciplinary social research and we work within and across the disciplines of sociology, geography, politics, history, law, applied linguistics, communication and media studies, anthropology, education and social policy, and we have particularly strong commitments to the transdisciplinary fields of psychosocial studies, gender, sexuality and queer studies, development and post-colonial studies.
