Teachers’ perspectives on determinants of educational (under)achievement of Cigano/Roma students in Portugal
In-between identities and hope in the future
Increasing numbers of Cigano people in Portuguese schools show that this is the most educated generation to date. However, according to recent data only 2.6% are enrolled in secondary education. Using an intersectional approach examining gender, ethnicity, and family socioeconomic status to explore the youngsters’ academic trajectories, and focusing on tensions of the interplay between structural constraints and individual agency, enables us to e…
How Did the Covid-19 Pandemic and Digital Divide Impact Ciganos/Roma School Pathways
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Portuguese government to declare various lockdowns between 2020 and 2022. The first State of Emergency was enforced in March 2020, in which face-to-face classroom teaching was repeatedly interrupted. At that time, families were expected to provide the necessary supplies for digital learning, with some support from the government, municipalities, civil society, and local institutions. Nevertheless, many families al…
Jovens ciganos no ensino médio em Portugal
Apesar de em Portugal existirem políticas públicas de combate às desigualdades, incluindo as escolares, a origem socioeconômica, o gênero e a pertença étnica dos estudantes continuam a ter um impacto incontornável nos percursos escolares. Os ciganos são dos mais afetados por essas desigualdades, reveladas pelas ainda salientes taxas de abandono escolar precoce e por retenções e insucesso escolar. Tendo por base os resultados derivados de entrevis…

O ofício do Professor
Este artigo dá conta de uma análise sobretudo (auto-)reflexiva tendo por base duas experiências concretas, ainda que ligeiramente distintas, na lecionação de unidades curriculares da área disciplinar da Sociologia nos 3 ciclos de ensino dos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo numa instituição do ensino superior público. A abordagem centra-se não só na identificação das principais dificuldades e tensões, mas também nos desafios que têm marcado estas…
Structural Racism and Racialization of Roma/Ciganos in Portugal
The aim of this article is to contribute to the analysis of the structural racism and racialization that exists in Portugal against Roma people. Racialization takes place in various dimensions of life, but we will focus here on issues of schooling and education, which were accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic and revealed a lack of social deprotection and inequalities between Roma and non-Roma students. This analysis, focusing on the impact o…
Ciganos portugueses
O cumprimento da escolaridade obrigatória, o sucesso e o controlo do abandono escolar estão longe de ser metas atingidas em Portugal para as crianças e jovens ciganos. Atualmente está mais clara a importância da escolarização, seja do ponto de vista do estado, regulador do acesso de todos ao sistema de ensino público, seja por parte das famílias, que reconhecem a sua importância como recurso essencial para uma cidadania efetiva. Neste artigo, atr…

School pathways and economic practices of Portuguese Ciganos
The main aim of this article is to offer a comprehensive perspective to a better understanding of the actual situation of Portuguese Ciganos.1 In Portugal, the lack of recognition of Ciganos (Roma) and the sometimes incorrect ‘knowledge’ about them which are reflected in images that are limitative and distorted, suggest inferiority and are full of disdain, all of which negatively affects and restricts the life of Ciganos persons. This article int…

Shaping ways of managing diversity in Portuguese schools, from the student's perspective
This article examines the results of an empirical research project that analysed the political socialisation processes of the students at three Portuguese public secondary schools in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area in 2011. Against the background of the implementation of an ‘education for citizenship’ programme in the official Portuguese school curriculum (2001), the project basically sought to know what attitudes the students mobilised in the face …
Immigrant perceptions of ethnic and racial discrimination
In Portugal, studies on discrimination against immigrants have focused almost exclusively either on the indigenous population, or on the foreign population. The former have tended to deploy quantitative and extended methodologies, while the latter studies have opted predominantly for qualitative or intensive methodologies, focusing on particular groups. There are few studies in which the immigrant population is extensively surveyed, covering its …
Representations About Discrimination Practices in the Education System Built by Gypsies (Ciganos) in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Portugal)
In Portugal, Gypsies (Ciganos) are categorized as ethnical and minority group, and they are particularly vulnerable to poverty and social exclusion. There is no doubt that they are one of the groups that rise more antipathy among the other Portuguese. In what concerns the “social images” built by the dominant society, there is a negative evaluation of the Gypsies and this image has persisted and resisted so far. Therefore, Gypsy identity and cult…
Representações e estereótipos dos imigrantes russos e ucranianos na sociedade portuguesa
A partir de um estudo aprofundado de caráter qualitativo sobre os imigrantes russos e ucranianos residentes na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa (2003-2007), foi possível evidenciar a conjugação de processos de construção e reconstrução de pertença e de diferença nas definições do "Nós" e dos "Outros" (os portugueses). Os imigrantes autorrepresentam-se como culturalmente diferentes ante a sociedade majoritária, tendendo a evidenciar alguns valores (em…

Institutional Representations" concerning "Eastern Immigrants" in the Portuguese Society
In this discussion will analyse Portugal’s new position in international migratory movements. It used to be an exclusively labour exporter country and is now becoming a destination spot for international migratory fluxes. Our country has been marked by different migration waves, corresponding to time periods and differentiated immigrant groups, from PALOP (African Portuguese Speaking Countries) and Brazil, but since 2000, we knew a new wave immig…
