Transnational Roma Mobilities

The Mobilities of Electrons.

In a recent paper' it was shown that the electrons could presumably travel through N2 and H2 gases!in a free state at atmospheric pressure. It was found in some cases impossible to evaluate the mobilities of these electrons with the low frequencies of commutation available. The values of the mobilities indicated by these results appeared to be so much higher than the values obtained by earlier ...

Editorial: Surveillance and Mobilities

The editorial introduces the pieces in this special issue on surveillance and mobilities. It draws out the key themes of the issue, asking: what is meant by ‘mobility’ and why it deserves such a focus; what are the goals and purposes of the surveillance of mobilities; and finally, what are the consequences. It proposes a simple typology of mobilities: ‘what moves’ (body, transactions, and artef...

The Roma/non-Roma Test Score Gap in Hungary

This paper documents and decomposes the test score gap between Roma and non-Roma 8 graders in Hungary in 2006. Our data connect national standardized test scores to an individual panel survey with detailed data on ethnicity and family background. The test score gap is approximately one standard deviation for both reading and mathematics, which is similar to the gap between African-American and ...

Gypsies/roma in Hungary

try in an uneven distribution. Roma people live in around 2,000 of Hungary's 3,200 settlements. With regard to regional distribution, census data suggest the highest concentrations are in the regions of Northern Hungary and the Northern Alföld (Great Hungarian Plain). Although the proportion of Roma living in towns and cities has increased considerably in comparison to the 1970's, the majority ...
