Do you feel Catalan as well? Cultural self-identification(s) and personal social networks of immigrants and their second-generation - AGAUR -ARAFI- Generalitat de Catalunya
Project financed by Agència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR) of the Government of Catalonia, under ARAFI 2011.
The study is framed in a psychological perspective (social and transcultural psychology). It proposes a new vision of the acculturation processes focused on (1) the multidimensionality, diversity, and dynamics of cultural identities, (2) the importance of personal networks and (3) the cognitive and social capital of people. Moreover, the research aims at providing data that would contribute to the design and implementation of intercultural policies and practices.
The project is directed by ICREA Professor Veronica Benet-Martínez and coordinated by the PhD students Eva Maciocco and Lydia Repke, all three members of the Interdisciplinary Research Group in Immigration (GRITIM-UPF) at the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona (UPF). Please contact Eva Maciocco (eva.maciocco@upf.edu) for more information.
