Welcome to Sociology of Migration and Education!
The basic thematic orientation within education and migration research is summarized by the term superdiverse class society, i.e. a systematic focus on social inequality and diversity relationships as well as the associated areas of conflict and potential. One focus in the context of superdiversity is school, integration and discrimination research. In addition, the professorship has strong links to cultural and conflict sociology.
