ISOTIS researchers Jana Obrovská & Kateřina Janků publish paper "Resilience capacity and supportive factors of compulsory education in ethnic minority families: mixed methods study of Czech Roma mothers" in a special issue dedicated to ISOTIS in Contemporary Social Science.

The authors state "Based on a comparative analysis of quantitative survey data and in-depth biographical interviews, we focus on the mothers’ reflections of macro, meso and microsystem level primary education conditions and experiences. We especially draw upon racially/ethnically framed oppression and its interrelation with modes of communication between education facilities and families, as well as educational aspirations."

Further the authors conclude "Our findings indicate the development of resilience and coping strategies, the overriding feature of which is a mode of family damage control and prevention rather than the pursuit of ambitious prospects when assisting children through the education process. At the same time, when seeking support, Czech Roma mothers preferably turn to informal education and the private sphere, rather than the formal education sphere."
