Transnational migration and adult education: Global issues and debates
June 09, 2011
A pre-conference held in conjunction with the 52nd Adult Education Research
Conference (AERC) and the 30th Canadian Association for the Study of Adult
Education (CASAE) Conference
Keynote speakers: Dr. Roxana Ng, OISE/University of Toronto and Dr. Mary V.
Alfred, Texas A&M University
When migrants arrive in a new society, they bring with them their values,
language and culture, contributing significantly to the diversity of their
host countries. Without a doubt, the resulting demographic, social, and
cultural changes create new opportunities for development as well as new
challenges for adult education. However, we are left to grapple with many
important questions, such as: What is the impact of transnational migration
on adult education? What are the challenges and opportunities for adult
education? How can adult education best facilitate migrants' adaptation in a
new society?
Call for Proposals: If you are conducting research or have completed studies
in this area, we invite you to submit proposals to: Dr. Shibao Guo,
University of Calgary, guos@ucalgary.ca. Deadline: February 15, 2011
