Migration and Educational Policymaking in China: A Critical Engagement with Policy Sociology and Bourdieu (China Perspectives)
by Hui YuBy concentrating on the topic of school enrolment policy for rural-to-urban migrant children in China, this book analyses the unequal power relations and structural inequalities that can appear in the context of education. The author complements current knowledge by applying theoretical resources of policy sociology, in particular the thinking of Pierre Bourdieu, into analysis of educational policymaking in the Chinese context. He takes a policy trajectory approach to trace the (unequal) power relations and structural inequalities invested and realised in the school enrolment policy. Rooted in rich qualitative data from five metropolises, he examines both external influences of politics, economy and public policy on educational policy agenda setting and discursive practices within the educational policy cycle, inherent in the post-2013 restrictive school enrolment policy. Structural constraints and agency in the local context are also explored, indicating that the intersectional effects of political, economic, and civic logic can result in differentiated modes of policy enactment. The study will be of interest to scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners in helping address policymaking and social justice in education for migrants and other marginalised groups.

Migration and Transformation:
by Pirkko Pitkänen Deniz Sert Ahmet IçduyguPeople's transnational ties and activities are acquiring ever greater importance and topicality in today's world. The focus of this book lies in the complex and multi-level processes of migrant transnationalism in four transnational spaces: India-UK, Morocco-France and Turkey-Germany and Estonia-Finland. The main question is, how people's activities across national borders emerge, function, and change, and how are they related to the processes of governance in increasingly complex and interconnected world? The book is based on the findings of a three-year research project TRANS-NET which brough together internationally acknowledged experts from Europe, Asia and Africa. As no single discipline could investigate all the components of the topic in question, the project adopted a multi-disciplinary approach: among the contributors, there are sociologists, policy analysts, political scientists, social and cultural anthropologists, educational scientists, and economists. The chapters show that people's transnational linkages and migration across national boundaries entail manifold political, economic, social, cultural and educational implications. Although political-social-economic-educational transformations fostered by migrant transnationalism constitute the main topic of the book, the starting assumption is that the large-scale institutional and actor-centred patterns of transformation come about through a constellation of parallel processes.

Migration, Diversity, and Education
by Saija Benjamin Fred DervinThe concept of Third Culture Kids is often used to describe people who have spent their childhood on the move, living in many different countries and languages. This book examines the hype, relevance and myths surrounding the concept while also redefining it within a broader study of transnationality to demonstrate the variety of stories involved.
Migration, Education and Change (Routledge Research in Education #Vol. 7)
by Sigrid LuchtenbergThe diverse contributions in this book discuss both the classical and the more recent forms of migration. Illustrating the developments in various European countries and Australia as a 'classical immigration state', they tackle these different forms of migration and investigate their divergent educational implications regarding identity, citizenship and language education. This book will be of essential interest for students and researchers interested in the current discourse on multicultural education.
Migration, Education and Employment: Pathways to Successful Integration (Education, Equity, Economy #10)
by Marianne Teräs Ali Osman Eva EliassonThis is an open access book which focuses on different aspects of education, employment, and successful integration of migrants in three countries: Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. The chapters in this book reflect on these issues from micro, meso and macro perspectives; some are based on interviews with migrants and people who work with them, others on documents and literature about migration. There are different pathways for skilled migrants to vocations. Some start working in their previous vocations after arriving in the new environment. Some re-enter their professions but on a lower level. Some can re-train themselves in a new vocation, and some will go to further education, as studies in different chapters of this book suggest. Common for successful integration seems to be several intertwined factors: the target language competence, strong motivation and agency, supporting networks and supporting persons, as well as structural opportunities of the new environment. The book’s editorial board takes an eclectic view, hoping to start an academic debate about what ‘successful integration’ means. While discussions about the integration of migrants tend to focus on integration failures, there are millions of migrants, in different countries, who have successfully integrated into their new societies.
Migration, Religion and Early Childhood Education (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Ednan AslanAlthough it is rarely given sufficient consideration in either scholarly or political debates, early childhood education plays a crucial role in the integration process of young immigrants in European countries, since it not only enables the children to be integrated into society, both linguistically and culturally, but it also provides their parents with the opportunity, through their children, to view the society more directly and to reflect on their own values in the encounter, or to potentially seek new orientations. The quality of young migrants’ educational achievements, which have repeatedly caused current political debates in European countries, should not be considered independently of the elementary education measures since they are very closely related.Prof. Dr. Ednan Aslan is Chair of Islamic Religious Education at the Institute for Islamic Theological Studies at the University of Vienna.
Migration, Religion, and Schooling in Liberal Democratic States (Routledge Research in Religion and Education)
by Bruce A. ColletSpeaking to an increasingly fluid world involving the migration of peoples and cultures, the global resilience of religion, and the role of schooling in fostering liberal democratic values, this book investigates the degree to which secular public schools might facilitate religious migrants’ societal integration. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach which draws from political philosophy, the philosophy of education, and the sociology of religion, Collet argues that public schools in liberal democratic states can best facilitate the pluralistic integration of religious migrant students through adopting policies of recognition and accommodation that are not only reasonable in the light of liberal democratic principles, but also informed in terms of what we understand regarding the natural role religion often plays in acculturation.
Migration und Migrant(inn)en im Schulbuch
by Helmut GeuenichSchulbücher filtern - wie andere Massenmedien auch - Informationen über Gesellschaft und Politik. Sie erreichen über die Schule und den Unterricht Kinder und Jugendliche in großer Zahl und beeinflussen das Bewusstsein vieler Menschen. Insofern kann eine Analyse der Darstellung von Migration und Migrant(inn)en in Schulbüchern einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erklärung der Einstellung vieler Bundesbürger zu entsprechenden Themen leisten. Eine derartige Untersuchung erscheint auch deshalb von Bedeutung, weil Schulbücher in dieser Hinsicht im Unterschied zu anderen Medien (Fernsehen / Zeitungen) selten, für Nordrhein-Westfalen noch nie, wissenschaftlich erforscht wurden.

by Susanne Bücken Noelia Streicher Astride Velho Paul MecherilDass in pädagogischen Zusammenhängen nicht nur das Thema Diskriminierung zum Gegenstand werden kann, sondern pädagogische Settings selbst Orte der Diskriminierung sein können, stellt den Bezugspunkt des vorliegenden Bandes dar. Mit Bezug auf diese gewissermaßen Verdopplung des Themas Diskriminierung in pädagogischen Settings werden in dem Sammelband Komplexitäten, Widersprüchlichkeiten und Verstrickungen, welche grundlegende Spannungsverhältnisse der kritischen Thematisierung migrationsgesellschaftlicher Diskriminierung betreffen, analysiert und reflektiert. Die Beiträge wenden sich dabei unterschiedlichen pädagogischen Bereichen zu.

Miles, Ornette, Cecil: Jazz Beyond Jazz
by Howard MandelMiles Davis, Ornette Coleman, and Cecil Taylor revolutionized music from the end of the twentieth century into the twenty-first, expanding on jazz traditions with distinctly new concepts of composition, improvisation, instrumentation, and performance. They remain figures of controversy due to their border-crossing processes. Miles, Ornette, Cecil is the first book to connect these three icons of the avant-garde, examining why they are lionized by some critics and reviled by others, while influencing musicians across such divides as genre, geography, and racial and ethnic backgrounds. Mandel offers fresh insights into their careers from interviews with all three artists and many of their significant collaborators, as well as a thorough overview of earlier interpretations of their work.
