PhD project
Doing (Dis-)Integration. An ethnographic study of the production of social communities in everyday school life
The dissertation takes the increased risk of exclusion of students with special educational needs in urban middle schools as a starting point and examines practices of social integration of all students in everyday school life. The aim is to draw conclusions about the social integration of students with special educational needs and, more fundamentally, about processes of inclusion and exclusion in class communities. The (social) (dis-) integration of a child is produced by social practices in the (inclusive) school room, both by others and by the respective child itself. Integration in this context means the creation of an integrated subject in a very specific space of possibility that establishes certain behaviors as conceivable or impossible. The focus of the work is therefore on the social practices of the students.
The work is to describe the everyday school life from the perspective of the children with and without special educational needs and to provide information about the social dimension of the school life of students with disabilities or special educational needs. Furthermore, through this perspective, forms of invisible and therefore not articulable social behaviors and their direct consequences on the social practices of the child should become visible. The work will take an analytical look at the behavior of children with (and without) special educational needs and their coping strategies in dealing with an exclusionary social space permeated by power.
