距离第二学期的课结束已经过去一个月了，过去一个月时间主要用来写两门课各5000字英文论文，还没有来得及完成微信号待完成的一篇关于第二学期的总结，也没有来得及再多准备学年论文的事情，第三学期的课明天就开始了。其实很多硕士同学一学年的课基本上完了，第三学期开始基本在准备写学年论文和写上学期的作业。但因为我去年入学晚了几个星期，导师建议按照1-2-1（第一学期一门课，第二学期两门课，第三学期一门课）的节奏去学习，因此第三学期我还有一门课叫做移民教育与发展。一门和我们息息相关的课。无论是我个人的经历，从乡村到城市，从城市到乡村，再从他乡到异国。还是在公益教育上关注的留守儿童，流动儿童，农民工，打工子弟学生，以及城中村，留守儿童0-3早期教育······这些群体都是在“移民”浪潮下出现的专有名词，语言或多或少存在偏见，但具体到每个活生生的个体，她们他们也许是建筑工人，保安，环卫工人，保姆，餐厅服务员，餐厅老板，小卖店主人，外卖员，快递员，摆摊员······ta们的教育和发展是否被看见被支持过呢?去年，因为求学，一家三口勇闯伦敦，带着不到一岁的婴儿，还有语言和找工作存在障碍的另一半，因为身份的转变和生命阶段的不同，有着非常特殊的留学体验，感受到移动带来的挑战。通过公益活动，以及家庭活动和教会，结实到了不同国家来伦敦的移民们，由于战争，生存，发展，灾难，教育等种种原因，有的独身过来，也有和家庭一起过来······听每个人的故事，都可以感受到普通移民者经历的艰难与他们身上的韧性。在伦敦的半年，很多时刻，会反思过去在国内为何没有更进一步去了流动人口的困境? 没有了解到所以人从陌生地方去打工或者打拼的人，他们她们遇到的各种困难？就像老人或者上一代的人，在一个城市，住宿找房，看病，住院，找工作，查找信息，生孩子，医保，孩子受教育户籍问题，吃饭饮食，文化语言，交友，融入与认同，再学习······这些困难她们是怎样度过来的呢？我们社会提供了怎样的帮助呢？很多年前发生在北京的清除“闲杂人员”的行动，以及外来务工孩子返乡读书的事情难道和我们没有关系吗？这门课是当时导师帮忙推荐的，也很好奇最后这个学期，这门课会带我走向哪里？从农村到城市，找到认同，是需要去反思城市化，去城市化，并且认同我们出生的地方。就如在这里学习，老师们鼓励我们去殖民化，去看见另一种叙事，去寻找另一种发展的可能。那移民的人们呢？根在哪里？如何在有差异的地方找到归属和价值，如何看待和过去的地方，文化，语言的关系?
就如此刻的我，有时候想丢掉所有的过去，想用新的语言和文化建构新的自我，但却忍不住回望，用熟悉的母语写下这些思考，想着那些在我们生命里教会我们爱的人。从乡村到城市，从城市去乡村，从他乡到异国，以及从异国到未知。在12岁离开家乡之后，我不再觉得自己属于某个固定地方，随遇而安也好，随波逐流也罢，也没有觉得必须要找个地方停留此生。但对我来说，感谢教育这条路让我有机会去走向很多地方，去打开去用另外的角度看待差异和认识自己。期待这门课，让我带着新的身份，移民——移动的公民，去走近更多带着移民标签的人儿以及她们的教育和发展。 由于接下来要连续上5天的课，每天持续三小时的上课，加上每天至少要3个小时的阅读和自学时间，因此，文章的笔记主要以摘录课程主要内容为主，加深理解，必要时候做注解。有兴趣的朋友，欢迎阅读英文，顺便当提升英文阅读。
Migration, Education and Development Overview
This module will introduce students to a range of critical perspectives on the education-migration-development nexus. The module will take an interdisciplinary approach to consider the following key questions:1) What new considerations for education and international development arise when we apply a migration lens?2) What sorts of theoretical frameworks and approaches are most useful in understanding the intersections between education, migration and development?3) What opportunities and challenges does migration create for education in the context of international development?4) What are the implications of migration processes for education policy and systems, curricula, pedagogy, training, and learner experiences and wellbeing?5) What approaches are most likely to promote justice, equity and wellbeing in and through education in the context of migration?6) How do gender and other inequalities intersect with the possibilities and constraints emerging from the education, migration and development nexus?The module explores how migration, education and development processes intersect across a range of local, national, regional and global contexts and are shaped by wider dynamics of globalisation, uneven development, conflict and inequality. It looks at some of the multiple – and often intersecting - causes of migration and reasons that people migrate both internationally and internally (including, for example, forced migration and displacement as a result of conflict, climate injustices and poverty, trafficking, migration for educational or economic advancement, seasonal labour migration and the movement of nomadic and pastoralist groups), and considers how these processes, often entailing movement of resources and ideas as well as people, interact with education and development in complex ways.它着眼于移民的一些多重且往往是交叉的原因以及人们国际和国内移民的原因（包括例如由于冲突、气候不公正和贫困、人口贩运、因 教育或经济进步、季节性劳动力移民以及游牧和牧民群体的流动），并考虑这些过程（通常涉及资源、思想以及人员的流动）如何以复杂的方式与教育和发展相互作用。A key focus of the module is on understanding the implications of migration for education systems, practices, and the experiences and wellbeing of learners in both sending and receiving countries and communities. This will entail paying attention both to how migrants themselves engage with and experience processes of inclusion or exclusion within education, and also to experiences of immobility, and the impact that migration has for those who stay behind. 