“…While the field has undoubtedly been dominated by scholars from the USA, there are also contributions from a range of other countries, including Australia (Inglis, 2009), the UK (Bhopal and Rhamie, 2014;Race and Lander, 2014), Thailand (Arphattananon, 2018) and South Africa (Lemmer et al, 2014). Additionally, there is a growing body of work on migrant learners and their teachers (Adams and Kirova, 2007;Arnot et al, 2016;Hanna, 2020Hanna, , 2022Karsli-Calamak and Kilinc, 2021;Maher, 2020;Pastoor, 2017;Urias, 2012).…”

This article provides a critical qualitative review of 26 English-language journal articles from multiple countries that focus on research and practice among pre-service teachers, and their beliefs about, and experiences of, teaching migrant learners. The findings are organised around two themes. First, the review reveals that student teachers are more likely than not to hold negative beliefs and harbour anxieties about teaching migrant learners. While the cultural diversity of the country in which the student teachers are working does not seem to be a strong determinant of such beliefs, research suggests that such beliefs are more often linked to a lack of knowledge and training. Second, the review identifies a strong emphasis on belief in the value of empathy in learning to teach migrant learners, with the caveat that having a migrant background does not necessarily lead to a more empathetic student teacher. The wider discussion problematises empathy as a goal of training and highlights the challenges inherent in encouraging the development of critical self-reflection among pre-service teachers. The review ultimately questions the extent to which pre-service teacher education equips pre-service teachers to work effectively with migrant learners and proposes increased collaborations between researchers and pre-service teachers as a step towards expanding critical research and practice.

“…(Childs, 2003, p. 7) The meaning of human diversity in social relations has been contemplated in the historical process and continues to occupy an important space in social sciences, philosophy, politics, and education. The demographic changes associated with globalization continue to diversify societies around the globe (Sleeter & Soriano, 2012;Urias, 2012). And although some propose that we live in a post-diversity world, others continue to search for frameworks that can help us understand the changing meaning of diversity in our times (Hansen, 2011).…”

Enemies or Friends? Newcomer Immigrant Students’ Developing Conceptions of Diversity in High School

Drawing insights from a qualitative study with 15 newcomer immigrant students, this article examines the students' developing understandings of the meaning of diversity in school. Although contradictory, the students' collective narratives reveal a keen analysis of a complex social setting, in which race, language, and nationality are seen simultaneously as sources of tension and as opportunities for growth. It is proposed that by identifying and linking similar discourses at multiple levels of schools, we could create webs of resistance to frameworks that tend to categorize and exclude.
