Everyday integration: The Local Contexts, Practices, and Mobilities of Integration

Lead Research Organisation: University of Bristol
Department Name: Sociology

Abstract

The recent Casey Review (2016) and Integrated Communities Strategy Green Paper (2018) have revived integration as a national policy priority. The problem these strategies address is the perceived lack of integration of immigrants and ethnic minorities. The fix they propose combines English Language provision and the promotion of 'fundamental British values' with curbs on immigration and interventions to address what are viewed as harmful cultural practices.

Whilst most will agree that integration is desirable, there are different views on what integration is and how best to achieve it. Our approach is distinctive in at least three ways.

First, we view integration as a process involving everyone, not just immigrants and ethnic minorities. The drawback of approaches that single out certain populations as 'unintegrated' is that they relieve other, 'integrated' populations of responsibility for integration. Integration, we argue, can only work if it involves everyone, where everyone shares its responsibilities and benefits.

Second, we view integration as beginning in the situated practices and local contexts of everyday life. The drawback of approaches that stress fundamental national values is they trade in abstractions that may have little bearing on people's day-to-day concerns. Integration, we argue, should be pursued and achieved through social intercourse grounded in everyday life, not (only) through the promotion of abstract national values.

Third, we view integration as a bottom-up phenomenon, where the aim of policy should be to capture and encourage existing best practices whilst simultaneously attenuating local barriers to integration. The drawback of approaches pitched at the national level is they are less sensitive to variation in local context. Integration, we argue, must begin with and attend to the specificities of local context.

Our Everyday Integration approach reclaims and retools integration for academic and policy purposes.

Our approach represents a step change in the scholarship on integration. Integration has been criticised for its assimilationist undertones and lack of conceptual clarity, leading some to abandon it in favour of cognate concepts such as incorporation or inclusion. Given integration's continued policy relevance, however, our aim instead is to redefine and reclaim it in ways that identify and then remedy its earlier shortcomings. We begin with integration as an assortment of locally grounded everyday practices and mobilities that facilitate meaningful and constructive social exchange. We will develop this approach as our main scholarly intervention to integration.

Our approach is designed to achieve maximum impact for the everyday users and agents of integration. Integration is not just a matter of fostering good relations between citizens and migrants in national contexts. Rather, integration occurs through the grounded practices, exchanges, and mobilities of everyday life in local contexts. Our policy interventions are designed to capture and facilitate existing good practices whilst simultaneously addressing remaining barriers to integration. Working with the Mayor of Bristol, the Bristol City Council, and a wide range of City and Community Partners, we will use our research findings to co-produce and implement an Integration Strategy for Bristol. We will then distil the insights from our research and Strategy to formulate an Integration Toolkit that can be flexibly adapted for other urban contexts across Britain.

Rather than simply seeing the lack of integration as a problem, we contend that a focus on the ways in which different groups of mobile and settled residents of the city already experience and practice integration - that is, the people who are its everyday architects and agents - can provide insights and creative approaches for scholars and policymakers seeking to understand and foster integration.

Planned Impact

One key objective of this project is to engage community partners, policymakers, and academics in collaborative research to co-produce an Integration Strategy for Bristol that will provide an evidence-based, locally grounded approach to promoting integration in the city. This will form the basis for an Integration Toolkit, which will offer a flexible set of principles, methodologies, and insights for other cities to develop their own locally-driven approaches to integration.

The project's aims and design have been developed and agreed through a series of workshops, meetings, and other discussions in 2017-2018 with local government and community organisations. We will continue this collaboration to: share knowledge between academics, practitioners and communities; co-organise Integration Roadshows to canvass local communities on their ideas and concerns about integration; run a series of Integration Workshops with 25 local Partners to shape the project's ongoing implementation; co-produce an Integration Strategy for Bristol; deliver the Integration Strategy to the Mayor of Bristol and Bristol City Council and work with them on a plan for its implementation and continued funding; and develop and disseminate the Integration Toolkit to stakeholders across the UK.

The beneficiaries of the project are the range of Partners in Bristol who are involved in and supporting this project. These include Bristol City Council and the Mayor of Bristol, who have pledged their support for the project and their commitment to collaborating with the research. Together they will ensure the dissemination and implementation of the Integration Strategy for Bristol, linking it with and embedding it in the Mayor's One City Plan for 'a coherent and socially inclusive city'. Our Bristol City Council Partners from the Housing Division, the Department for Neighbourhoods and Communities, the Department for Growth and Regeneration, and the Division of Culture will join the project's Steering Committee to inform the design and implementation of the research and ensure that it addresses the needs of local residents and policymakers.

