The Division of Social Sciences Fall 2024 Luncheon Seminar Series (Brown Bags) Presents:October 24th- 12-1pm in 27 Persson AuditoriumRenee Reichl LuthraColgate Research Affiliate 2024-2025, Professor of Sociology & Director of the Centre for Migration Studies, University of EssexTitle: Child-led integration? Parent and child school-based networks in EuropeDescription: An important micro-level indicator of immigrant integration is the prevalence of cross-ethnic friendships in society. Social networks of immigrants and their children are typically segregated along ethnic lines, but the degree of segregation varies across individual and community characteristics. Schools provide a unique opportunity for students to meet and befriend ethnically different peers, and friendships between students may lead to social tie formation between the parents. This way, the social integration of immigrant students can contribute to the social integration of their parents, who might otherwise not have access to non-immigrant networks. Using longitudinal analysis of child and parent social networks in Germany and Sweden, we develop and assess this hypothesis of upward network influence. We find that children’s friendships do lead to new parental ties. However, this influence is largely restricted to ethnically homogeneous friendships, reducing the potential for child-led ethnic integration. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our findings for intercultural education policies in Europe.The next talk in this series is on November 7th with Seonyoung (Young) Park, Assistant Professor of Economics.

Professor Orisanmi Burton, assistant professor of anthropology at American University, is a social anthropologist working in the United States. His research examines the imbrication of grassroots resistance and state repression. Within this broad area of inquiry, his present work explores the collision of Black-led movements for social, political, and economic transformation with state infrastructures of militarized policing, surveillance, and imprisonment. He asks: how do Black radical demands generated within and against U.S. prisons presage alternative futures for people and places on both sides of prison walls? In what ways have state-organized responses to these demands - via diverse configurations of repression, reform, and incorporation – been key drivers of US historical development and state formation? Through what bureaucratic, ideological, and material processes is this dynamic political struggle transformed into an administrative problem of “criminal justice”? How can conceptualizing the US prison as a domain of war open new analytical, theoretical, and methodological terrain?His first book, Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt (2023), was published by University of California Press. In a brief post titled “Notes on Archival War,” he discusses a methodological approach he developed in this book. The rich interdisciplinarity of his work is reflected in his publications in journals like The Black Scholar, American Anthropologist, and Radical History Review.This event will be co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology (SOAN) and Africana and Latin America Studies (ALST).

Transfigurations: Reimagining the Acoustic Environment Composer and field recordist Early Fern Burlat presents a collection of experimental musical works, which reinterpret the sounds around us. Recordings of fragmentary environmental noise are arranged through sampling, collage, and electronic processing into rhythmic or melodic structures: musical portraits of place that simultaneously decontextualise our familiar acoustic environments and reconstruct them into new depictions of the auditory world. The library of sounds is assembled from a series of field recordings collected by Early with traditional and experimental recording equipment in environments around Central New York, and comprises both recognizable sounds and those hidden beyond the normal limits of human hearing.Co-sponsored by the Art Department
