The Re-imagining Migration Learning Arc 

Our learning arc for understanding migration responds to the third question in our framework, “How can we best engage with the topic of migration across the curriculum?” and is centered on the belief that the goal of teaching about migration is not a matter of simply remembering information. Instead, it entails having the capacity to reason one’s way through and respond to a situation, a media report, a new refugee crisis, feeling-oriented enough to advance possible explanations, interpret or contextualize perspectives, and compare present developments with past ones. To engage migration in this way educators will need to deepen their own understanding and continuously explore of key questions about migration and ways to treat this complex topic in accessible ways across disciplines and age groups.
