“…That is, when exposed to out‐group sources of influence, people polarise away from those sources, towards a more extreme in‐group position (David & Turner, ). Consistent with this, in the aftermath of two other recent populist victories—the Brexit vote and the election of Donald Trump—the reactions of those who voted otherwise have been marked by shame, disbelief, embarrassment and trepidation at national peril (e.g.., Green et al, ). Similar feuds, in which the shocked and appalled elite was accused of living in a “red‐green bubble” of their own making, also broke out after the Finnish parliamentary elections (Hamilo, ).…”

Divergence over conformity: Change in immigration attitudes after the electoral success of an anti‐immigration populist party in the Finnish 2015 parliamentary elections

2018

The populist, anti-immigration-oriented Finns Party was considered the winner of the Finnish 2015 parliamentary elections. In a representative sample of young adults (N = 606), a longitudinal pre- post-election design revealed that attitudes towards immigration became more favourable among those disappointed by the outcome and those who did not vote for the Finns Party. Among the latter, both supporting the green-red rival parties and disliking the Finns Party independently predicted increased support for migration. Other attitudes did not change. The results highlight the importance of social processes and identity concerns, particularly self-categorization, as drivers of attitude change. While previous work has focused on conformity dynamics, our results suggest that diverging from an unwanted identity may be associated with attitude change.

“…Switzer & Hannan 2017), the ideals of cultural exclusion and national isolation were nevertheless central to the Brexit campaign argument (Woolfson 2016). The personal rationales for each individual voter may never be known, yet it is clear that both elections were buoyed by the growth of protectionist nationalism in diverse parts of the world (Corbett 2016;Green et al 2016). How does this political wave affect meanings of inclusion and exchange, and how might these meanings influence research into dance education?…”

The results of the 2016 British referendum on membership of the European Union and the presidential election in the United States of America initiated political changes that will arguably have resounding impacts, within and beyond the UK and the US for years to come. Much of the rhetoric accompanying these political victories appears to confront humanist ideals associated with inclusion, rationalism and transnational exchange. This article argues that these seismic political events in Europe and America will have an international impact on policies, practices and pedagogies associated with dance education, inevitably challenging those who seek to broaden meanings of socially, culturally, economically and politically inclusive arts education. We have gathered the queries of leading dance education researchers from around the world, to better understand how these political shifts are perceived, who feels they may be affected, how they feel it may affect them, and how research into dance education may respond to, and address, these effects. In doing so, we hope to provide a global snapshot of concerns felt by dance education academics in the aftermath of the 2016 British referendum and US Presidential election, and a research framework for investigating the implications of these events on dance education.

For example, prominent European public figures voicing their concerns over immigration and photos of Syrian refugees were central in the “Brexit” campaign (Green et al., ).…”

In light of the new wave of immigrants and asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to Europe, this article investigates some of the challenges of the previous phases of immigration of MENA immigrants in order to propose how best to address the needs of the new one. In particular, this article looks at the relationship between different types of anti‐discrimination policy and the levels of perceived discrimination among first‐ and second‐generation MENA immigrants to Europe. This research uses hierarchical models to integrate data from the European Social Survey (ESS) and the Migrant Integration Policy Index. Findings show that enforcement mechanisms are most efficient in reducing feelings of discrimination among veteran and second‐generation MENA immigrants, while broad and well defined anti‐discrimination policies are highly effective among newcomers.
