“…Such findings support the idea that belonging to a multicultural rather than mono-cultural background has a positive (or at worst neutral) effect on educational performances achievement of students. This seems to be in line with the variant approach theory (see, among others, Thornton and Wason, 1995, Rockquemore & Brunsma, 2002a, 2002bVan Ours e Veenman, 2008), which has been developed at the empirical level in the UK and US (see e.g. Kao, 1999;Shih et al 2007;Muttarak, 2007), but also in continental Europe (see, for instance, Becker, 2011).…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Brigid Laffan since September 2013, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society.The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union. Migration Policy Centre (MPC)The Migration Policy Centre (MPC) at the European University Institute, Florence, conducts advanced research on global migration to serve migration governance needs at European level, from developing, implementing and monitoring migration-related policies to assessing their impact on the wider economy and society.The MPC carries out field as well as archival research, both of which are scientifically robust and policy-relevant, not only at European level, but also globally, targeting policy-makers as well as politicians. This research provides tools for addressing migration challenges, by: 1) producing policyoriented research on aspects of migration, asylum and mobility in Europe and in countries located along migration routes to Europe, that are regarded as priorities; 2) bridging research with action by providing policy-makers and other stakeholders with results required by evidence-based policymaking, as well as necessary methodologies that address migration governance needs; 3) pooling scholars, experts, policy makers, and influential thinkers in order to identify problems, research their causes and consequences, and devise policy solutions. Our research includes a core programme and several projects, most of them co-financed by the European Union.The MPC working paper series, published since April 2013, aims at disseminating high-quality research pertaining to migration and related issues. All EUI members, as well as other external scholars and practitioners, are welcome to submit their work to the series.

AbstractIn EU societies, the role that immigrants' children play in the educational system is fiercely debated. There exists a consensus that immigrants' children show, on average, lower educational performances than children of natives in all EU states, regardless of grade level, type of school, age, etc. This awareness has led to the perception that the concentration of immigrants' children negatively affects overall school educational performances. This no...

“…My research also confirms the findings of studies that show how black West Indians, among them Jamaicans, actively seek to disassociate themselves from African Americans-a key type of boundary-work. Additionally, in pointing to phenotype and socio-cultural interaction as the most salient factors affecting racial identifications for my participants, the study also confirms findings by other scholars (Clinton 2006, Rockquemore and Brunsma 2002, Roth 2005. Moreover, they provide additional support for the argument that since all humans are naturally inclined to categorize, everyone engages in boundary-work (Hirschfeld 2005, Massey 2007).…”

“…Responses reflect subjective understanding of belonging to one or more racial/ethnic groups and is influenced by family background, community, cultural heritage, socialization, experience (eg, discrimination), values, and physical features. 20 Many Americans make strategic choices regarding their racial/ethnic self-identification, 21,22 which can vary across times and contexts. [22][23][24] The selfidentification measure thus captures beliefs about internal, flexible properties of the self at a given time.…”

Objective: Perceived discrimination is an important risk factor for minority health. Drawing from the scholarship on multidimensionality of race, this study examines the relationships between perceived discrimination in health care and two dimensions of racial identity: self-identified race/ethnicity and perceived attributed race/ ethnicity (respondents’ perceptions of how they are racially classified by others).Methods: We used Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data collected in 2004- 2013 and we specifically examined the data on perceived racial discrimination in health care during the past 12 months, perceived attributed race/ethnicity, and self-identified race/ethnicity.Results: In models adjusting for sociodemographic and other factors, both dimensions of racial/ethnic identity contributed independently to perceived discrimination in health care. After controlling for self-identified race/ethnicity, respondents who reported being classified as Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American had higher likelihood of perceived discrimination than respondents who reported being classified as White. Similarly, after taking perceived attributed race/ethnicity into account, self-identified Blacks, Native Americans, and multiracial respondents were more likely to report perceived discrimination than counterparts who self-identified as White. The model using only perceived attributed race/ ethnicity to predict perceived discrimination showed a superior fit with the data than the model using only self-identified race/ ethnicity.Conclusion: Perceived attributed race/ ethnicity captures an aspect of racial/ethnic identity that is correlated, but not interchangeable, with self-identified race/ethnicity and contributes uniquely to perceived discrimination in health care. Applying the concept of multidimensionality of race/ ethnicity to health disparities research may reveal understudied mechanisms linking race/ethnicity to health risks.Ethn Dis. 2016;26(4):501-512; doi:10.18865/ ed.26.4.501
