The members of the research group involved in this project have over twenty years of experience in researching the educational processes of children from immigrant and minority populations. Their studies have focused on:

  • The conditions that facilitate or hinder the educational trajectories of boys and girls from migrant and minority families, and how these factors contribute to educational success or failure.
  • The analysis of barriers and facilitating factors in the dynamics of educational institutions.
  • The analysis of differentiated success trajectories of young people, children, and adolescents of migrant origin, and the construction of their identities.

In line with these positions, in our previous research project Trans-Emigra, we explored the construction of identity among girls and parenthood within Muslim families in Spain.

TRANS-EMIGRA

The AGEncias project represents thematic continuity to the previous project. “Trans-Emigra. Migrations and transnational spaces of education.. As a result of the fieldwork conducted with girls and families of Moroccan, Pakistani, Senegalese, Gambian, and Guinean origin, various video-ethnographic pieces were edited. These audiovisual narratives were organized around five categories: storytellers, transitions, daily life, community, and scrapbooking. We present some examples.

STORYTELLERS.   Inbetweener princesses
TRANSITIONS. Memories, perceptions, projects
VIDA COTIDIANA.  School support
