OSLO - What is mutual acculturation? What is the relationship between mutual acculturation and integration? And how do adolescents in varying countries relate to mutual acculturation?

In this English episode of grenseløs, we are joined by Petra Sidler, a visiting doctoral student in Migration Studies from the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland.

Petra describes her doctoral thesis where she assesses

adolescents’ attitudes toward mutual acculturation in the school context. With her, we discuss what mutual acculturation is, why it's important to know about it, and how it affects us both institutionally and on individual levels.

Having a background in Social Sciences and Practical Philosophy, she takes an interdisciplinary approach to this new and fascinating topic.
