Normative Contestation in Educational Systems: A comparative examination of Migrant Education in Balkan Route Countries
The project focuses on six Balkan route countries (Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina) in order to inform how norm contestation around schooling migrants has played out and in which ways national governments, international organizations, and civil society actors have attempted to address the need for adequate, inclusive migrant education.

International Research Collaboration on Gender, Youth and Mobilities
This project aims to explore the possibility for establishing a solid, interdisciplinary research collaboration on young adulthood from an integrative perspective of gender and mobilities, with the aim of identifying internationally viable research themes. Our proposal involves five social scientists from Sociology, Educational Science and Communication Studies based at the PLUS and Hong Kong. Given our general common interest in gender, youth, and spatial and social mobilities, we aim to tease out a research agenda pertinent to the issue of (1) ‘marriageability’, (2) prolonged co-residence with parents, and (3) the ‘employability’ of former international students who have returned to China/Austria. Based on this, we will map the state of the art, which will serve as a sound basis for prospective research projects in China and Austria, strengthening and widening the existing international and interdisciplinary collaboration between the two universities. The activities during the EPU project phase will enable the partners to connect, exchange on these selected themes and develop a coherent, internationally competitive research program.
