    VENI-research

    Education is the most crucial factor in facilitating social mobility but may also play a major role in the reproduction of social inequalities. A wide body of sociological literature addresses the question of how parents strategically use different resources to gain access to desired education. Geographic studies stress the central role of neighbourhood for access to education.

    This project adopts a relational approach to explaining educational inequalities by integrating geographical perspectives with the sociological literature on school choice strategies. It primarily focuses on how parents strategically use various forms of capital (economic, cultural and social) in both the educational and the residential field to secure access to good primary schools. Building on my concept of socio-spatial strategies for school choice and comparing working class and middle class, native and non-native parents, I will investigate how inequalities are reproduced through unequal access to education.
    The main question of this research project is: How can educational inequalities be explained through the socio-spatial strategies of school choice of different groups of parents?

    Mixed Classes and Pedagogical Solutions (MAPS)

    Urban and school segregation in cities result in diversification of the actual educational environments, where children study and spend their time in urban schools. Especially in (lower-)secondary education the levels of school segregation have increased in the capital areas of Finland, Iceland and the Netherlands. How about in (pre-)primary schools? Mixed classes And Pedagogical Solutions (MAPS) intends to offer a comparative view on policies and practices of inclusion in (pre-)primary education.

    PhD Dissertation

    Urban middle-class families.
    The study investigates how practices of young middle-class urbanites change when they become parents. It establishes a link between the neighbourhood as place of residence andtheway in which lives are socially and spatially organised. The project combines time-space budget approaches with Bourdieu's theories on practice and taste. It will research the scale of urban middle-class family life, the meaning of place in family life, and the way in which class position structures different residential practices within the middle classes.
