Educational scientist researching migrant inclusion in national education systems.
My research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the contextual conditions shaping teaching and learning for newly arrived migrant children — from preparatory-class instruction to how classrooms adapt as they grow more diverse.
Understanding how education systems include newly arrived students
I am an educational scientist working on the inclusion of immigrant children into national education systems. My research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to explore contextual conditions shaping teaching and learning activities.
I am a DFG Walter Benjamin postdoctoral researcher at the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where I lead a research project on the educational spillover effects of newly arrived migrant students in Germany.
