This paper describes the methodological premises for a participative and reflexive research in adult education with migrants and host communities. Particularly, it is argued that a sensobiographic approach can help participants (researchers, migrants, social workers and citizens) to better understand the daily experience of the other by way of going through affective and co-operative encounters. In response to the conference’s theme, we want to explore the pedagogical strategy of telling stories of migration and human and adult learning, and specifically their potential breadth and depth, and possible artfulness, in encompassing personal, social, professional and environmental struggles. Drawing on a duo-ethnographic (Sawyer & Norris, 2013) and critical (Gardner, 2014) research study, this paper looks at migration and inclusive education in the North of Italy, in the city of Lecco and nearby villages. We will engage with embodied emotions and reflections emerging from the conversations we had with three social workers employed locally for the integration of migrants.

Abstract

This paper describes the methodological premises for a participative and reflexive research in adult education with migrants and host communities. Particularly, it is argued that a sensobiographic approach can help participants (researchers, migrants, social workers and citizens) to better understand the daily experience of the other by way of going through affective and co-operative encounters. In response to the conference’s theme, we want to explore the pedagogical strategy of telling stories of migration and human and adult learning, and specifically their potential breadth and depth, and possible artfulness, in encompassing personal, social, professional and environmental struggles. Drawing on a duo-ethnographic (Sawyer & Norris, 2013) and critical (Gardner, 2014) research study, this paper looks at migration and inclusive education in the North of Italy, in the city of Lecco and nearby villages. We will engage with embodied emotions and reflections emerging from the conversations we had with three social workers employed locally for the integration of migrants.
