Conceiving the relationship between theory and practice in T-VET. An in-depth study on key actors’ epistemological perspectives
The integration of theory and practice constitutes an anchor of today’s technical vocational education and training (T-VET) and a major determinant of professional development. Understanding such integration is expected to contribute to pedagogical advancement and to provide new research tools. Current knowledge on the epistemological roots of pedagogical approaches is not automatically informative of the conceptions and beliefs of the students a…
Migration at Work
The willingness to migrate in search of employment is in itself insufficient to compel anyone to move. The dynamics of labour mobility are heavily influenced by the opportunities perceived and the imaginaries held by both employers and regulating authorities in relation to migrant labour. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the structures and imaginaries underlying various forms of mobility. Based on research conducted…

Feeling at home in school
In Flanders, students with a migration background are highly overrepresented in the lower-status vocational and technical tracks, experience more grade retention and school and track mobility and have a higher risk of leaving school early than their native peers. The authors aim to shed light on the complexity of school belonging and its significance in these young people’s pursuit of a diploma. The analysis focuses on the lived experiences of th…

Radicalisation
Radicalisation
Radicalisation
Vital insights into the complex nature of the concept of radicalisation Radicalisation is a topical and a much-discussed concept in current European societies. Its use in policy and societal discourses, such as media coverage and educational contexts, is very sensitive. This thought-provoking collection of essays critically addresses the topic of radicalisation from different angles, combining [...]
Environmental migration and displacement
Migration has existed in all times and places and people have migrated for a variety of (combined) reasons: environmental, economic, political, humanitarian, social and cultural. While social and political conflicts that have arisen out of environmental changes are not new, environmental changes have placed some living conditions and other reasons for migration under even more pressure. In this paper, we combine insights from two approaches to th…

Gender and Migration
Gender and Migration
The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and [...]
Migration and Integration in Flanders
Across the world, and due to ongoing globalization, migration is increasingly becoming a part of daily life. But more than ever, migration can no longer be viewed as a simple linear trajectory from A to B. The emergence of transnational communities and intense interactions between regions of origin and of destination have led to new forms of social-cultural praxis and (sub)cultures which exert an important influence on the integration of immigran…
“We hold on to the ones we have”
Moroccan migration in Belgium
Moroccans are one of the largest and most debated migrant groups in Belgium. 'Moroccan Migration in Belgium' analyses diverse facets of this community from a multidisciplinary perspective and addresses the most relevant and some underexposed topics in the rapidly developing field of migration studies. Combining various academic disciplines and different research methods, the book offers a panoramic introspection into the dynamic nature of migrati…
A Migration Project in Retrospect
In the twentieth century, Emirdağ (Turkey) witnessed extensive emigration and is now home to the ‘zero generation’: a group of elderly people who stayed behind when their children moved abroad. We investigate how these elderly people, with at least one child who left the country, evaluate their situation as they have grown older. Using fieldwork observations and in-depth interviews, we found that this group mainly associated the migration of thei…
Moroccan Migration in Belgium
Perceived Human Rights in Van Merkez, Eastern Turkey
The Kurdish population in Turkey and its human rights situation have been a major issue in Turkey’s foreign and domestic politics. There is a need for large-scale empirical evidence on perceptions of human rights or how people judge their own life situation and obstacles to greater empowerment and freedom of choice in the predominantly Kurdish eastern part of Turkey. Providing such empirical input, this study offers insight into the perceived hum…
Migration aspirations and migration cultures
An abundant body of research focused on macrolevel, mesolevel, and microlevel factors explaining why individuals move across international borders. In this paper, we aim to complement the existing literature by exploring how, within a single country, mesolevel factors differently impact migration aspirations, focusing on a case study of Ukraine. We particularly focus on how migration aspirations of individuals in two different regions can be expl…
Involving Roma parents
Recently, societal and academic attention toward the topic of Roma integration has been increasing. With this article we aim to make a contribution to the domain of educational research. We explore strategies that schools can adopt to improve the involvement of Roma parents. Using a theory-based stakeholder evaluation, we more specifically analyse how the organizational model of a primary school contributes to the establishment of trust between b…

Mega-Event Mobilities
Global sports events are rarely far from the public eye. Such mega-events are about much more than the sporting competitions themselves. They entail global exposure and intense struggles by different stakeholders.This is the first book to examine sports mega-events from a mobilities perspective. It analyses the ‘mobile construction’ of global sports mega-events and the role this plays in managing labour, imaginaries, policies and legacies. In par…

