Am 19. Oktober 2023 fand an der Abteilung für Bildungswissenschaft der WU Wien ein Workshop zum Thema „Disentangle the concept of Habitus through Illusio“ unter der Leitung von Gastprofessorin Carina Carlhed Ydhag statt. Frau Prof. Carlhed Ydhag, die das Department of Education an der Stockholm University leitet, präsentierte wesentliche Forschungserkenntnisse der vom schwedischen Forschungsrat finanzierten Längsschnittstudie „Against all Odds - successful schools in superdiverse educational contexts“.

Die entwickelte Illusio-Typologie dient dabei der Analyse von Bildungsverläufen leistungsstarker Schülerinnen und Schüler diverser Herkunft. Während des Workshops wurden illustrative Interviewpassagen aus qualitativen bildungswissenschaftlichen Studien anhand der Typologie eingeordnet und theoriebasiert reflektiert.
