    Presentation | Sattin-Bajaj, UC Barbara | “Preparing Teachers to Educate Immigrant-origin Students: An Examination of Teacher Credentialing Standards, Coursework, and Opportunities for Expanded Learning”

    /in , /by

    For children of immigrant backgrounds, teachers can play a critical role in supporting school
    engagement, facilitating access to educational opportunities, and promoting high aspirations and
    academic success. Yet, few teacher preparation programs focus explicitly on preparing school
    personnel to understand and effectively meet the needs of immigrant-origin students and their
    families.

    In this presentation, Professor Sattin-Bajaj from University of California, Santa Barbara will share emerging results from a multi-method study examining how teachers in California are prepared to educate children in immigrant families that includes analysis of state credentialing standards and course syllabi, interviews with course instructors, and surveys and interviews with teacher candidates from three case study teacher preparation programs.

      Presentation | Sita Patel | “Improving mental health among newcomer youth through school-based community partnerships”

      /in /by

      This presentation by Professor Sita Patel at the Palo Alto University and Global Mental Health Fellow for WHO, will share several field examples to illustrate common challenges and best practices for conducting school-based research that aims to better understand and improve newcomer youth mental health. Schools provide an accessible, common ground for the delivery of mental health services for newly arrived immigrant children and adolescents. Given competing demands and limited resources in many schools, it is vital to consider ways to optimize community engagement, youth outcomes, and program longevity.

                  Holding Fast: Resilience and Civic Engagement Among Latino Immigrants

                  /in /by

                  Michael Jones-Correa, University of Pennsylvania
                  Abstract: Have the policies and rhetoric of Trump’s candidacy and administration undermined immigrants’ trajectories of political inclusion? Drawing from original surveys of Latino immigrants spanning the period Trump won the Republican nomination, to when he was elected to the presidency and took office, Holding Fast charts patterns of civic resilience and withdrawal among these foreign-born residents, both citizens and non-citizens. However, despite the rhetoric and policy threat of Trump’s candidacy and presidency, this research finds Latino immigrants demonstrate far more civic resilience than withdrawal.

                  Speaker bio: Michael Jones-Correa is President’s Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Director, Center for the Study of Ethnicity, Race and Immigration (CSERI). He is author of Holding Fast: Resilience and Civic Engagement Among Latino Immigrants (Russell Sage Foundation). His research centers on the topics of immigrant political incorporation and ethnic and racial relations in the United States, often writing about political behavior in the context of institutional structures.

                      Here, There, and Elsewhere: The Making of Immigrant Identities in a Globalized World, with Tahseen Shams

                      /in /by

                      Spearker: Tahseen Shams

                      Speakerbio: Tahseen Shams is Assistant Professor of Sociology and author of Here, There, and Elsewhere: The Making of Immigrant Identities in a Globalized World (Stanford University Press). Her research explores how transnational, global forms of inequality intersect with race and ethnicity to affect immigrant groups, particularly those coming from Muslim-majority countries to the United States and Canada.

                      Abstract: Challenging the commonly held perception that immigrants’ lives are shaped exclusively by their sending and receiving countries, Here, There, and Elsewhere breaks new ground by showing how immigrants are vectors of globalization who both produce and experience the interconnectedness of societies—not only the societies of origin and destination, but also, the societies in places beyond. Tahseen Shams posits a new concept for thinking about these places that are neither the immigrants’ homeland nor hostland—the “elsewhere.” Drawing on rich ethnographic data, interviews, and analysis of the social media activities of South Asian Muslim Americans, Shams uncovers how different dimensions of the immigrants’ ethnic and religious identities connect them to different elsewheres in places as far-ranging as the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Yet not all places in the world are elsewheres. How a faraway foreign land becomes salient to the immigrant’s sense of self depends on an interplay of global hierarchies, homeland politics, and hostland dynamics. Referencing today’s 24-hour news cycle and the ways that social media connects diverse places and peoples at the touch of a screen, Shams traces how the homeland, hostland, and elsewhere combine to affect the ways in which immigrants and their descendants understand themselves and are understood by others.
