“…Instead it is defined through uncertain, unstable interdependent practices of sociality and communing in being. The definitions of conviviality offered by Gilroy (2006) although it is possible to see this process beginning to develop (Amin 2012;Wise and Noble 2016;Neal et al 2018). It is in this context of the shared ground inhabited by the new thinking around community as a state of 'being in common' and about conviviality as processes of constant negotiation that we suggest productive thinking about the ways in which connective social interactions take place and emerge across and through the thrown together difference that is urban multiculture.…”

“…This paper contributes to more recent efforts to think conviviality through this impasse. These efforts are visible in for example, Hiel's emphasis on the need to give attention to the space between the polemics of welcoming and being hostile to difference; in Wise and Noble's (2016) suggestion that conviviality is an orientation towards shared lives lived through difference and in Valluvan's (2016: ) argument that 'as opposed to being a concept which simply names everyday practices of multi-ethnic interaction, conviviality speaks uniquely to a sophisticated ability to invoke difference whilst avoiding communitarian, groupist precepts'.…”

This paper contributes to understandings of the conviviality which has dominated recent sociological approaches to urban multiculture. The paper argues for conviviality's conceptual extension by reference to recent rethinking of community as a profound sociality of 'being with' (Studdert and develops their sociological and explanatory power and counters the reductions and limitations that are associated with both concepts.

“…Noble brings the two notions together, referring to 'habits of intercultural civility' (Noble, 2013:164), which, importantly, can exist in parallel to racism and exclusion. Similarly, scholars have shown how such intercultural civility can emerge out of daily habits of 'perhaps quite banal intercultural interaction' (Sandercock, 2003:89), but that it can exist in parallel with exclusion and racism (Amin, 2002;Hall, 1999;Noble, 2011;Tyler, 2016;Wessendorf, 2014b;Wise & Noble, 2016).…”

Scholars examining different aspects of migrant settlement have long recognized the importance of questions around how newcomers forge a sense of connectedness to the society in which they settle. This article contributes new knowledge by focussing on three factors which shape migrants' sense of belonging: firstly, the immigrationrelated diversity of the neighbourhood in which they settle; secondly, the migrants' social location in regards to race, gender, religion and language; and thirdly, migrants' previous experiences of migration-related diversity. Drawing on theories around civility, cosmopolitanism and migrant 'place making', and by comparing recent migrants in Birmingham and East London, the article focuses on the role of social interactions and encounters in public space. While migrants who had little previous experiences of diversity go through a process of multicultural adaptation when settling in ethnically diverse areas, others stressed the need to live in areas characterized by visible diversity because of fear of racism. Furthermore, their sense of belonging was also shaped by previous experiences of exclusion in countries of transit migration. The findings highlight that it is not necessarily the ethnic make-up of a city overall which impacts on a migrants' sense of belonging, but it is the neighbourhood, the immediate locality in which migrants live, and the nature of social interactions with other residents in such areas, which crucially impacts on their sense of inclusion or exclusion.

Concomitant with globalisation, there has been a revival of research about international education.International education or educational internationalisation can no longer be simply deciphered as education that is implemented in international schools exclusively for expatriate students or as education with a special focus on knowledge of other nations. Not only have the constitution of student populations and education content changed, there are also some international inter-and non-governmental agents that have become influential in formal education, a realm conventionally restricted and ceded to nation states. The multidirectional global flows of people, media, technology, capital, and ideas (Appadurai, 1996) and the superdiversity observed in nation states (Vertovec, 2007) also challenge our conception of international education.This research responds to this challenge by seeking to answer two interrelated questions: 1) How can we appropriately compare entities that are diverse in terms of social, cultural, historical, and institutional aspects; and 2) How does international education, based on the cases of the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the internationalisation of schooling in Taiwan, make itself intelligible in contemporary globalisation? The first question is methodological and functional, which attempts to explore and elucidate how different education systems can be compared without presuming commensurability between them. In addressing this first question, this research proposes a methodological approach, which is referred as comparison as translation. Using this approach, the second question empirically aims at understanding international education from the two cases.This research compares international education as employed in the IB and in the internationalisation of schooling in Taiwan. The former is an international non-governmental organisation proclaiming to provide quality primary and secondary programs around the world and to cultivate "international-mindedness", while the latter is a national education system in a post-colonial society, located in entangled and complex geopolitics and under a process of citizenship reconstruction. To properly compare the two cases, which are diverse in many ways, for example, in respect of their cultures, histories, institutions, and geopolitical positionings, this research inter alia seeks to critically reflect on the colonial roots embedded in comparative education research (Sobe, 2017), including various presuppositions such as methodological nationalism (Wimmer & Glick-Schiller, 2002), and the so-called "northerness" of globalisation theory (Connell, 2007). Utilising the theorisation offered by Jullien (2013), Sakai (2006), and other theorists (Mignolo, 2012;Spivak, 2000;Stengers, 2011), the research proposes and exercises a comparative approach that resembles the process of translation and in which the researcher acts ii as the translator. It is argued that similarities and dissimilarities of the two cases are not innate, but iii
