Katrin Huxel

Dr. Katrin Huxel is a researcher at the University of Münster and a member of the Council for Migration (RfM). Her work focuses on anti-racist interventions in education, particularly addressing linguistic discrimination ('linguicism') and advocating for multilingual teaching reforms in Germany. She has contributed to BMBF-funded projects like MIKS 1 and 2, which explore multilingual strategies in primary schools.

Her research emphasizes the transformation of migrant language skills into cultural capital and critiques the monolingual bias in educational systems. She proposes networked multilingual teaching aligned with post-migrant societal realities, integrating translanguaging strategies to validate students' linguistic diversity.

In her 2020 RfM commentary, she analyzes trends in language policy, racial equity in education, and systemic barriers affecting multilingual learners. No awards or student advisement roles are documented.
