This case is based on our cross-cultural study of Israeli middle-class mothers' engagement in their children's education.

Wallace, Derron – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2018

This paper explores the language ideologies of three middle-class migrant Greek families in Luxembourg, one 'established' family and two 'new' crisis-led migrant families, all of whose children attend Luxembourgish state schools.

Yemini, Miri – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2018
In recent decades, many countries began integrating global citizenship education (GCE) into their curricula, both in response to the needs of a diversified pupil body formed by global migrations flows and as a means to prepare pupils to compete and engage in modern globalized society. Frequently, this integration takes place alongside an…

Rowe, Emma E. – International Studies in Sociology of Education, 2016

Moreover, in response to growing societal concerns…

Husain, Matt M.; Osswald, Karina – Policy Futures in Education, 2016
Bangladesh's post-secondary education has become a hunting ground for local economic conglomerates and their transnational allies.
