Leadership in the “New Demography”: Immigration Theory and Politics.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. As schools and communities experience significant demographic shifts, it is critically important for school and community-based leaders to interrogate the history, theories, politics and debates of immigration, particularly in relation to U.S. schooling and education. Doing so requires an examination of competing theories of race, immigration and identity, as well as notions of transnationalism, integration and citizenship. This course considers these issues from a culturally responsive lens with a keen focus on schools and communities.