The project has achieved the support of a wide range of local community organisations and stakeholders, including our four core City Partners: Voscur, Up Our Street, Ashley Community Housing, and the Black South West Network, who will join the project's Steering Committee with responsibility for representing the interests and needs of organisations working on integration issues in the city. Additionally, the project will work with 25 Community Partners, including Babbasa Youth Empowerment, Bristol Disability Equality Forum, Bristol Multi-Faith Forum, Community CoLab, Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership, Refugee Women of Bristol, and United Communities (see Appendix 1 for a full list). These Partners will participate in the Integration Workshops and Roadshows to help develop the research's approach to addressing the concerns and views of diverse communities from across the city. Such commitment from our Bristol Partners ensures that our project is well positioned to achieve real impact on its Integration Strategy and related initiatives in the city to reach some of the project's most important beneficiaries, the people of Bristol.

Additionally, the project will draw on the insights, proposals and lessons learnt from the research and Integration Strategy to create a national Integration Toolkit for national launch and dissemination to other cities across the UK. Our Partner from the Mayor's Office, David Barclay (Good Faith Partnership/Advisor to the Mayor on Social Inclusion), will lead on the launch of the Integration Strategy for Bristol in London and the subsequent dissemination of the Integration Toolkit to local stakeholders in other cities and to national stake-holders, including parliamentarians and civil servants.

Description In August/September 2020 we administered a survey (n=786) to explore the impact of Covid-19 in Bristol on the economic, social, civic, and spatial dimensions of integration (these four areas align with the focus of the project). The COVID-19 pandemic has upturned many of our assumptions about the relationships between integration, work, neighbourhoods and engagement. In one version of an integrated city, we would all be in this together as the virus infects human cells indiscriminately, but we have seen how profoundly unintegrated we are with the disproportionate impact of the pandemic across lines of age, ethnicity, precarity, immigration status and social class. Indeed, it is precisely the non-discriminatory nature of COVID that exposes race, class and passports as producing mechanisms of inequality and segregation.
Our analysis of survey data produced four key findings:
• Working was drastically affected by the lockdown, with nearly a quarter of Bristolians reported being negatively affected by COVID-19 - a rate lower than the average national rate (Wielgoszewska et al., 2020). The economic impact of COVID-19 appeared to have widened existing socio-economic inequalities, with individuals from ethnic minority groups and those with lower take-home pay, working part-time and/or working in sectors requiring fewer skills reporting more negative effects.

• The first national lockdown saw a substantial decrease in face-to-face interactions and a substantial increase in online interactions. These trends transformed the neighbourhood into an important site of social interaction and source of place attachment, especially for white British and high-income groups. For others, including some non-citizens and ethnic minorities, the pandemic and the national response to it strengthened their attachment to the UK and encouraged virtual social exchange via trans-local and trans-national networks.

• During the period of the lockdown, there was a general decrease in conventional forms of civic engagement, such as participation in political parties, national charities or faith groups, and a shift away from national participation in favour of local participation, such as participation in local charities and local citizens/community groups. There was also evidence of a high level of reported voting intentions in future elections. This was particularly the case for local, drawing attention to possible new opportunities for local political engagement.

• Spatial: Mobility gradually recovered over the summer in Bristol. The recovery, however, was unevenly distributed across the city. Compared to white British and affluent residents, respondents from ethnic minority backgrounds, low-income groups and those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods reported significantly higher rates of work-related and health-related trips, demonstrating their greater exposure to health and occupational risks associated with COVID-19. Comparison of activity spaces indicates that different socio-economic groups used and experienced the city in different ways. These differences were related to the geographic distribution of urban opportunities and the residential distribution of different socio-economic groups across the city.

Update March 2022.

Since last year we have conducted approximately 50 interviews with Bristolians from different neighbourhoods and with different backgrounds. These data are still being analysed. Three themes have emerged that are particularly relevant for everyday integration.

1. Neighbourhoods. Our respondents report good levels of connectedness and strong ties to their local neighbourhoods. Local residents help each other out and are responsible for building their communities from the ground up. Our participants talked about the importance of inclusionary community spaces and bottom-up 'school-gate' encounters as key enablers of integration. Against this, these same people feel less connected to the wider city. Sometimes this is down to poor transport options, in other cases it's economic insecurity that gets in the way. Our respondents also provided numerous examples of how Bristol's built environment, its transport infrastructure, and the government placement of people in certain communities were barriers to citywide integration. Some mentioned gentrification or the lack of local amenities as neighbourhood barriers to integration.

2. Precarity. We interviewed people working in the care sector, the creative industries, and the hospitality sector to understand how precarious work shapes the possibilities for integration. Zero-hour contracts, the gig economy, and economic insecurity were all experienced as barriers to integration and were linked with crime and growing inequalities. Examples of communities vulnerable to precarity included newcomers and more established BAME communities. Our respondents' suggestions for enabling integration included eliminating zero-hours contracts, instituting a living-wage, and providing better skills training.

