»You are guest worker children!« Science, School and the Production of Figures of Migration (A03)

• Subject Area: Modern and Contemporary History
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 501120656

The project examines the role of migration-related research in the formation of figures such as "foreigners’ children", "guest workers' children" or "pupils with a migration background" and their translation into practical knowledge in the German school system. This is traced genealogically since the late 1960s through the analysis of academic and school practice-oriented writings, media and political texts as well as individual professional biographies of actors in the production of knowledge.
