Michael Eve

Michael Eve (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) teaches sociology at the University of Eastern Piedmont. He coordinated a research project entitled “Secondgen” (secondgen.rs.unipmn.it) comparing the educational and work trajectories of children of foreign immigrants in Italy now and children of regional immigrants in the past. This throws light on the way “the migration process” in itself, independently of clearly defined ethnic identities and even in the absence of legal barriers to citizenship, may create social inequalities. Social networks are clearly important here, and these continue to be a focus of my research interests.

Access to higher education in Italy has been part of this line of research. He has also worked on young people and their attitudes and aspirations, and on various methodological issues. His prime current interest is in the immigrant second generation and its place in the class structure.
