Economic globalization, modern transportation, and advanced communication technologies have greatly enhanced the mobility of people across national boundaries. The resulting demographic, social, and cultural changes create new opportunities for development as well as new challenges for lifelong learning. Transnational Migration and Lifelong Learning examines the changing nature of lifelong learning in the current age of transnational migration. The book brings together international scholars from a range of countries in a dialogue about the relationship between work, learning, mobility, knowledge, and citizenship in the context of globalization and migration. It covers a wide range of topics, including: global perspectives and analyses of migration; the impact of migration on lifelong learning; processes of exclusion and inclusion in lifelong learning; the tension between mobility, knowledge, and recognition; and transnationalism, learning communities, and citizenship. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Lifelong Education.
The increasing ease of global mobility presents both opportunities and challenges for continuous education. This book investigates how transnational migration reshapes the landscape of lifelong learning in an era of globalization. It draws on contributions from international scholars to explore the intricate connections between work, learning, mobility, knowledge acquisition, and the concept of citizenship. The authors examine the global dynamics of migration and its profound effects on educational access and processes, highlighting the inherent tensions between movement, the validation of knowledge, and the construction of identity in a transnational context.
Originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Lifelong Education, this collection offers a scholarly examination of a critical contemporary issue. The compilation of international perspectives suggests a comprehensive approach to understanding the multifaceted relationship between migration and education. The focus on global dynamics, inclusion/exclusion, and the recognition of knowledge points to a text aimed at academics and policymakers interested in the evolving nature of learning in a mobile world.
