Barriers, Racism, Discrimination, and Stereotypes Against an Adult Immigrant Pursuing Adult Education: A Case Study
Year: 2021
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Barriers, racism, discrimination, and stereotypes are experienced by immigrants every day. These problems are especially important when immigrants are seeking education. Education is critical for immigrants because it allows for integration, which is vital to an immigrant’s life in the United States. The study asked a participant, who had come to the United States for a degree, for a description of their experiences in the United States. The study confirmed that barriers, racism, discrimination, and stereotypes are experienced by immigrants when pursuing education in the United States. Taking a pedagogy approach may improve learning outcomes in immigrants. Education on racism, creating social capital, and improving social ties can ease the pain associated with barriers, racism, discrimination, and stereotypes that immigrants face.
