The school is a crucial socialisation institution that forms young people’s perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs (Gidengil et al., 2016). Moreover, it is the main socialisation space that provides the youth with broader social relationships compared to the intimate social context of the family (Vincent et al., 2018). This Fondecyt project will ethnographically analyse the school’s role in socialising attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality among secondary students in classrooms with a diversified socioeconomic composition. Studying these attitudes is crucial since they might symbolically legitimise or challenge the existing social order (Sandel, 2021) and contribute to the reproduction or transformation of socioeconomic inequalities (Alesina et al., 2012). Since evidence on this issue is key for democratic governments in socioeconomically unequal societies to inform policies for reducing inequality and increasing social cohesion, the project focuses on Chile, a country with extreme levels of socioeconomic inequality (WID, 2022). By identifying opportunities and challenges for schools to promote egalitarian attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality among their socioeconomically diverse students, the project will provide decisive evidence for education policy to improve their support to school communities. The general objective of this project is to analyse how the schools contribute to shaping attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality among secondary students in classrooms that have diversified their socioeconomic composition. The specific objectives are as follows: 1. To characterise the socioeconomic heterogeneity within schools with secondary education in Chile and identify those that have diversified the socioeconomic composition of their students in the last decade. 2. To determine the schools’ pedagogical, organisational and community responses to the increase in their socioeconomic diversity and examine how these responses promote particular attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality. 3. To describe the students' inter-class relationships and identify how these relate to particular attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality, including awareness of inequality, perceptions of the fairness of social inequalities, meritocratic beliefs, and egalitarian preferences. The study will use a sequential mixed methods design, with a first quantitative phase aimed at answering Specific Objective 1 and informing the selection of the sample of schools for the second - ethnographic - phase, which is the predominant one and seeks to answer Specific Objectives 2 and 3: a) Quantitative phase: A Socioeconomic Diversity Index (SDI) will be created using data from the Quality of Education Agency through its SIMCE questionnaire to parents of secondary students for 2014-2024, which asks about the families’ socioeconomic information. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe SDI and its temporal variation by school. b) Ethnographic phase: Ethnographic fieldwork will be deployed in three schools with increased socioeconomic diversity, as measured in the SDI. Fieldwork in each school will last approximately two months, and the following methods will be used: - Interviews with staff members: 10 in each school (30 total), including the Principal, two Deputy Principals, three professionals from a psychosocial support team and four teachers. - Friendship maps and interviews with students: Maps of the students’ social relationships will be built with secondary students, seeking to include the whole class in each school (approximately 100 students in total). Maps will be followed by interviews. - Observations: They will be conducted in classrooms, playgrounds, and school events for approximately 100 hours in each school (approximately 300 hours of observation in total). The expected results include a) a map of all Chilean schools according to their current socioeconomic diversity and its temporal variation; b) in-depth evidence of inter-class relationships between secondary students and how these affect their attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality; and c) a systematisation of the schools’ responses to the students’ socioeconomic heterogeneity, their links to the development of attitudes towards socioeconomic inequality, and their facilitating and hindering elements. These findings will be useful for other schools that are diversifying their student body, wish to do so, or are interested in promoting egalitarian attitudes among their students. Ultimately, the project will provide critical evidence for public policy to promote schools that foster the development of egalitarian attitudes and potentially contribute to reducing social inequalities.

The nation-state is an organization defined by two principles: its interests (e.g., political, economic, cultural) and its security. Therefore, states constantly seek survival, in which security plays a prominent role, surpassing all other issues (Waltz, 1979). The extent to which the movement of people across international borders has become a security issue is evident in how the migration-security nexus is prevalent in the current public and media debate around the globe, including Chile. This proposal stands on the premise that in a democratic society, mainstream media press is a highly significant actor in influencing levels of public concern and shaping people's attitudes towards social developments and phenomena, including migration and its securitization (Scherman et al., 2022; Ekman & Krzyzanowski, 2021). The representation of immigrants in mainstream media press creates opportunities for immigrants to either become part of society or be excluded from the public sphere. The main objective of this proposal is to analyze the media framing of the securitization of the "migration crisis" in the Chilean mainstream media press during 2014-2026. Further on, this main objective is broken down into three specific objectives (SO), namely: SO1: To identify the media news frames of the securitization of the "migration crisis" in Chilean mainstream press during 2014-2026. SO2: To analyze the consolidation of media news frames of the securitization of the "migration crisis" in Chilean mainstream press during 2014-2026. SO3: To compare the media news frames of the securitization of the "migration crisis" between the Northern, the Southern, and the Metropolitan Regions' mainstream press during 2014-2026. The empirical part includes the analysis of all informative pieces concerning the issues of security and immigration collected from the national editions of seven leading Chilean newspapers published in the Northern, Metropolitan, and Southern regions throughout a decade timespan (2014-2026). Such an elaborate dataset will reveal systematic longitudinal analysis across time, regions, and media outlets, providing a profound understanding of Chile's securitization of the "migration crisis." The proposed methodological paths for each SO are: SO1 will employ news framing analysis (de Vreese, 2005; Muñiz, 2011) to identify the media coverage frames of the securitization of the "migration crisis," applying a manual qualitative content analysis using Atlas. Ti 23 software for better coding manageability (Kovar, 2023; Vázquez-Herrero et al., 2022; Sarah-Liu, 2021). We will follow an inductive approach in which frames emerge from the collected corpus in situ (Semetko & Valkenburg, 2000) since it broadens the possibility of discovering a more amplified list of frames, thus contributing to a deeper analysis of the issue. SO2 will use a frequency analysis in Atlas.ti 23 and in Microsoft Excel (v2023) to identify and examine the most prominent media frames over the selected period. SO3 will follow a comparative analysis (Collier, 1993) to define similarities and/or differences between a) different media conglomerates (El Mercurio S.A.P and COPESA S.A) and independent outlets (Publimetro) and b) the Northern, the Metropolitan, and the Southern regions over the selected period. In addition, our longitudinal data (2014-2026) allows us to study possible changes in media framing covering the migration-security nexus over a decade, providing a comprehensive study on the issue currently under development across the national mainstream press. The main expected result is the generation of empirical evidence that advances understanding of the dominant frames of the securitization of the "migration crisis" in Chile. Given that most of the previous and current research on media securitization of migration has been EU or US-centered, our project calls for de-Westernizing this issue by contributing to a Latin American perspective to expand the geographical reach of research beyond European and US borders. As such, it offers new insights into the complexities of the securitization of the "migration crisis" in Chilean media and will contribute to the area of ​​Communication and Social Studies and anyone interested in migration and security issues. Likewise, since the securitization of migration reinforces a politics of fear and racism (Wodak, 2015), our findings may also concern the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security, which is responsible for public policies and laws regarding immigration. The association of migration with security can be reflected in laws and policies that the country may adopt toward migrants through limiting access to certain nationalities, changes in visa procedures, higher security controls, and, most importantly, deterioration of the rights of migrants (Planas Gifra, 2024). Finally, as this project will empirically identify migration-security patterns in the mainstream press and track their evolution, identifying potential shifts over a decade's time span, it will help us raise public and service awareness in Chile by generating policy papers, infographics, and seminars for the lay public and opinion columns in local and national media, among others.
