Este texto se ha elaborado de forma específica como documento de estudio para la asignatura Diversidad e Igualdad en Educación, que forma parte del plan de estudios del Grado de Educación Social impartido por la UNED. Las autoras han pensado prioritariamente en los y las estudiantes del Grado y, por tanto, los contenidos y enfoque son los que se derivan de los objetivos, competencias y contenidos propuestos en dicha asignatura, también de las condiciones propias del estudio a distancia. No obstante, esperamos que el libro resulte de interés para toda persona que comparta con nosotras algunas de las cuestiones planteadas en el texto en torno a cómo miramos y entendemos la diversidad en educación; a cómo esta mirada determina lo que esperamos y hacemos como educadores, y a las complejas relaciones entre diversidad e igualdad en educación. La premisa de la que partimos es que la diversidad es normalidad, basta con reconocerla; mientras que la igualdad implica un compromiso ético por parte de los educadores, un compromiso que requiere visibilizar los mecanismos que mantienen y legitiman las desigualdades, así como la búsqueda y puesta en marcha de estrategias educativas para la transformación social hacia un mundo más equitativo y justo. Entre las autoras hay profesoras e investigadoras de distintas universidades y centros de investigación: el Departamento de Antropología, Grupo de Antropología Social del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CCHS-CSIC), el Departament de Filosofia i Treball Social de la Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), Departament de Mètodes d’Investigació i Diagnòstic en Educació de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB) y por supuesto de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED); del Departamento de Antropología Social y Cultural de la Facultad de Filosofía y del Departamento de Métodos de Investigación y Diagnóstico en Educación I de la Facultad de Educación. Todas ellas tienen perfiles y bagajes diversos que enriquecen esta obra, y todas ellas forman parte del Grupo INTER de investigación en Educación Intercultural (www.uned.es/grupointer) que lleva realizando su labor desde 2002 en distintos proyectos nacionales e internacionales sobre diversidad e igualdad en educación, racismo, participación ciudadana y formación de docentes y educadoras.

This book offers a comparative analysis of the intercultural theories and practices developed in the European context. Bringing together work on the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands and Sweden, it examines specific approaches to intercultural education. Structured around a series of core questions concerning the main features of diverse groups of migrants present within a country and within schools, the major issues raised by scientific research on the presence of migrant students, and the adoption of relevant educational policies and practices to address these issues - together with examples of best practice in each case - Intercultural Education in the European Context explores the strengths and weaknesses of the intercultural education approach adopted in each context. Offering a broad framework for the study of intercultural education as adopted in European settings, the book highlights the contribution of education to the development of a fair, democratic and pluralistic Europe. As such, it will appeal to scholars and policy makers in the field of sociology, migration, education and intercultural relations.

Marketization and privatization in compulsory education have spread around the globe. School choice is seen by many to be the panacea to develop the quality of schools and improve school systems worldwide. Additionally in many countries several types of private schools expand and change the school landscapes. The articles of the anthology analyse and discuss these changes in several countries and ask to what extent and in which ways school choice and the growth of private school play a role for education policies and education systems. Which political and civil society actors are active in formulating and promoting school choice and private schooling? And to what extent does the expansion of private schools and school choice address questions of educational inequality and social segregation.

Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.

The issues which are discussed in the 29 chapters of this volume address core matters with respect to modern diverse societies. The most important relate to the following: the societal needs of migrant populations and the educational needs of their children; the exclusivist policies which usually impact upon migrant groups; the need to enrich school texts and curricula with new intercultural and citizenship dimensions; the importance of integrating the notion of Paideia within the school ethos and educational programmes. This volume has a dual aim. The first aim is to envisage the field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education from different disciplines at the international level, describing the new educational and social conditions that have been created by recent migration and identifying new trends in the field. The second aim is to highlight the importance of Multicultural and Intercultural Education in the development of a new citizen, who moves around the world, interacting with different people, and has a dynamic and flexible identity with polymorphic personal, social and cultural characteristics – a new intercultural persona. To sum up, this volume highlights that authors coming from different continents share some common ideas and tend to believe in the notion of Intercultural/Multicultural Education as a useful new dimension within the dynamics of many disciplines, as a new inter-disciplinary approach that is embedded within them and which characterizes modern societies.

The current societal and social reality in Europe is undergoing far-reaching changes due to the phenomenon of migration. Educational policy and pedagogical practice play a key role in the academic support of immigrant children in schools. In this volume, the connections between societal change and educational issues in relation to two southern European nations, Spain and Italy, are analyzed. The stories of intercultural communication and integration of these two case studies focus on five themes: linguistic diversity, the performance gap, teacher training programs and school culture, the role of music education in multicultural and multilingual contexts, and the development of a supranational education as an improvement for multicultural education. The volume is of particular relevance for educational researchers, as well as for the interested general reader. It takes the reader to public and private entities in Italy and Spain, where intercultural education is part of societal discourse, and serves as a sounding board for the discussion of developments in other parts of Europe with similar demographics.
