This book originates from its author’s interest in language policy and migrant integration and from an awareness of the importance of public policies as instruments able to shape social phenomena. It is the result of circa three years of research at the intersection between the policy sciences and the applied linguistics domain, and it has been preceded by the publication by the author herself of several academic articles on migrant language-in-education policies, as well as on related aspects of education, such as teacher training and education policy instruments.
The research design and results that form the contents of this book’s chapters have been discussed in numerous academic fora, including the Center for European Studies of Harvard University, where the author was a visiting scholar in 2019 and had the opportunity to refine the ideas at the core of this book. Both the methods employed in the underlying research and the findings obtained have been the subject of further presentations at conferences, workshops, and hybrid events in which both practitioners (e.g., policymakers and educators) and academics were involved. The debate that stemmed from each of these events—a list of which would be too long to provide here—contributed to shaping this book.
