Teaching at the Intersections of Immigration & Education

CUNY IIE

This free webinar will introduce a new book  by Rachel Duff and Ariana Mangual Figueroa aimed at supporting higher education faculty who seek to integrate themes of immigration into  education courses. Participants will hear from CUNY-IIE Faculty Fellows who have redesigned their syllabi with immigration and education in mind.

Although one in three K-12 students in New York State is of immigrant origin, immigration is not a required topic for educator certification in the state. This guide provides faculty across educational content areas with materials to develop and enhance their coursework for pre-service and in-service educators, ensuring they are better prepared to support immigrant-origin students.

Panelists will include: Fumio Someki, College of Staten Island, CUNY; Imani Irving Perez, Hunter College, CUNY; René Antrop-González, SUNY New Paltz; Robert Jackson, NY State Senator,  District 31; William Murphy, Deputy Commissioner of Higher Education, NYS Education Department. The books authors will moderate.
