Abstract (analytical)
The following article details a research study that uses an ethnographic method based on in-depth interviews and participant observation to examine the educational trajectories of young Peruvians who live in two peripheral neighborhoods of the city of Córdoba, Argentina. In addition to describing and analyzing their different experiences of education in the city, the study uses an intersectional perspective to identify how family migratory projects and educational expectations of parents are articulated and are in conflict with the educational projects defined by their children. The results show that despite the expectations of families in terms of basic and university education in Argentina, young people face specific difficulties in continuing with their educational trajectories. To address this, parents and children use a range of strategies to sustain these trajectories.
Keywords: Youth, migration, education, urban space.
