PK-12 Immigration Literature Conference:
Storytelling for Visibility, Understanding and Transformation
This one-day conference is designed to inspire and empower educators to integrate immigration-focused literature into their classrooms by fostering a deeper understanding of the migration experience. Through a keynote presentation, interactive breakout sessions, and a panel with children and young adult literature authors, participants will experience the power of storytelling as a means to learn about oneself and one’s neighbors, and to take action to create a stronger and more interconnected society.
Educators will leave with a forthcoming CUNY-IIE Guide for PK-12 Immigration Literature. The conference and the guide support educators working to include culturally responsive literature in their curricula that can teach their students to learn, act, and advocate in a way that centers our shared humanity.
