Educational biographies of successful Sinti and Roma women

(Postdoctoral Project by Jane Weiß)

 

Project Description

 

The intersectionality of social, gender-specific, family and socio-structural life experiences has been little studied so far, but is nevertheless of high biographical relevance. The aim of the pilot study is to reconstruct the educational pathways of "successful" (linked to the acquisition of certificates as well as in intergenerational comparison) Sinti and Roma women on the basis of narrative-biographical interviews as well as those aspects that are described as beneficial and detrimental. A special focus lies on the subjects' narratives about educational institutions and their structures and patterns of discrimination.
