Educational Issues and Possibilities in New Immigrant Gateway States: The Case of North Carolina

Fri, April 4, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Convention Center, Floor: Terrrace Level, Terrace III

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

Unparalleled immigration in the past few decades transformed many older immigrant gateways and created new ones. North Carolina is a new immigrant gateway state, featuring the fastest growing foreign-born population in the country, and a Latino population that more than doubled in size over the course of a decade. This symposium presents current research in North Carolina that reveals the ways in which institutions respond to the social and cultural transformations of communities with limited experience dealing with ethnic, cultural, and or linguistic diversity. The papers also explore the challenges that Latina/o students and families face in their educational trajectories and daily lives.
