Erasmus+ as a site of transnational class formation?

Funded by the DFG’s Initiation of International Collaboration programme, the project aims to strengthen a research collaboration with Prof. Karolina Barglowski (Université du Luxembourg), Prof. Irma Budginaitė-Mačkinė (Vilnius University), and Dr. Thais França (ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon). In view of ongoing sociological discussions about class formation processes beyond national borders and belongings, the project explores whether and how the European Union’s student mobility programme Erasmus+ functions as a site of transnational class formation. Over the course of 12 months, the team will meet for two workshops in Flensburg and conduct research visits to Lisbon and Luxembourg.
