Research areas
Bolette Moldenhawer is a senior researcher and research coordinator at the University of Copenhagen. Her research and publications focuses on cultural sociology of pedagogy, e.g. the role of education as regards social inequalities, professional work, young people’s schooling strategies, cultural identity and social positioning – in comparative and international perspectives. Within the research field of migration and integration, the focus is on transnational educational strategies, ethnic minority and majority relations, and mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. Her future research is focusing on political categorisation practices addressing "the immigrant" in relation to historical processes of state transformation. Moreover, her research is exploring the pedagogical work addressing asylum seeking and newly arrived children in public schools in Denmark.
