Article – Globalization, Immigration, and Education: The Research Agenda, Marcelo Suárez-Orozco

In this article, Marcelo Suárez-Orozco sets forth a new paradigm for understanding immigration and education in the United States, situating it within the broader context of globalization. Suárez-Orozco argues that globalization is the reason that immigrant children are entering U.S. schools in unprecedented numbers. He argues that a critical but understudied area of recent scholarship on globalization is the experiences of children.
