Education and immigration: the socio-educational challenges for second generations from a transnational perspective
About the speaker
Peggy Levitt
Professor of Sociology at Wellesley College, Massachusetts. Expert in transnational migrations
In the lecture on education and immigration, professor Levitt presents her research with respect to the issue of immigration and transnationality. Her work is based in the USA, studying the Dominican, Brazilian, Irish and different Asian group communities.
The talk offers a panoramic look, based on her fieldwork and the research of North American colleagues, at the debates regarding second-generation immigrants and the changes in perspective seen thanks to a transnational point of view. Through life story-based methodology, we are given a closer look at an immediate reality, based on the lives of the young, the second generation, and their impact on school education practices and policies.