3. The Digital. A number of our participants raised concerns about digital exclusion as a barrier to integration. For some communities in Bristol, this meant a lack of access to technology; for others low levels of English competency made digital exclusion worse. Some also mentioned the role the media plays (online and offline) stoking fear and suspicion between groups. Others talked about how online spaces during Covid-19 enabled integration (for some), and how digital inclusion offers the promise of increased opportunities for integration.
Exploitation Route The results of the questionnaire are presently being shared with Bristol City Council, our Key Project Partners, and our 30 Community Partners. Some further analysis will likely be undertaken at the request of these partners and in alignment with the objectives of the project. Together this will form an evidence base that will feed into the Integration Strategy and Integration Toolkits we will be preparing toward the end of the project. The Integration Strategy will reside with the One City Office and Bristol City Council. We are currently working with the MHCLG, the LGA, and the Belong Network to cultivate national networks to disseminate the Integration Toolkit to local authorities across the country. In addition, we will widely disseminate the survey's Final Report and a series of Press Releases on each of the key findings to targeted local and national collaborators.

Update March 2022.

The evidence base from the Everyday Integration project provides key insights into the view of integration from the perspective of the people doing the integrating. The analysis of the data shows how this everyday work of integration is shaped by different institutions. The findings and analysis of the data will be of interest to academics, policymakers, and voluntary sector organisations working in the area of integration. It will provide a solid evidence base for understanding the local and bottom-up mechanics of integration. It will also contribute to a shift in the way we think about integration, not as something immigrants and newcomers do into the nation, but as something we are all involved and invested in through our routine everyday practices, exchanges, and mobilities. Researchers will have access to the data and policymakers and voluntary sector organisations will be able to use learning from the project - both the findings/conclusions and the methodologies - to support and develop their own local approaches to integration.

Description We are in the middle of a collaborative and co-produced research project with Bristol City Council and more than thirty community partners across the city. The impact of the research has been found in the process thus far of collaborating with our partners to progress the work of the project. Those meetings include 1 large workshop (with the majority of partners present), regular steering committee meetings (with representatives from 4 key community partners and Bristol City Council participating), and regular and ongoing work-package meetings (each with at least 1 key community partner, 1 Bristol City Council partner, and 1 University of Bristol partner). We have been working together with all these project partners on our data collection strategies and in developing our approach to integration. The main objective of the project is to co-produce an impact strategy for Bristol. To date, we have been scoping and collecting the knowledge we have in local communities (through our community partners) and identifying the integration priorities for both community and Bristol City Council partners. The process of meeting and collaborating on these and other objectives has put our community partners into direct dialogue with Bristol City Council on matters of shared concern and interest. This is building the capacity of our community partners to influence local policy on integration and other matters. At the same time we have been working with a number of national organisations - British Future, the Belong Network, the LGA, and the MHCLG to share and discuss our approach to integration and cultivate a national network of partners for future impact and dissemination activities. Update March 2022 We are currently working on two key outputs from the project to contribute to integration in Bristol and local authorities across the UK more widely. 1. Integration Framework. We are finalising and local, inclusive, and bottom-up Integration Framework for Bristol. This Framework has two main components. First it features a series of policy-relevant recommendations that follow the learning and evidence-base of the project. These are formulated as domain- and place-specific recommendations for interventions to improve the quality of life in Bristol. They focus on neighbourhoods, precarious work, and digital inclusion. The second component of the Framework elaborates a more durable approach to integration for Bristol's future. This also draws on learning from the project to elaborate and establish institutional pathways to feed up knowledge from local communities into structures of local governance and back down again in the form of bespoke interventions in those communities. We are developing a Bristol Integration Network of local Community Organisations whose members will form ad-hoc Integration Advocacy Groups to work together on specific integration challenges. These Advocacy Groups will formulate Integration Action Plans with Bristol City Council and an Integration Dashboard will monitor and measure the impact of their interventions. The Integration Toolkit is being developed to distill insights from the Integration Framework into a flexible set of principles, guidelines, and methodologies that can be adopted and adapted by local authorities across the UK to develop their own bespoke approaches to local integration. We are partnering with local and national stakeholders in developing and disseminating the Toolkit.

Description Bridging the Gap - Bringing Together Research, Policy and Delivery on Migration. An ACH/MMB seminar 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Third sector organisations
Results and Impact First in a series of five seminars to be held in 2021 by ACH and Migration Mobilities Bristol on research, policy and practice in the field of migration. These seminars are the result of a strengthened partnership between staff on the project and ACH and aim to spark discussion and facilitate knowledge exchange between policy makers, researchers, and third sector organisations. ACH is an award-winning social enterprise providing a range of innovative and impactful support and integration services for refugees, BAME and migrant individuals.

Blurb for the seminar: Migrants and refugees often see enterprise as their route to opportunity. But, in many cases, they are regarded as doing so out of necessity and given low priority by mainstream organisations providing business support. This can lead to greater precarity for those seeking this route. This seminar asks, are we missing an opportunity, both to assist those trying to become autonomous and to stimulate innovation and growth in the wider economy?
