Ksenia Tenisheva presents: “Deprivation and educational adaptability of migrant students in Russian schools”

The Council of Young Scientists of the Department of Sociology of St. Petersburg State University and the Center for German and European Studies invite for the final seminar of the autumn session “Scientific Wednesdays” on the topic “Ethnic stereotyping and social exclusion in school”, which will take place on Wednesday, December 21, 2016, at 19:00. The seminar will be held at the Department of Sociology of St. Petersburg State University (Smolny Street 1/3, Entrance 9, room 229). 

Ksenia Tenisheva (HSE, St. Petersburg) will present her talk “Deprivation and educational adaptability of migrant students in Russian schools” with results of her study on the impact of the economic and social context on the academic performance and strategies of students. 
Alisa Aliyeva and Raisa Akifieva (HSE, St. Petersburg) will make a presentation “Influence of ethnicity of students on expectations and stereotypes of teachers”, which investigates the question: does the student ethnicity affect their perception by teachers? And if so, just how much the teacher perceptions conform to negative stereotypes? 
During the general discussion we want to discuss the formation and reproduction of the system of educational inequality in the modern Russia, and investigate whether we are witnessing indeed an increased differentiation in the educational system.
