Migration Borders and Education

<p>This book brings together high-quality international research which examines how migration and borders are experienced in education. It presents new conceptualisations of education as a ‘border regime’ demonstrating the need for closer attention to ‘border thinking’ and diasporic and transnational analyses in education.</p><p></p><p>We live in a time in which borders – material and political – are being reasserted with profound social consequences. Both the containment and global movement of people dominate political concerns and inevitably impact educational systems and practices. Providing a global outlook the chapters in this book present in-depth sociological analyses of the ways in which borders are constituted and reconstituted through educational practice from a diverse range of national contexts. Key issues taken up by authors include: immigration status and educational inequalities; educational inclusion and internal migration; ‘curricula nationalism’ and global citizenship; education and labour; the educational experiences of refugees and the politics of refugee education; student migration and adult education; and nationalism colonialism and racialization.</p><p></p><p>This book was originally published as a special issue of <em>International Studies in Sociology of Education</em>.</p>
