It’s like two Europes here, the West and the East’. Belonging and fitting in at an elite graduate school
While there has been a proliferation of research on the experiences of nonelite students in elite settings, scholarly attention has predominantly focused on institutions like the Ivy League or Oxbridge, leaving other geographical locales, notably in Europe, understudied.Past research has primarily concentrated on the initial entry to higher education, with limited attention given to postgraduate levels, which this study aims to remedy.Through int…
This is how the game works’
Drawing on Bourdieu's field theory the study describes access to transnational mobility as a contextual process to which transnational and location-specific capitals make joint contributions.In doing so, the paper responds to calls against methodological nationalism, i.e. confining research to national boundaries, which is becoming increasingly inadequate in a global world where capital may be produced and subsequently utilised in different count…
All PhDs are equal but … Institutional and social stratification in access to the doctorate
Based on in-depth interviews with doctoral students across different types of English higher education institutions, this study explores existing and perceived barriers to entering doctoral study. Previous research in widening participation and higher education access has neglected this level. Although the PhD is the highest educational qualification, there appear to be quite distinct, classed pathways in access to and through the doctorate corre…
Careers on the Move
International student mobility, especially at doctoral level, is a largely under‐researched component of international migration. This is in stark contrast with the case of credit mobility where much research has been undertaken on Erasmus students. The aim of this paper is to remedy the situation by focusing on international doctoral students who chose to study at an elite higher education institution in the UK. By analysing the role of – local,…
Divergent pathways
The article aims to explore immigrant educational pathways in relation to access to higher education (HE) in the Austrian context. Specifically focusing on Turkish youth, the author presents case studies of students who successfully entered HE in spite of their disadvantaged social, ethnic and geographic background. By further enhancing Ball’s distinction (Ball, Reay, and David 2002) between embedded and contingent choosers, the article provides …
Education matters
By comparing the educational situation of second-generation Turks in the Netherlands and Austria, the paper investigates the reasons behind the differential higher educational gains of the descendants of guest workers in the two countries. By relying on in-depth interviews with second-generation Turks, the paper illustrates how ethnic discrimination in the labour market lead to maintaining a ‘sojourn-perspective’ among Turks in the Austrian setti…
Most Challenging? To Fit in with People While Remaining Myself.' Social Integration of Second Generation Turks within the Dutch Higher Education Setting
By focusing on second generation Turks in the Netherlands the paper aims to study the role of friends and peers in terms of 'fitting in' to a higher education setting. In-depth interviews with Turkish higher education students and recent graduates confirm the existence of certain 'coping strategies' which ethnic minority students employ in order to integrate into the social fabric of their university or college. Social integration is usually achi…
Imagined futures
n Relying on in-depth interviews with higher education students and young graduates the study investigates the factors underpinning the participation patterns of second generation Turks in the Dutch higher education system. The paper highlights how ethnic minority students accommodate the constraints faced by the Dutch educational system by rationalising economics at professional colleges as a suitable alternative to studying medicine at universi…
Go, go on and go higher an’ higher’. Second‐generation Turks’ understanding of the role of education and their struggle through the Dutch school system
With reference to capital theories and rational choice theory, this paper aims to understand how abilities and schooling ambitions are intertwined with social class, gender and ethnicity. By drawing on 16 in‐depth interviews carried out with highly educated second‐generation Turks in the Netherlands, the paper discusses the resources, opportunities and educational attitudes of young people, together with the role of the school system and that of …
Different settings, different choosers? Applying Ball’s framework on the case of second‐generation Turks
This article examines the applicability of Ball’s categorisation of ethnic minority students as contingent and embedded choosers in the context of higher education choice. Considering the role of the selective school system in shaping the educational careers of the children of Turkish immigrants in the Netherlands the study uses case studies to illustrate the interplay of social class background with the educational structure. The cases of educat…
The children of guest workers
This paper examines the integration of Turkish labour migrant children in four countries across Europe in terms of their educational performance. By looking at the PISA 2003 (Programme for International Student Assessment) data pertaining to mathematics achievement of 15‐year‐olds, it explores the effects of ethnicity, gender and family background, on the one hand, and institutional factors (such as kindergarten attendance, grading and tracking),…
