Institute for Research in Social Communication

Description of the expertise offered

Theory and practice of including marginalized children and young people in education and social life. In spite of the current political and professional efforts at school and social inclusion, a significant part of children labelled as minority, marginal or disadvantaged are facing marginalizing, segregational or discriminating practices. Another topical problem is, among others, insufficient transformation of knowledge relating to an inclusion from academic sphere to practice. I deal with the transformation of knowledge relating to an inclusion from academic sphere to practice and I analyze its civic, social, psychological, and educational dimensions of inclusion marginalised children and young people. I also take care of how marginalized children and their parents manage their social situation, and how actors in the education system make it easier for them or make it difficult for them.
