Questioning the Policy Framing of Roma in Ghent, Belgium
The recent flow of Roma immigrants to Western Europe has caused a lot of societal and political discussion. Initiatives and policy measures are introduced at the European and national or local level in order to deal with this situation. This article explores to what extent experiences and self-perceptions of Roma immigrants in Western Europe correspond with the constructed discourse in terms of “Roma inclusion”. In policy practices, there seems t…
Whose problem is it anyway? Realising the right to education for Roma children in Ghent, Belgium
Western European cities are increasingly inhabited by Roma due to intra-European migrations. These societal changes pose new challenges for schools and other social institutions. The case study conducted in Ghent, Belgium, reported in this article, sheds light on problems concerning the realisation of the right to education for Roma children in a context that has recently emerged rapidly. A distinction is made between problem definitions of polic…
Shaping the right to education for Roma children
Western European cities are increasingly confronted with Roma immigrants. Societal changes associated with this phenomenon create new challenges for schools. Using a case study, this article sheds light on present practices that shape the right to education for Roma children. Three principal success factors are distinguished: boundary-blurring practices, a lifeworld-oriented approach and commitment. Finally, the relation between promising practic…
Positioning the educational researcher through reflections on an autoethnographical account
Ethnographic fieldwork is subject to a number of tensions regarding the position of the researcher.Traditionally, these are discussed from a methodological perspective, and draw attention to issues such as 'objectivity' of the research and the supposed need for 'distance' in the process of knowledge-building.Approaching the issue from a different angle, this article provides a reflection on the positionality of the researcher through an autoethno…
How to make sense of the right to education? Issues from the case of Roma people
In most cases, discussions on the right to education focus on the way access to education can be warranted for all and which aims should be pursued in rather abstract terms. This article approaches the topic starting from the case of Roma people. The particularity of their living circumstances raises the question what it is that we are aiming at when trying to realize a universal right to education for them. After confronting their social practic…
A Right to Education for All
The debate on the social function of schooling is as old as the idea of schooling itself. In those discussions, the concept of equal opportunities is often referred to as a means or a strategy to pursue social equality. This article discusses four conceptions of equality, each referring to different notions of justice. In meritocratic, distributive and social equality of opportunities, the conceptualisation of equality is deduced from a particula…
