Workshop – Education and Democracy in an Age of Encounter: What Schools Must Do Now – Adam Strom, Re-Imagining Migration

Join us for the workshop “Education and Democracy in an Age of Encounter: What Schools Must Do Now” as we consider the challenges facing education in a world increasingly marked by division, polarization, and competing narratives. The workshop will explore how schools can create spaces for dialogue, critical thinking, and meaningful encounters across differences—helping young people navigate polarization while strengthening the foundations of democratic life. Adam Strom, who will be the speaker in the workshop, is an educator who taught first and second generation immigrant students across the schools in the USA. Adam co-founded Re-Imagining Migration to address a critical gap in education: creating learning environments where migration experiences are understood as fundamental to American democracy, where schools become models of inclusion, and where belonging drives academic success and thriving communities. We look forward to welcoming students from all departments to join us for the event. Link for registration is provided below.
