This open access volume provides an understanding of the different
aspects of success, school continuity and social mobility among
European Roma, including the motives justifying the high rates of
school dropout and failure among this group. It offers a critical
and reflexive perspective about social reality from a
multidisciplinary and transversal point of view, sharing knowledge
and practices in different countries about the articulations
between Roma families, individuals, school and public policies.
Over time, there has been an increase in the educational attainment
of European citizens, but there are still persistent inequalities
between Roma and non-Roma, including gender inequalities, which
greatly affect Roma women. The volume explores the issue of Roma
education and includes chapters from Western European, South and
Central and Eastern European researchers using different
theoretical and methodological perspectives. The intersection of
this diversity and plurality of standpoints makes possible to
obtain a comprehensive view on the education and schooling of
European Roma.
Bringing together the work of scholars from across Europe, this
book shows how Simmel's categories can be used to explore
contemporary issues and further shed light on trends characteristic
of global modernity. Thematically organised around the major
societal challenges currently faced by developed countries –
those of making societies that are inclusive, reflexive and
creative, sustainable, and democratic societies – it examines
diverse phenomena, such as living in an increasingly multicultural
societies, the social exclusion of vulnerable ethnic groups, the
increasing concern with cyberbullying, the need to fight climate
change, the rise of political populism, and the recruitment of
youths from western countries to Islamic religious fundamentalism.
Drawing on Simmel’s sociological theory and expounding new
approaches to research inspired by his work, this volume emphasises
the conceptual pillars of Simmelian thought, meanings, processes,
and forms. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and
social theory with interests in the work of Simmel and its
contemporary relevance.
