Public Scholarship on Global Migration, Structural Inclusion, and Democratic Civic Education Across Nations

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Across the globe, students from ethnic, racial, linguistic, and religious minority groups often have weak connections with their nation-states, in part because they feel structurally excluded within their schools, as well as the larger community. This session brings civic and multicultural researchers together with researchers to discuss the design and implementation of promising civic education practices in different nations that can help students develop a sense of structural inclusion. Each case study of innovative civic education programs will profile an effective teacher working with minority groups to develop a sense of structural inclusion within the nation-state and to enhance their national identities.
