The Cultural Psychology of Immigration
Immigration is “of and for” the Family

Immigration Studies @ NYU
Growing Up In the ShadowsNearly 30% of young adults in the US are either
immigrants or children of immigrants (Rumbaut & Komaie, 2010)
Over 1.1 million immigrant youth are ‘Dreamers’ (unauthorized immigrants)
Over 4 million 2nd generation children and youth live in mixed documentation families (with parents or siblings who are undocumented)
Education Today Each country is unhappy in its own way
Three Protracted Problems
Boredom has become the elephant in the (class) room
Inequality, ‘concentrated disadvantage,’ (W. Wilson) & ‘Triple Segregation’ (G. Orfield). The widely acknowledged general failure to fully integrate large numbers of children of color in the US and other high income countries; the US School to Prison Pipeline
The Global Achievement Gap
Education for Globalization: Three Principles
Education for “doing” and “living” well – the flourishing ideal of Eudaemonia
Education for civic engagement, belonging, and cultural citizenship
Education for the transition to the ever more globally integrated labor market
Cultural Sensibilities
Children growing up today are more likely than in any previous generation to face a life of working and networking, loving and living with others from different national, linguistic, religious, and racial backgrounds. In the U.S. today minorities make up 46.5 percent of the under 18 population, 10 states are now minority majority states in their under 18 population (HI, NM, CA, TX, AZ, FL, GA, MD, MS, NV AND D,C) -- working across cultural and linguistic boundaries will hence forth have a huge premium
ILearn
Managing Complexity in the 21 st Century will require an education for life-long cognitive, behavioral, and relational engagement
The skills needed for identifying, analyzing and
mobilizing to solve problems from multiple perspectives will require individuals who are
Intellectually curious and cognitively flexible, tolerant of ambiguity, able to synthesize knowledge within and across disciplines, culturally and linguistically sophisticated, and able to work collaboratively in groups made up of diverse individuals
