Critical Pedagogy of Multicultural Incorporation
This article brings cultural sociology, civil sphere theory, and critical theory into dialogue to examine the empirical-cum-political stakes of education in multicultural societies. Using a mixed-methods approach, it analyzes school cultures in Finland, Scotland, and Sweden, focusing on how the symbolic and interactional life of schools extends beyond academic performance. Schools are understood as moral environments where ideals of solidarity an…
A matrix of educational policies to support migrant students across Europe
Increase in immigration in Europe, including many migrants of school age, has highlighted the need to understand how best to support migrant students’ integration. Integration strategies vary significantly between countries, resulting in a complex mosaic of approaches that is difficult to analyze. Educational policies are shaped by a range of policy choices made by local and national governments regarding the economy, welfare, and foreign policy.…
Successful Transitions? Tracing the Experiences of Migrant School Leavers in Scotland
This paper examines the experiences and aspirations of migrant young people in Scotland. It focuses on students approaching the end of compulsory education and presents findings from a study on the outcomes of young migrants in the transition to adulthood. The research is based on empirical fieldwork carried out with students in two schools (n = 95 in depth interviews). It finds evidence of unique and distinct educational pathways for school leav…

Following a statistical analysis of student destination choices, it is argued that cross-border moves from Scotlan…

Peer reviewed
It was always the plan’: International study as ‘learning to migrate’
International student mobility has mainly been theorised in terms of cultural capital accumulation and its prospective benefits on returning home following graduation. Yet, despite a growing body of work in this area, most research on post‐study mobility fails to recognise that the social forces that generate international student mobility also contribute to lifetime mobility plans. Moreover, these forces produce at least four types of post‐study…
