Around 5.6 million British nationals live outside the United
Kingdom: the equivalent of one in every ten Britons. However,
social science research, as well as public interest, has tended to
focus more on the numbers of migrants entering the UK, rather than
those leaving. This book provides an important counterbalance,
drawing on the latest empirical research and theoretical
developments to offer a fascinating account of the lives,
experiences and identities of British migrants living in a wide
range of geographic locations across Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australasia. This collection asks: What is the shape and
significance of contemporary British migration? Who are today's
British migrants and how might we understand their everyday lives?
Contributions uncover important questions in the context of global
and national debates about the nature of citizenships, the 'Brexit'
vote, deliberations surrounding mobility and freedom of movement,
as well as national, racial and ethnic boundaries. This book
challenges conventional wisdoms about migration and enables new
understandings about British migrants, their relations to
historical privileges, international relations and sense of
national identity. It will be valuable core reading to researchers
and students across disciplines such as Geography, Sociology,
Politics and International Relations.
Expatriate Identities in Postcolonial Organizations offers a timely
and contemporary discussion of the role of organizations in
maintaining or challenging structures and cultures based on racism
and discrimination. It offers a key exploration of the relations
between whiteness, identity and organization in migratory contexts.
It delves into the experiences of expatriates in Hong Kong and the
ways in which new identities are constructed in the destinations of
migration by exploring the renegotiation of white identities and
racialized relationships, and the extent to which colonial
imaginations still inform contemporary organizations. By drawing on
existing theoretical and empirical material on post-colonialism,
identity-making, privileged migration, relocation, transnational
work and organizations, this volume brings disparate discussions
together in a new and accessible way. It will appeal to a range of
sociology scholars as well as to those working in the fields of
migration, gender studies, and cultural geography.

Values and ethics have traditionally been considered an important influence on administrative practices, and are typically included as a component of core courses in department of educational administration in the US, Canada and Australia. The recent resurgence of interest among practitioners in the topic of values and ethics as a guide to action increases the importance and appeal of this book of readings. This comprehensive book extends beyond the presentation of 'expert opinion' and appeals to an audience of academics and practitioners working at the policy level of educational organisations. Theory building, policy applications and praxis are addressed in this highly adoptable book by leading scholars in the field.

Based on up to date qualitative and ethnographic research, this
book examines youth education-to-work transitions in the UK. Using
the theoretical lens of a Foucauldian governmentality approach, the
authors consider the 'why' and 'how' of youth employability
training and demonstrate how different employability schemes
planned and operationalized in diverse geographical and economic
landscapes work in practice. The book examines and compares a range
of employment entry route programmes and reveals the tension
between employability and good-quality employment, and the ways in
which young people from varying social and regional backgrounds are
positioned very differently within this.
This book is a compelling account of China's response to the
increasing numbers of 'foreigners' in its midst, revealing a
contradictory picture of welcoming civility, security anxiety and
policy confusion. Over the last forty years, China's position
within the global migration order has been undergoing a remarkable
shift. From being a nation most notable for the numbers of its
emigrants, China has increasingly become a destination for
immigrants from all points of the globe. What attracts
international migrants to China and how are they received once they
arrive? This timely volume explores this question in depth.
Focusing on such diverse migrant communities as African traders in
Guangzhou, Japanese call center workers in Dalian, migrant
restaurateurs in Shanghai, marriage migrants on the Vietnamese
borderlands, South Korean parents in Beijing, Europeans in Xiamen
and Western professionals in Hong Kong, as well as the booming
expansion of British and North American English language teachers
across the nation, the accounts offered here reveal in intimate
detail the motivations, experiences, and aspirations of the
diversity of international migrants in China.
This book will inspire academics, teachers and trainers to use film
and television in their classrooms and to shows them how it might
be done. It brings together respected international scholars who
recount their experiences of how they have used moving images in
their classrooms (defined widely to include distance-learning) with
their explanations of why they chose this method of teaching and
how they put their intentions into action. The book also
illustrates how particular subjects might be taught using film and
television as an inspiration to demonstrate the range of
opportunities that these media offer. Finally, this book considers
some of the practical issues in using film and television in the
classroom such as copyright, technology, and the representation of
reality and drama in films. This is a 'practical, how to' book that
answers the questions of those people who have considered using
film and television in their classroom but until now have shied
away from doing so. The opportunity to see how others have used
film effectively breaks down psychological barriers and makes it
seem both realistic and worthwhile.
