Violence at School: A Sample of Young Muslims and Young Valencians
2014
AbstractViolence at school is considered to be an important issue in Spain, despite the fact that the majority of secondary education students reject it. Over the last decade awareness has been raised with regard to this problem. In this study we aim to analyze the perception of school violence held by two very different groups of secondary education students. A sample of young Muslims (n=88) and young Valencians (n=88) (aged between 12 and 18) has been used, all of whom live in the city of Valencia (Spain) and study in 12 secondary educational centers in the city. We observed significant differences in the perception that young Muslims and Valencians have of this violence. Both groups reje…
Crisis and the strategies of immigrants in Spain: the Latin accent
2014
The crisis has started a new migration cycle in Spain. As an effect of the restrictive measures taken and the depth of the crisis, migrant inflows have reduced and outflows have increased, the latter especially among Latin Americans. This paper explores the impact of the crisis on migrant people and their families in terms of unemployment, of declining living conditions, and of legal uncertainty. In this situation, a growing minority of immigrants, particularly Latin Americans, implement transnational strategies such as return, circular migration and others. Notwithstanding this, most immigrants are facing the crisis here, combining work, social and family strategies.

2013
International audience; This paper aims to compare the educational outcomes of children of immigrants in France and in the US to understand the educational inequalities and opportunities for social mobility for the second generation in both countries. The comparison is focused on children from two groups: North Africans in France and Mexicans in the US. By using two longitudinal datasets, the French Educational Panel Survey and Add Health, we examine aspirations, expectations and attainment in secondary education in the two contexts. We explore in particular the role of parental education on attainment. We also utilize in-depth interviews to understand their educational experiences and thei…
Kulttuurienvälinen osaaminen koulutuksessa ja työelämässä
2023
Kirjan tavoitteena on tuoda yksi puheenvuoro laajaan keskusteluun ja tutkimukseen monikulttuurisuudesta ja kulttuurienvälisyydestä sekä avata näkökulmia näihin. Kirjan artikkelit pohjaavat erillisiin tutkimuksiin Jyväskylän yliopiston Koulutuksen tutkimuslaitoksen (KTL) kattohankkeen, Johanna Lasosen tutkimusryhmän Koulutuksen ja työelämän monikulttuuristuminen, sisällä. Osassa artikkeleita kulttuurienvälisyys on ollut tutkimuksen keskiössä, osassa se sivuaa kysymyksenasettelua. Monikulttuurisuuden ja kulttuurienvälisyyden kenttä on valtava ja tutkimusaluekin laaja. Metodit ja tutkimuskysymykset poikkeavat toisistaan paljon, mutta jokaisella puheenvuorolla on paikkansa tällä areenalla. Toiv…

LATENT CONFLICTS AND PLANNING ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN THE SOUTH-EASTERN SICILY “LANDSCAPE OF EXCEPTION”
2015
In the last 30 years Southern Italy has changed from being a region of emigration to one of immigration, in main cities as well as in rural areas. Accordingly, South-Eastern Sicily is recently experiencing remarkable physical, social and economic changes, with significant transformation of its agricultural landscape. Statistics of the last 20 years show high levels of development of the agricultural sector, with remarkable innovation and internationalization of production. At the same time non-official statistics show a higher concentration of - often illegal - immigrants in rural areas. On the other hand, landscape planning and management ensure more “sustainable” local development. The di…
