Course description
The world is witnessing an era of unprecedented human mobility. Half of all im/migrants are women, and almost 40% of global migration occurs between countries in the global South. This course examines migration and education in global contexts. Drawing on the anthropology and sociology of immigration, the course reviews major theories of immigrant incorporation and exclusion processes, examines case studies of im/migrants, refugees, and displaced persons and their adaptation processes in countries in the North and the South, and considers educational practices and policies that develop to address migration in diverse contexts. The course asks how cultural, social, political, and economic factors influence im/migrant incorporation, and how educators can facilitate im/migrant students’ opportunities for learning through changes in policies, pedagogies, and curricula.
