PIRE: The Children of Immigrants in Schools

这个国际研究和教育伙伴关系（PIRE）将来自五所美国大学的研究人员与五个欧洲同行联系起来，研究移民儿童在学校成功或失败的驱动因素，最终导致移民社区融入社会。 奥尔巴尼的纽约州立大学的理查德·阿尔巴领导着一个由五个双边小组组成的网络小组，他们负责调查中心问题的具体方面。 联合研究工作得到了美国研究生和博士后研究员研究培训计划的补充，他们有广泛的机会与国际合作伙伴机构的高级研究人员合作。结果应该提高我们的知识，特别是教育安排和过程，以及如何在国家教育制度的主要差异塑造移民青年的融合。五个主要团队和他们的研究重点是：1）纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼的理查德·阿尔巴和巴黎国家科学研究中心的罗克珊·西尔伯曼，他们将研究法国和美国从教育体系到劳动力市场的转变; 2)纽约城市大学的Jennifer Holdaway和阿姆斯特丹大学的Maurice Crul，他们将研究纽约和阿姆斯特丹的学校资金和制度安排; 3）哈佛大学的玛丽沃茨和牛津大学的Anthony Heath，他们将研究英国和美国的中学后教育以及时机、差异和第二次机会的影响; 4)纽约大学的Carola Suarez-Orozco和瑞典哥德堡大学的Mikael Alexandersson，他们将为不同移民出身的儿童研究创新的、有前途的实践学校; 5）加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的Margaret吉布森和西班牙巴塞罗那自治大学的Silvia Carrasco。 这第五个小组将继续研究社会，文化和语言的界限和社会关系，移民儿童必须穿越在加州和加泰罗尼亚。 将通过社会科学研究理事会国际移民方案组织的一系列联网和培训活动实现团队融合。 这些活动应加深高级和初级学者与他们的欧洲合作伙伴之间的联系，同时使他们能够分享和建立他们的学科，区域和专题专长。通过使美国和欧洲的专家联合收割机互补的人才，实现推进科学知识的计划目标，在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域共享研究资源。 更广泛的影响包括为成功的国际合作开发一个新的模式，以及一批接受培训的美国初级研究人员在移民研究领域进行跨国比较研究。

This Partnership for International Research and Education (PIRE) links researchers from five U.S. universities with five European counterparts to examine the drivers of success or failure of immigrant children in schools which ultimately lead to incorporation of immigrant communities into society. Richard Alba of State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany heads what may be called a networked group of five-bilateral teams that are matched to investigate specific aspects of the central question. The combined research effort is complemented by a program of research training for U.S. graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, who have extensive opportunities to work with senior investigators at institutions of the international partners. Results should improve our knowledge of particular educational arrangements and processes as well as how the key differences in national education systems shape the integration of immigrant youth.The five principal teams and their research focus are: 1) Richard Alba of SUNY Albany with Roxane Silberman of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris, who will study the transition from the education system to the labor market in France and the U.S.; 2) Jennifer Holdaway of City University of New York with Maurice Crul of the University of Amsterdam, who will examine school funding and institutional arrangements for tracking in New York and Amsterdam; 3) Mary Waters of Harvard University with Anthony Heath of Oxford University, who will look at post-secondary education and the impact of timing, differentiation, and second chances in Great Britain and the U.S.; 4) Carola Suarez-Orozco of New York University and Mikael Alexandersson of Goteborg University, Sweden, who will study innovative, promising practice schools for children of diverse immigrant origins; and 5) Margaret Gibson of the University of California-Santa Cruz and partner Silvia Carrasco of Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain. This fifth team will pursue research on social, cultural and linguistic boundaries and the social relations that immigrant children must traverse in California and Catalonia. Team integration will be accomplished through a series of networking and training activities organized by the International Migrant Program of the Social Science Research Council. Such activities should deepen links between senior and junior scholars and their European partners while enabling them to share and build upon their disciplinary, regional, and topical expertise.This interdisciplinary PIRE, covering the fields of sociology, political science, anthropology, psychology and education, fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling experts in the United States and Europe to combine complementary talents and share research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include development of a new model for successful international collaboration and a cohort of junior U.S. researchers trained to conduct cross-national comparative research in the field of migration studies.
