On-site event
September 19 2024 (all day) to November 29 2024 (all day)

The Franco-German research project is supported by the thematic research network “Socialisation, familles et genre en contexte migratoire / Socialization, families and gender in the context of migration”, which emerged from the close collaboration between UMR 7069 “LinCs” (Laboratoire interdisciplinaire en études culturelles) and the Goethe University Frankfurt. Since September 2015, the project has carried the label “projet pilote pédagogique et de recherche” of the University of Strasbourg.
It deals with the biographical assessment of the language learning policies of migrants and their descendants who have come to France and Germany as part of economic migration, as asylum seekers, refugees or in the context of family reunification, for study purposes or for health reasons. We also deal with other topics such as access to medical care in connection with trauma, the policy of recognizing facts related to colonization and genocide, the measures taken by the city of Strasbourg to integrate the Roma population, the school situation of migrant children depending on their age of arrival in France and Germany or the comparative situation of non-European students in France and Germany.

The Franco-German research network works collaboratively and comparatively on the basis of qualitative empirical material.

The Franco-German meetings, which will take place in 2024-2025, aim to expand the qualitative data base with limited access in the field of sociology of international migration and to strengthen collaborative social science approaches through action research.

The collaborative analysis workshops will involve the Universities of Frankfurt and Strasbourg, the University of Poitiers and the Martin Luther University of Halle in collaboration with the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), the municipalities of Strasbourg and Frankfurt and civil society actors.
