His
teaching work is mainly carried out at the Faculty of Education and
Psychology. His activity focuses on two areas: the anthropology of
education and the Western Sahara. A noteworthy contribution to the
first area is his book Antropologia de l'educació. L'etnografia i l'estudi de les relacions interètniques en l'àmbit de l'educació (2002),
a university manual that presents the fundamental interests, theories
and debates of the anthropology of education. Subsequently, he has
focused his interests on the analysis of interethnic relations in the
field of education, specifically on the analysis of identity discourses
and the forms of violence and racism that occur between the students of
a Catalan secondary school. This research line has led to a doctoral
thesis, along with some of his most interesting publications. More
recently, he has worked on an analysis of the academic careers of
students who are members of immigrant families, commissioned by the
Jaume Bofill Foundation. His specialisation in the analysis of
educational issues related to the presence of immigrant pupils in our
schools led to his appointment as Director of the 4th Conference on
Immigration in Spain (2004). As regards the Western Sahara, since 1994
he has worked with a team of archaeologists and anthropologists from
the UdG in the research and cooperation project entitled Identification, Documentation and Evaluation of the Archaeological Heritage of the Western Sahara.
As a result of this work, the National Museum of the Saharan People has
been set up, located in the Saharan refugee camps of Tinduf (Algeria)
and a book has been published: Sàhara Occidental. Passat i present d'un poble (1999), along with several articles.