Intra-Europese migratie en mobiliteit
Diepgaande studie van de intra-Europese migratie en mobiliteit in Vlaanderen en België. Ondanks de indrukwekkende omvang van intra-Europese migratiestromen kregen deze in België tot op heden slechts zeer geringe wetenschappelijke aandacht in vergelijking met de migratie van niet-Europeanen, oftewel derdelanders. Nochtans is het van vitaal belang dat de intra-Europese migratie een centrale plaats krijgt op [...]
The Second Generation in Belgium
A growing proportion of second-generation Moroccan and Turkish youngsters in Belgium are moving on to higher secondary education and beyond. This trend is greater among Moroccan youngsters than among their Turkish peers. Turkish girls in particular are still married off at a young age, which inevitably affects their educational opportunities. Despite higher participation rates for youngsters from immigrant backgrounds, the educational gap with Be…
Marriage at the intersection between tradition and globalization
In this paper, we will investigate the popularity of marriage migration between Turkish communities in Western Europe and emigration regions in Turkey. Our focus here is specifically on the Belgian case, namely the ‘Emirdag connection’. In Belgium, the majority of immigrants with a Turkish background come from the region of Emirdag, in the province of Afyon. On the basis of quantitative research methodologies, we first consider the magnitude of t…
Gender Dynamics in the Context of Turkish Marriage Migration
This study focuses on gender aspects of Turkish migration to Western Europe, more specifically to Belgium. During the last few decades, marriage has become one of the few means for Turks to settle legally in Western Europe. On the basis of empirical data, mostly gathered using qualitative research methodologies, it is found that the interference between marriage and migration proves to be a crucial element in evaluating gender dimensions and the …
Should I Stay or Should I Go? An Analysis of the Determinants of Intra‐European Student Mobility
In recent years, organised student mobility within the European space has increasingly caught the interest of scholarly researchers. As the focus of most research projects has been on the outcome of mobility programmes, studies into the determinants of credit student mobility remain rather focused on individual decision‐making. However, in order to gain a more profound understanding of how students' motivations to participate in international mob…
Marriage in a ‘Culture of Migration’. Emirdag Marrying into Flanders
The persistently high popularity of migration marriages within large immigrant populations in Western Europe is an intriguing phenomenon. Why do so many young people born and raised in Western Europe opt for an unknown partner coming from a region that, although it is where their parents or grandparents came from, is by and large unknown to them personally? This contribution attempts to shed some light on the dynamics of this particular kind of m…
The Relevance of a “Culture of Migration” in Understanding Migration Aspirations in Contemporary Turkey
This article investigates the relevance of the presence of a “culture of migration” and related migration feedback mechanisms for explaining migration aspirations. This study focuses on the districts of Dinar and Emirdağ in Turkey—which have a distinct migration history toward Europe. The question is raised whether and how migration aspirations of potential migrants change according to the presence of a “culture of migration”—living in a migratio…

Polish immigration in Belgium since 2004
Belgium has been a traditional destination for Polish immigrants since the 19th century. In the period after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Polish migration to Belgium was largely characterized by pendulum movements and illegal stays, but following Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004, the Belgian labour market was gradually opened to Polish citizens. To date, this new situation has not been the subject of research, and we therefore present the fi…
Secular and Religious Nationalism among Young Turkish Women in Belgium
In this article, I examine the role that education plays in influencing Turkish immigrant girls' choice between a more secular and a more religious nationalism. Their choice can be linked to the existence of strong forms of nationalism within their country of origin and to the concrete reality of the immigrant context. Education proves to play a decisive role for immigrant girls in defining their places within a specific nationalistic worldview a…
Breaking the In-Group Out-Group
The ongoing popularity in some second and third generation migrants in Western Europe of marrying a partner from the countries of origin of their (grand)parents is considered to be problematic for micro and macro level societal integration of some migrant populations. Partner choice and marriage practices in migrant communities are problematized in public, media and political discourses by discriminating them from marriage practices in the 'nativ…
Undocumented children and the right to education
In migration control policies, social rights are often restricted in order to discourage immigration. The right to education seems to be the exception to the rule. This paper examines whether the right to education – beyond legal technical questions of the personal scope of application of human rights treaties, and the nature and the meaning of the right – is able to provide empowering leverage to undocumented children, or rather remains a lofty …
Muslim Women and Nationalism
Women are often at the centre of nationalist discourses in Muslim countries. They are used to symbolize both the progressive aspirations of the secular elite and cultural authenticity expressed in Islamic terms. As such, they are central to secular as well as religious nationalism. The impact of western images on the creation of women as symbols of authenticity and cultural resistance within Islamic discourses is apparent. Western views, includin…

Marriage Migration and the Labour Market
This article starts by asking whether economic motivations can explain why so many youngsters with a migrant background choose to marry a relatively unknown partner from the same region as their parents came from, a region that is largely unknown to them, and conversely why so many young people in countries in the South are opting for an unknown partner living in a far away country. In answering these questions Turkish marriage migration to Belgi…
From Nation State to Migration State
and its consequences -the integration of newcomers to a society -has, in just a few years' time, developed from a purely demographic phenomenon into an issue that has altered the 'being' of the Western Nation-state in all its facets. The topic largely dominates the political debate in Flanders, Belgium and at the level of the European Union.

The Local Relevance of Human Rights
Do human rights offer real protection when disadvantaged groups invoke them at the local level in an attempt to improve their living conditions? If so, how can we make sure that the experiences of those invoking human rights at the local level have an impact on the further development of human rights (at national and other levels) so that the local relevance of human rights increases? Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Right…

Religions in Movement
Suicide attacks have become one of the most important and emblematic forms of violence these days, especially since 11 September 2001. This essay aims to explore the growing role of religious factors for self-sacrifice and martyrdom in modern terrorism. This evolution represents a dramatic sign of the (complex) revival of religion in our age.
