Imagining Sites of Possibility in Immigrant and Refugee Education
Sun, April 15, 8:15 to 10:15am, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Fourth Floor, Hudson SuiteSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
With the anticipated release of a special issue of Theory Into Practice in May 2018, we have assembled a number of the contributing authors who have imagined, investigated, and/or created sites of possibility in immigrant and refugee education. From family and community engagement to school leadership to pedagogy, curricula, and assessment, the symposium presenters outline the ways in which public schools have embraced the newest arrivals to the body politic, in the face of pervasive xenophobic and nationalist discourse.
