Abstract: The paper focuses on language in transnational education and puts children's perspectives in the spotlight. In light of increasing transnational mobility, their voices are of particular significance: How do transnational children - children with migration experience - perceive the role of languages in educational trajectories? In order to answer these questions, a qualitative study was conducted with children of Soviet immigrants who were socialized in a Hebrew-speaking education system and who are today pupils in Germany. The findings from group conversation and language portraits allow deep insights into children's perspectives on multilingual practices and highlight the importance of the environment - in this case, a German school that became part of transnational education by offering opportunities for students with migration experience

Abstract: Globalisation and the political process of European integration opened the European Union member states to one another. As different EU member states have different languages, participation in globalisation and the process of European integration is dependent on Europeans’ ability to speak the languages of others. Those who speak multiple languages can more easily come into contact with citizens of other countries, conduct business and diplomacy, cooperate academically, organise protests across national boundaries, or enter into romantic relations with them. In short, they can socialise transnationally in a number of different dimensions. Those who only speak their native language are, in contrast, tied to their home country and can only take slight advantage of the perks of a united Europe and a globalised world. Possessing transnational linguistic capital is a deciding factor in whether or not someone can participate in an emerging European society; it becomes a new measure of so

Transnational education, language and identity: a case from Mexico

Abstract: Educating for a future that assumes students will be educated in the country where they were born or that they will remain in the country where they are currently in school does not reflect the reality of the movement of people in an age of globalization. The research presented here examines the case of children and youth in Mexican public schools who have had some or all of their education in the United States, transnational students (TS) with a particular focus on their linguistic situation. Results suggest that TS struggle with the linguistic transition from Spanish as language of the home to Spanish as the language of education. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research and application to other contexts

Abstract: Auf der Basis einer produktiven Zusammenführung von Erkenntnissen aus dem Bereich der postkolonialen und 'radikalen' Entwicklungsforschung und queeren Auseinandersetzungen mit homonationalistischen Implikationen globaler LGBTIQ*-Politiken diskutiert dieser Beitrag das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und transnationaler queerer Solidarität. Es wird gezeigt, inwiefern Solidarität vor dem Hintergrund einer problematischen Aktualisierung modernisierungstheoretischer und developmentalistischer Annahmen im Zuge LGBTIQ*-inklusiver bzw. SOGI-sensibler Entwicklungsagenden vor allem als eine Verantwortung ‚der Entwickelten‘ bzw. mit Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak gesprochen, als "burden of the fittest", geframt wird. In diesem Zusammenhang nimmt der Beitrag auf der Basis postkolonialer Entwicklungskritiken die selbstaffirmativen Implikationen von entwicklungspolitischen Artikulationen transnationaler queerer Solidarität in den Blick und untersucht, inwieweit diese als ein

Abstract: In the Global South, Indigenous and Native people continue to live under colonial relations within formally independent nation-states. The author offers a critical perspective on contemporary expressions of international solidarity and transnational advocacy. He combines approaches from critical race and decolonial studies with an activist ethnography on networked spaces of encounters created through solidarity activism by Mapuche and non-Mapuche actors. Departing from those experiences, this book not only presents potential pitfalls of transnational advocacy but suggests new ways of understanding and practicing solidarity

Abstract: Das Phänomen der internationalen interkulturellen Heiratsmigration gewinnt seit Jahren zunehmend an Bedeutung. In ihm verweben und verdichten sich vielfältige Dynamiken zwischen Globalem und Lokalem, zwischen Ökonomie, Kultur und Geschlecht, zwischen Heirat und Ehe sowie zwischen Familie und Arbeit auf komplexe Weise. In dieser ethnographischen Migrationsstudie wird anhand dichter Fallbeschreibungen die Vernetzung zwischen Herkunfts- und Zielland philippinischer Heiratsmigrantinnen nachgezeichnet. Auf der Spurensuche nach kulturellen Bedeutungszusammenhängen ebenso wie nach alltäglichen Lebensstrategien wird eine kreative Verschränkung von kleinen und großen Erzählungen und ethnologischen Interpretationen und Analysen hergestellt. Im Ergebnis wird mit zahlreichen Klischees über Heiratsmigrantinnen aufgeräumt
