Opis

Bringing together studies located at the intersection of migration, media and learning, this book considers how the learning practices of youth in migration are shaped by new media. The contributors show how learning trajectories of individual learners become defined by broadly distributed networks and knowledge systems, and address youth learning more generally in relation to media, globalization, and diversity, as well as the digital learning practices of immigrants and non-immigrants. This book was originally published as a special issue of Learning, Media and Technology.
