- School practices to involve parents in the integration of newly arrived migrant studentsPublication . Axisa, Glorianne Borg; Meehan, Amalee; Roman, Monica; Štuopytė, Edita; Bäckström, Bárbara; Ergünay, Onur; Bäckström, Bárbara; RoutledgeAlthough education remains a key factor in receiving and integrating Newly Arrived Migrant Students (NAMS), local school practices differ among countries. This is particularly true regarding practices that schools adopt to involve parents of NAMS in the integration of their children into the school system. Literature in the field suggests that the more involved parents are in school life, the more successful integration is. However, school practices to involve parents are under-represented in this literature. In an attempt to fill this gap, this chapter investigates school practices regarding NAMS parental involvement within the specific national contexts. These contexts are representative of a large multinational European project on receiving NAMS in European countries such as Ireland, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania, and Turkey. The findings suggest that there are many initiatives and effective practices at both top-level and local-level initiatives, which implies adopting a Whole Education Approach perspective on each site. It appears that these initiatives and practices meet with varying degrees of success in inclusion of NAMS. The findings also suggest that the issue is larger than parental involvement; school practices and top-level policies may need to give further consideration to dimensions such as wider school family relationships and the role of community.
- A social science research laboratory as a mixed methods on human rights in a fragile state: Guinea-Bissau 2014–2024Publication . Turè, Bubacar; Sangreman, Carlos; Faria, Raquel; Bäckström, BárbaraThis case study describes and reflects on an original research process on Economic and Social Hu-man Rights in Guinea-Bissau between 2014 and 2024. Human rights research is multidisciplinary, with sociology and political science bearing the greatest weight, as they are closely connected due to their focus on social structures, political institutions, and processes of governance and government, but law, history, psychology, social psychology, economics, and anthropology also must be considered when defining a research methodology on this topic. The challenge of this case study is to show what has been done over 10 years in the research for a methodology to articulate these disciplines, with the de-finition of different samples, with data collection through face-to-face surveys, presentations of results, debates, interviews, and publications, with the considering of analyses of other collateral themes, to produce a consistent and well-founded analysis. What we hope to be able to share are, above all, two aspects of research in general: first, designing a methodology is an activity that is built on a more artisanal logic. In other words, it must be thought out and carried out with patience, persistence, and great care regarding "ready-made" stereotypes meth-ods. Second, the larger and more complex the problem to be investigated and its social context, the more time is needed for research that coherently and satisfactorily answers the hypotheses put for-ward. It is the answers to these methodological questions that we have tried to find over the years that we hope to summarize and present in this chapter.
