Název: From segregation to non-incorporation: a study of a failed school desegregation process in Sweden
Autoři: Osman, Ali, 1956, Lund, Anna, 1969, Lund, Stefan, 1966
Zdroj: British Journal of Sociology of Education. 46(1):113-131
Témata: Desegregation, education, ethnography, modes of incorporation
Popis: The present paper delves into how symbolic boundaries in a school that is undergoing a desegregation process come to shape social boundaries of ‘we-ness’ and ‘otherness’. The theoretical framework of the study starts from an interest in analysing whether symbolic and social boundaries emerge in new encounters during a desegregation process and whether this may produce different modes of incorporation. Peer interactions and schoolwork were observed and interviews with school staff were conducted to investigate school desegregation implementation in a large Swedish town. The town we investigated has formulated a desegregation policy that, over time, has not resulted in desegregation in practice. The results highlight that schools without a coherent pedagogy, idea, or practice for social inclusion face challenges. These challenges, in turn, promote internal micro-segregation and non-incorporation of minority students, despite intentions to promote inclusion.
