SCHOOLS – the first and ultimate hope for integration – are generally ill-equipped to serve immigrant teenagers. The traditional paradigm relegates them to the sidelines. Yet, it is in school that the children of immigration determine where they belong in the reality and imagination of their new culture. I Learn America is a documentary that follows five students as they broach the issues of mastering English, family dynamics, gender identity, adapting to life in the United States, and more.
We will be showing this film on the Corvallis campus as part of OSU’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration 2016:

Winston Cornwall is on the cover of the latest Corvallis Advocate. Read the story about his Civil Rights and Multicultural Issues in Education class. You’ll see a glimpse of why we are so fortunate to have him on our College of Education faculty.
After a summer hiatus, we’re now back to meeting regularly, including our first meeting of the fall that took place yesterday. Our next meeting will be on October 28 at 11-12 in Furman 100. Newcomers are always welcome.
We’ll start posting here again. We’d love to have more original content. If you are interested in writing for the blog, please contact Stacey Lee at stacey.lee@oregonstate.edu. Perhaps someone would like to write about Tim Wise’s lecture at OSU yesterday? Or a book review? Or an opinion piece about news items of interest to SEJ in Education?
