Immigration Policy and Education in Lived Reality: A Framework for Researchers and Educators
Turner, Erica O.; Mangual Figueroa, Ariana
Educational Researcher, v48 n8 p549-557 Nov 2019
The urgency of immigration policy in the lives of immigrant students and families and educators is more evident than ever; however, education theories and educators' practices are not keeping pace with this lived reality. We draw on scholarship that examines the lives and educational experiences of undocumented students and undocumented or mixed-status families; research on classroom, school, and district policy and practice for immigrant students; and critical sociocultural approaches and critical race theories to develop a conceptual framework for understanding the intersection of immigration policy and education in a nuanced way. We highlight conceptual insights--on people, policy, context, outcomes, and power--for making sense of this nexus. We conclude with implications for our work as researchers and educators and how we conceptualize citizenship.
