Migration, Borders and Education

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. 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. This book was originally published as a special issue of International Studies in Sociology of Education.
