“…The new Francophone geographie de l'enseignement has extended to Belgium and directly links to international debates. Empirical research projects are carried out not only in France and Belgium (Marissal 2017;Danhier & Devleeshouwer 2017), but also the United States (Nafaa, 2017).…”

The geography of education is a young field of research. This article makes two innovative contributions to knowledge about the evolution of this body of work. First, it presents a three-fold history of the field, delineating distinct phases in its development. Second, it draws out both linkages across, and disparities between, geographies of education in different language traditions. The analysis includes longer established German-language, Francophone and Anglophone oeuvres, as well as more recent Eastern European and international research. In combination, this attention to the temporality and spatiality of geographical debate about education provides a unique introduction to the field.

“…Introducing quasi-market criteria in education seems to expand the influence of locality. This especially counts for those populations inhabiting deprived areas where the chances of mobility are reduced (Boterman, 2017;Danhier & Devleeshouwer, 2017). In other words, neighborhoods with low levels of socioeconomic deprivation will have well performing schools thanks to students' mobility, while disadvantaged neighborhoods will experience an exacerbation in their schools of the negative effects deriving from segregation dynamics, such as low levels of attainment, downward assimilation (Portes & Rumbaut, 1996), namely a socialization to deviant behaviors, and entrapment in vocational tracks.…”

“…Nevertheless, Danhier and Devleeshouwer (2017) notice that the mobility of students is not simply explained by their socioeconomic status or their ethnicity, but depends also on the density of the school offer around the student's house: students living in neighborhoods with few schools and far away from other neighborhoods with a great offer are more likely to move. A city that shows a peculiar pattern in this sense is Brussels: 'as the deprived neighbourhoods are concentrated in the centre of Brussels, the students from these neighbourhoods can access more easily a larger school offer.…”

School segregation' indicates the concentration of a minority into a school that significantly exceeds the presence of the same population living in the surrounding territory. A segregated school is generally synonymous of low level of attainment and social marginalization. This phenomenon can be addressed as an urban issue or an educational problem, studied through spatial measures or qualitative interviews, interpreted as an institutional or a spatial effect. Many disciplines and approaches have in fact addressed the topic. This article, through a critical literature review, identifies the main drivers of segregation in the institutional context, the residential distribution of the population and the households' choice. Taking into account evidence from the literature, especially from Northern Europe and United States, the author then disentangles the three drivers highlighting similarities and differences that can be found in diverse cities. Segregation in schools in fact seems eligible to acquire various shapes and features especially according to urban contexts, educational system and middle classes behaviors. The article will then highlight flaws in the current literature and suggest further research lines in order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.
