Aina Tarabini is associate professor in the Department of Sociology of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, deputy director of and researcher at the research centre GEPS – Globalisation, Education and Social Policy (https://geps-uab.cat/) and member of the Interdisciplinary Group on Education Policies (IGEP-GIPE). Her research is concerned with the (re)production of social inequalities in the daily life of education systems, schools and students, being particularly interested in the analysis of teaching and learning, the modes of pedagogic provision and the students’ identities, experiences and trajectories through the education system. Overall, her research connects the subjective, institutional and systemic dimensions of inequality, through a qualitative-driven approach. In the last years, she has studied the global phenomena of Early School Leaving, which affects the most underprivileged students in the world. She has also been concerned with the study of upper-secondary educational transitions, which have been identified as critical in the reproduction of social inequalities. In parallel, she has been PI of research contracts focused on the processes of educational failure and success at local level, as well as on the study of alternative learning arenas. Some of her recent books include: Tarabini, A. (2022). Educational Transitions and Social Justice: Understanding Upper Secondary School Choices in Urban Contexts (Policy Press); Tarabini, A. (2019) The Conditions for School Success: Examining Educational Exclusion and Dropping Out (Palgrave); Tarabini, A. & Ingram. N. (2018). Educational Choices, Transitions and Aspirations in Europe (Routledge).
