Democratic citizenship education for newly arrived migrant students in adult education

PhD project at the Department of Teacher Education

Democratic citizenship education for newly arrived migrant students in adult education

In this project I investigate how newly arrived migrant students experience democratic citizenship education in adult education. Through qualitative in-depth interviews, I explore the students’ understanding of democracy and citizenship in the intersection between their prior experiences, diverse classrooms and social studies in a Norwegian context. The project contributes to expanding the knowledge base for democratic citizenship education that builds on a resource perspective on diversity.
