Recovering Hope and Agency in the Disorienting Dilemma of Immigration as IEHP
This presentation outlines the impact of transformative learning processes for participants in Fostering Integration for IEHPs program. It explains how IEHPs in this program move though the disorienting dilemmas of immigration and difficulty accessing fair employment by recovering hope and a sense of agency. Processes of self-reflection, awareness of one’s life story, critical thinking and building a sense of community lead to transformation at three levels: cognitive (changing worldviews), emotional (changing emotions) and conative (accessing one’s agency for awareness-based action).
