My Research
About
What kinds of learning do international migration and other forms of mobility provoke, and how does this learning influence the life aspirations and life course trajectories of people on the move?
Much of the research in the area of international migration and employment in the field of adult education has focused on training and skill acquisition, with a small portion of research focused on informal learning as it takes place in the context of social movements, such as labour and migrant organizing. In contrast to both of these, my research emphasizes an emergent analysis of what I am beginning to think of as the everyday pedagogies of mobility. Up until now I have engaged with a population that has limited access to formal or non-formal adult education opportunities or informal social movement organizing, namely low-wage migrant workers to Canada.
