Central and Eastern European Women Academics in the UK: Making Britain Home brings together creative, reflexive and conceptually-rich contributions from 30 women academics of Central and Eastern European heritage who have established careers in UK higher education.Through essays, poetry, soundscapes and visual storytelling, the volume explores their migration trajectories and academic working lives, and the ways in which they negotiate identities and construct spaces of belonging within their communities and workplaces. The book situates these widely resonant and universal narratives within the socio-political and economic transformations of post-2004 Britain, including the 2008 financial crisis, the 2016 EU referendum, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing marketisation of higher education. It critically examines the evolving nature of academic labour and the challenges faced by migrant academics in navigating these shifting landscapes.Central and Eastern European Women Academics in the UK: Making Britain Home is key reading for academics in the UK, Europe and beyond who are navigating the challenging landscape of higher education, as well as scholars in sociology researching migration, identity and belonging.

Migration Practice as Creative Practice: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Migration presents an in-depth evaluation of migrants' contributions to modern socio-economic structures.Leading with a discussion of the historical construction of migration and what it signifies in the modern globalised economies, an interdisciplinary range of contributors examine the interaction of migrants with new cultures, migrants' embeddedness into new environments and what that signifies for community relations. The book discusses the creative energies that migrants bring to the private and public spheres.Migration Practice as Creative Practice examines how migrants use their social lives, lived experiences, the process of identity formation and histories to inject positive 'newness' into host cultural and economic architectures. The book calls for more creative ways of researching migrant lived experiences and brings to life the different ways of approaching migrant research for scholars today.
