Global migration: biopolitics, interruptions, and trends in theory and method

• In Event: Evidence-based decision making in education

Group Submission Type: Refereed Round-Table Session

Proposal

Global migration is at an all-time high and CIES is responding, having recently approved a new Global Migration SIG. This roundtable inaugurates the SIG and initiates conversation about trends in methods and theory in the study of migration flows, spaces and intersections. We will raise timely questions and provide a nourishing space for innovative exploration of migration phenomena. Presenters will discuss their research/thinking about equity-oriented evaluation with migrant youth, research with undocumented, detained migrant youth and those in schools that intervene upon their “at risk” status, and interdisciplinary approaches to migrant experience that combine sociology, political science, geography and history.
