The Making of Teachers in the Age of Migration - Critical Perspectives on Politics of Education for Refugees,

The Making of Teachers in the Age of Migration reveals the failure of Western nations to utilize the skills of educators who are refugees and migrants and considers the experiences of those educators as they move into the teacher workforces in their new countries. Most Western countries are experiencing a shortage in teaching personnel. Against this backdrop, a possible solution seems to be quite obvious: teachers with (forced) migration backgrounds could be employed in the school systems of their destination countries, since they didn''t leave their profession nor passion for teaching behind. Written by leading scholars based in Austria, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, South Africa, Turkey and the USA, the first part of the book covers theoretical issues including decolonization, curriculum reform, inclusivity and citizenship. The second part of the book includes case studies with examples of success and failures from Austria, Brazil, Germany and Zimbabwe.>
