Integration is a highly contested and politicised concept. It carries different, and often, contradictory meanings. Inmy research, I challenge conventional approaches to integration which are based on integrating a part to a whole,migrants to a society, or them to us. I rethink integration, through consciously recognising academic criticisms andlearning from attempts to explore alternative concepts. I aim to develop an alternative approach to studyingintegration as interactions taking place in the everyday life within an urban space among superdiverse population.Hence, I do not frame integration as a positive end goal migrants strive to acquire. Instead, I am interested instudying integration as a dynamic, continuously shaped in people's everyday lives, materialised in their interactionsand practices and configured within space. From this, I derive my core research question:How does integration materialise in interactions and practices of everyday life of residents within theirneighbourhood in a superdiverse context?To tackle this question, I have developed a methodology that is sensitive to superdiversity and neighbourhoodcontexts and capable of capturing everyday practices and framing the residents as agents of integration. Mymethodology explores three dimensions of integration, the narratives of the residents, their practices and thespaces in which these are situated. I will conduct fieldwork in two diverse inner-city neighbourhoods in Europeancapital cities, Embajadores in Madrid and Molenbeek in Brussels. This will involve living in the two neighbourhoodsfor the entire period of the field research, four months each. During this period, in each of the two neighbourhoods,I will conduct 10 go-alongs with four core informants to spaces they go to as part of their everyday life, participatoryobservations of four space selected from spaces visited during the go-alongs and ten brief chats with other usersof these spaces.

一体化是一个备受争议和政治化的概念。它具有不同的、常常是矛盾的含义。在我的研究中，我挑战了传统的融合方法，这些方法基于将部分与整体、移民与社会、或他们与我们的融合。我通过有意识地认识学术批评并从探索替代概念的尝试中学习来重新思考整合。我的目标是开发一种替代方法来研究融合​​，将其视为超级多样化人口在城市空间内日常生活中发生的互动。因此，我并不将融合视为移民努力实现的积极最终目标。相反，我感兴趣的是研究整合作为一种动态的、在人们的日常生活中不断塑造、在他们的互动和实践中具体化并在空间中配置的东西。由此，我得出了我的核心研究问题：在超级多样化的背景下，融合如何在社区居民日常生活的互动和实践中实现？为了解决这个问题，我开发了一种对超级多样性和社区背景敏感的方法论，并且能够捕捉日常实践并将居民视为融合的推动者。我的方法论探索了整合的三个维度：居民的叙述、他们的实践以及它们所处的空间。我将在欧洲首都的两个不同的内城区（马德里的大使区和布鲁塞尔的莫伦贝克）进行实地考察。这将涉及在整个实地研究期间居住在两个社区，每个社区四个月。在此期间，在这两个社区中，我将与四位核心受访者一起对他们日常生活中去过的空间进行十次随行，从随行期间访问的空间中选择四个空间进行参与式观察，并进行十次简短的观察。与这些空间的其他用户聊天。
