Aman, Robert; Dahlstedt, Magnus – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2023
This article scrutinises the ways in which pupils who have experienced transnational migration construct 'home' and the unmaking of 'home'. Researchers have argued that migrants' perspectives on belonging are seldom granted scholarly attention. Here, we seek to redress this oversight by inquiring about the ways in which newly arrived migrants…

Lapresta-Rey, Cecilio; Janés, Judit; Alarcón, Amado – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2023
One of the most influential factors in the future access to the labour market of a young descendant of migrants is their occupational aspirations. Sociodemographic, socio-cultural, and socio-professional family elements or knowledge of languages are key in their formation. But in bilingual societies like Catalonia, the symbolism associated with…

Manoff, Itamar; Ruitenberg, Claudia W. – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2023
