Podcasts about citizen outsider children

For this last episode of Season 1, I am excited to have Dr. Jean Beaman on my podcast! Jean and I went college together and like so many others, reconnected through Facebook. I saw that she was a sociologist and was interested in her research on race, particularly in France. She is an Associate Professor, Sociology at University of California, Santa Barbara, and she is the author of the book: Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France. In our discussion, we talk about how she uses ethnography, which is a form of storytelling and investigative journalism in academic sociology, to help understand the intersection of race and identity. You don't want to miss our deep conversation! You can find Jean's book here: Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France.

In this episode, I discuss the limits of French republicanism with Jean Beaman, who is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. We will focus on her book Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France (University of California Press, 2017).

For this evening of conversation, Inès Seddiki interviewed Jean Beaman about her research, including her book, Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France. Dr. Beaman then posed some questions to Inès about her organization, GHETT'UP. Finally, the two discussed racism in France more broadly re COVID-19 and police violence. They also offered their thoughts and perspectives on the recent protests in France for Adama Traoré and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Jean Beaman is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She was previously on the faculty at Purdue University and has held visiting fellowships at Duke University and the European University Institute (Florence, Italy). Her research is ethnographic in nature and focuses on race/ethnicity, racism, international migration, and state-sponsored violence in both France and the United States. She is an Editor of H-Net Black Europe, an Associate Editor of the journal, Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power, and Corresponding Editor for the journal Metropolitics/Metropolitiques. She earned her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Inès Seddiki is a French-Moroccan activist and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) professional living in the banlieues of Paris. Inès graduated with a masters degree in corporate social responsibility from Grenoble Graduate School of Business and a bachelor's degree in economics from Pierre Mendès-France University. In 2016, she founded GHETT'UP, an organization dealing with youth empowerment and leadership in the underprivileged areas of Paris, the banlieues. 5000+ youth have been impacted by the organization's programs.

Dr. Jean Beaman called in to talk about the realities of living through history and societal change. She discusses the racial and social realities of COVID19, and dispels the notion that the pandemic is the "great equalizer." She also considers the spring 2020 protests regarding the death of George Floyd, and how they are connected to the coronavirus.Dr. Beaman is Assistant Professor of Sociology at University of California, Santa Barbara.

What does it mean to be a citizen? Every country has its own legal codes that confer a set of rights on official members. But full citizenship is often more than what the law says. A better question is: what does it mean to be an accepted member of one’s society? According to France’s Republicanism, national and civic terms determine identity, and basic citizenship, “being French,” trumps all other group affiliations. Race, ethnicity—those common and powerful sources of identity and symbols of belonging—simply do not exist within this model. Not so for everyone in France, according to sociologist Jean Beaman in her new book Citizen Outsider: Children of North African Immigrants in France (University of California Press, 2017). In this work, Beaman focuses on a group of people in France who have ostensibly “made it”—children of maghrebin immigrants who have obtained university (and sometimes post-graduate) degrees, work professional jobs, and entered the middle class—and who mostly embrace French culture and the country’s sense of Republicanism, but who are not accepted as French by their country. They feel French, but are not regarded as French. Driven by the question of “what does it mean to be a minority in a society that does not recognize minorities?” Beaman lets her participants’ lives and experiences shine, and her analyses reveal the unfortunate conditions and realities of their everyday existence as “citizen outsiders”: both an ordinary member of their society, and a total foreigner at the same time. Richard E. Ocejo is associate professor of sociology at John Jay College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY). He is the author of Masters of Craft: Old Jobs in the New Urban Economy (Princeton University Press, 2017), about the transformation of low-status occupations into cool, cultural taste-making jobs (cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale mens barbers, and whole animal butchers), and of Upscaling Downtown: From Bowery Saloons to Cocktail Bars in New York City (Princeton University Press, 2014), about growth policies, nightlife, and conflict in gentrified neighborhoods. His work has appeared in such journals as City & Community, Poetics, Ethnography, and the European Journal of Cultural Studies. He is also the editor of Ethnography and the City: Readings on Doing Urban Fieldwork (Routledge, 2012) and serves on the editorial boards of the journals Metropolitics, Work and Occupations, and the Journal for Undergraduate Ethnography.