这将需要关注移民本身如何参与和经历教育包容或排斥的过程，还要关注流动性的经历，以及移民对留下来的人的影响。This includes, for example, consideration of the impact of remittances and the role of the diaspora in supporting processes of education and development in their communities of origin; looking critically at debates around the so-called ‘brain-drain’ and the impact of outward teacher migration in low-income contexts; 例如，这包括考虑汇款的影响以及侨民在支持其原籍社区的教育和发展进程方面的作用；批判性地审视围绕所谓“人才外流”的辩论以及低收入环境下教师外流的影响；examining how migration may shape educational aspirations among young people in communities of high outward mobility; and exploring the implications of rural-urban migration for so called ‘left-behind’ children.研究移民如何塑造高外流社区年轻人的教育愿望；并探讨农村人口向城市流动对所谓“留守”儿童的影响。Throughout the module, case studies based on empirical research will be drawn on to enable students to explore concrete examples of some of the complex ways in which processes of migration, education and development interact in relation to different groups across a range of different contexts and settings.在整个模块中，将利用基于实证研究的案例研究，使学生能够探索移民、教育和发展过程与不同背景和环境下的不同群体相互作用的一些复杂方式的具体例子。 Module aims
· To enable students to engage critically with the relationship between education, migration and development from a range of disciplinary perspectives· To provide students with an understanding of the complex range of types, forms and patterns of migration, and their implications for education and development processes in both sending and receiving countries and communities· To encourage students to reflect on the relationships between migration, education and development with respect to their own lives and professional practice· To engage with the challenges and opportunities posed by migration for education and the wider SDG agenda· To consider how issues of inclusion, social justice, opportunity and equity shape and are shaped by processes of migration.Learning Outcomes
It is intended that students who participate fully in the module and complete the essential readings will:· Have developed a critical understanding of scholarship in this field particularly with regard to major contemporary debates concerning the complex range of types, forms and patterns of migration and their relationship with education and development, from a range of disciplinary perspectives · Be able to articulate orally and in writing the complexities of the migration, education and development relationship, and their implications for policy and practice· Be able to apply their new knowledge and skills in this area to their developing professional interests and priorities and communicate ideas to academic and non-academic audiences· Have developed a critical awareness of the complexities of migration discourses and debates and how they relate to education, the wider SDG agenda, and issues of inclusion, social justice and equity. Readings
The essential reading list for the module can be found here: Migration, Education and Development. More detailed reading lists, including further readings for each session are provided under the individual session tabs on this moodle space. Many of the essential readings are taken from the edited volume Education, Migration and Development, which can be downloaded here: Education, Migration and DevelopmentAmy North and Elaine Chase are the module leaders Migration, Education and Development. 看到了两位老师的简历和相关研究，很羡慕她们找到了自己喜欢的研究领域并且能够持续地做研究。这是这门课的作业，一篇3500字的关于移民教育与国际发展主题的论文以及一篇1500字面向公众的文章。过去的学习经验告诉我上课跟写作业的关系其实没那么大，上课更多是让我们认识各种理论，思维上的理解；而学作业则需要对1-2个理论加以运用，学术输出，需要技术和重新去这个理论进行理解，花费的时间需要很多。因此，每次都很享受上课的我一到写论文还是会有压力，需要在学术写作上下功夫。最后认识一下这门课的几位同学们，有几位同学之前一起上过其它的课！很欣赏国外的一些学生，大部分都是有四五六年甚至更长的相关经验，然后选择自己感兴趣的专业和领域进行学习，也让学习以及课堂的交流体验更加成熟和有观察洞察，也有一些在工作的伙伴选择兼职的方式来上课！Mathieu ：Hi everyone,After a quick look through all the topics I am really excited to meet and exchange with other participants.
