Center for Multicultural Education 25th Symposium
The Center for Multicultural Education Presents the 25th Symposium in our Symposium Lecture Series:
Learning a New Land: Immigrant Students in American Society
Carola Suarez-Orozco, New York University
Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco, New YorkUniversity
Friday, October 24, 2008, 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, HUB 310
One child in five in America is the child of immigrants, and their numbers increase each year. Very few will return to the country they barely remember. Who are they, and what America do they know?
Based on an extraordinary nterdisciplinary study that followed 400 newly arrived children from the Caribbean, China, Central America, and Mexico for five years, the Suarez-Orozcos provide a compelling account of the lives, dreams, and frustrations of these youngest immigrants. Richly told portraits of high and low achievers are packed with unexpected ironies. When they arrive, most children are full of optimism and a respect for education. But poor neighborhoods and dull -- often dangerous -- schools can corrode hopes. The vast majority learn English--but it is the English of video games and the neighborhood, not that of standardized tests.
Professors Suarez-Orozco and Suarez-Orozco will provide highlights of their research. A book signing will follow the question & answer session.
