The school as socialization agent in migrant families

The proposed project seeks to investigate how, i.e. through what kind of (discursive) processes, multi-ethnic schools function as a mediator in bringing about social change that results in increasing social cohesion in the domain of socialization. The project focuses on the communicative processes between migrant families and schools as it is assumed that these are able to make these processes of change visible. Its goal is to contribute to the question of how Dutch institutions and migrant parents are able to deal with and bridge different views on education in processes of strategic decision-making in the school choice procedure.
