| Description | My ethnographical research focuses on interaction rituals in ethnically diverse classroom attended by Roma minority as well as majority children. My study is situated in a Czech border town where de-segregational local policy is implemented to integrate Roma children to mainstream public schools. In my paper I will capture pupils’ and teachers’ interactions from the interaction ritual perspective (see McLaren). I am interested in the ways ethnicity is present in pupils’ behavioural strategies ranging from ritual conformity to ritual resistance. As I argue, teachers’ heightened sensitivity to interaction rituals of their pupils can contribute to promote social justice and diversity in education. |
