Interaction of ancestry and agency: Challenges, constraints and options for second‐generation Albanian youth relocating from Greece
The Greek economic crisis resulted in tens of thousands of Albanian migrants returning to their home country. Amongst the returnees were many second‐generation children of the immigrants, who either returned with their families or relocated as individuals, leaving family members in Greece. Since the second generation were brought up in Greece they are not true returnees; we call their movement ‘relocation’ rather than return. Based on in‐depth in…
A window to knowledge is a window to the world: Socio-aesthetics, ethics and pedagogic migrant youth journeys in crisis-shaped educational settings in Greece
This paper explores the processes, tensions, opportunities and constraints that migrant youth in Greek higher educational institutions experience at the present time which are characterised by social crises, economic austerity and political instability. In doing so, we also put forward an agenda of critical and feminist pedagogies in developing inclusive spaces of educational citizenship and social justice. Building on a larger collaborative stud…
Diasporic youth identities of uncertainty and hope: Second-generation Albanian experiences of transnational mobility in an era of economic crisis in Greece
This paper explores various dimensions of ‘gender’ and ‘mobility’ among immigrant youth from a transnational perspective in an era of economic crisis. The extent and parameters of continuity, contestation and change in migrant youth identities are analysed and we suggest that neither gender nor identity are stable categories but are embedded in sociocultural particularities both in the country of residence (Greece) but also in the country of orig…
East European Migrant Women in Greece. Intergenerational Cultural Knowledge Transfer and Adaptation in a Context of Crisis
This paper draws on a larger oral history project entitled ‘Gendered Histories of Resilience and Resistance: East European Women’s Narratives of Mobility and Survival’, a narrative ethnography of Albanian, Bulgarian, Romanian, and Polish immigrant women living in Greece. The paper explores intergenerational cultural knowledge transfer and adaptation in a context of crisis with an analysis contextualised within the current crisis in Greece. We con…

Ethnolinguistic vitality, language use and social integration amongst Albanian immigrants in Greece
The focus of this paper is on the relationship between Albanian speakers' ethnolinguistic vitality (EV) perceptions and their language maintenance, language use and choice patterns. A subjective EV questionnaire, and a language usage questionnaire capturing domain-specific language use was completed by 200 Albanian immigrants of first and second (one and a half) generation residing in various areas all over Greece. In addition, interviews were co…
Disability in Multicultural Theory: Conceptual and Social Justice Issues
Multicultural theorists in education tend to treat disability as part of cultural diversity and apply a minority group model to disability rights. We critically examine the fundamental presuppositions and social justice issues behind this assimilation of disability into a multicultural frame of reference. The implications of the neutralization of disability are discussed. Reasons for reconciling different views of special education and multicultu…
Social development and transnational households: Resilience and motivation for Albanian immigrants in Greece in the era of economic crisis
This paper examines the ways in which the Greek economic crisis has affected the social development of Albanian immigrants in both the sending and the host country. It focuses on transnational households and family development projects and examines the degree of resilience and the power of motivation that drives people's reactions during the crisis, comparing first- and second-generation immigrants. My research focuses mainly on those Albanian im…
Working here, investing here and there: Present economic practices, strategies of social inclusion and future plans for return among the Albanian immigrants in a Greek–Albanian border town
This paper examines the capital and non‐capital investment practices of Albanian immigrants living in a border town in Greece. It argues that both permanent settlement and return are open possibilities for the Albanian first‐generation immigrants who seem eager to be integrated into Greek society and at the same time reluctant to abandon the idea of return in the future. Second‐generation immigrants, however, view the possibility of return as unl…
