[Xmca-l] Re: Research on refugees/immigrants/migrants and Legitimate Peripheral Participation?

[Alfredo Jornet Gil]

I cannot help with this, Greg, since I don't know of work specifically connecting the two. But if your student gets to write about that, I'd be very interested in reading her/his work.


A few days ago, I was listening Amy Goodman's interview with a lawyer who visited children detention centres in the US border. I literally cried as I was commuting to work listening to the horrendous inhumanity being described.


(Interview here:) https://www.democracynow.org/shows/2019/6/24


Now, reading your question, I wondered, what is "legitimate participation" for a child in a detention center? What is the center and what the periphery in such a context? And for a Syrian refugee in a shelter in Turkey? Is there anything like a community of practice that belongs to being a refugee or immigrant?


Not that I am sceptical about or questioning the relevance of the approach to the issue. Just that I don't know how, would like to know.


Best,?

Alfredo

Just wondering if anyone out there could point me to research on refugees/immigrants/migrants and Legitimate Peripheral Participation (or otherwise connect the former with Lave and Wenger's communities of practice)?

(this is for a student of mine)

Thanks,
Greg
