International Educational Development Program
New leaders for global educational development

New Publication
A new volume, co-edited by Lesley Bartlett (TC/CU) and Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher (IEDP/PennGSE) examines the role played by schooling in immigrant incorporation or exclusion, using case studies of Thailand, India, Nepal, Hong Kong/PRC, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa, Senegal, Sudan, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Drawing on key concepts in anthropology, the authors offer timely sociocultural analyses of how governments manage increasing diversity and how immigrants strategize to maximize their educational investments. The findings have significant implications for global efforts to expand educational inclusion and equity. See more information here.
