Marginalized in Mexico: Examining the Educational Experiences of Deported, Dual U.S.-Mexican Citizen, and Indigenous Students

Mon, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Four, Liberty Salon J

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The diversity of students in Mexico is not reflected in the nation’s educational policies and practices. The country is home to numerous indigenous communities who have a history of being political, economical and educational marginalization. Mexico also been receiving families and individuals who have been deported or made a difficult decision to return to their place of birth for a variety of factors, often bringing with the them U.S.-born children. This session seeks to understand the realities of these marginalized groups across the K-16 trajectory and into adulthood. It will also consider bi-national policies to not only acknowledge the diversity of these students, but also position them as transnational resources between the U.S. and Mexico.
