At the Department of Migration and Education Research, we focus on crucial questions of inequality in education, such as:

• What are the implications of (forced) migration, globalisation and social inequalities for education, socialisation, learning and teaching?
• To what extent are educational actors, practices, concepts, and organisations involved in the production and maintenance of ideologies of inequality (e.g. racism, linguicism, antisemitism, right-wing extremism, etc.) and precarious orders of (non-)belonging?
• Where are possibilities for intervention and deconstruction, i.e. which pedagogical models, concepts, measures (at certain moments) contribute to a normalisation of migration and a de-dramatisation of migration-related diversity as well as to an increase in educational equity?
• Which theories and empirical research perspectives are suitable for a power-critical analysis of processes of education and socialisation under conditions of dominance, especially in regard to migration and asylum regimes?
