Research
Migration is considered as a driver of societal diversification processes. Diversity resulting from migration requires processes of mental and institutional inclusion that encompass conflicts and chances. In these processes, chances should be realized, conflicts constructively moderated, and ascription effects, visible in stereotype attitudes and behavior, should be reflected and reduced. By conducting basic and applied research, this unit provides orientation knowledge for policy making and education practice. The ascription of “migration background”, basically encompassing all per-sons who have immigrated (first generation) and the offspring of immigrated persons and foreign nationals (second and potentially third generation), is addressed and critically reflected. Methodo-logically, the focus is on mixed methods designs and qualitative interview analysis.
All researchers interact in regular monthly colloquia to improve research designs and instruments.

As part of her research semester, Yasemin Karakaşoğlu accepted the invitation of our cooperation partners Prof. Dr. Akiko Ito and Prof. Dr. Hitoshi Sato from the University of Fukuoka and presented the Bremen model to the members of her research group on the “Importance of diversity in teacher education in international comparison”. The hybrid event, which was attended by colleagues from the USA, New Zealand and Sweden, led to a lively exchange about the different national attributions of meaning to diversity and inclusion. The colleagues are planning a return visit to Bremen in 2025 to further develop a joint research project.You can find the announcement of the lecture HERE
