Migration and diversity are among the most pressing issues facing societies today. ‘Integration’, despite being a contested and politicised concept, remains central to policy and public opinion around migration. Moreover, it is used as a diversity governance approach on national, local and municipal levels. My study aims to develop a nuanced understanding of dynamics of lived diversity that allows observing the complexity and multidimensionality of integration, beyond its unidirectional and top-down simplistic predisposition. Doing so, I challenge conventional approaches to integration that target migrants as a problematised population, and side-line the wider society, denying them any sort of integration agency. Instead, I profoundly shift the core of integration from assimilation to superdiversity and conviviality. In that sense, my approach to integration does not narrow it down to one specific group but rather opens it up to interactions among superdiverse people. To do so, I will conduct a two-sited ethnography in Molenbeek, Brussels and Embajadores, Madrid to study interactions and negotiations of difference among the residents of two of Europe’s most superdiverse neighbourhoods.
