Paper Session
Contribution
In many European countries, there have been calls to diversify the teaching profession as a response to an increasing diversity within student populations. These calls are often based on underlying assumptions, that teachers with a personal migration history are well placed to act as role models for immigrant students, to have a deep understanding on the cultural beliefs and practices of their diverse students and to contribute intercultural perspectives to school curricula. However, these assumptions often lack differentiation and they run the risk of constructing a homogenous group of ‘immigrant teachers’ by positioning ‘them’ as ‘other’ teachers and as experts for intercultural issues, while the complexity of experiences and the facets of professionalism are being overlooked (Santoro, 2013).
The study that shall be presented, addresses this lack of differentiation for the case of the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Pursuing a qualitative methodological approach, it gives answers to the following questions:
- What kind of experiences with difference and belonging do teachers of the second immigrant generation make - in the course of their biographies as well as in the course of their becoming and being a teacher?
- How do they deal with these experiences?
- How are their professional ways of dealing with difference and belonging related to their biographical experiences and ways of dealing with these experiences?
