Bio
Géraldine André is Professor of sociology of education and youth at UCLouvain. She has primarily worked at the intersection of the sociology of education and youth, examining socialization of children and young people in various geographical regions. Her doctoral thesis, published in 2012 examined the process of school orientation towards dominated tracks in secondary education in French-speaking Belgium. Socialisation processes were at the heart of her postdoctoral projects on child and youth labor in various regions of sub-Saharan Africa (DRC, Burkina Faso and Ghana) where she carried out a “global and extended ethnography”. Through this double experience on Western and non-Western fieldworks, she developed an approach to socialization rooted in analytical frameworks considering both the reproduction of structural inequalities and young people's capacity for action a perspective. Géraldine André has developed an interest in political socialisation and participation and school-to-work transitions. These research interests are anchored in analytical frameworks organized around an interpretation of society in terms of social relations and inequalities relating to social class, gender, and ethno-racial categorizations.
