Pedagogies of the home and migrant young people’s educational experiences in post-Brexit Britain

This article examines how pedagogies of the home shape the educational experiences and identity formation of Central and Eastern European (CEE) migrant youth in the UK. Situated within the racialized politics of Brexit, it moves beyond deficit-oriented accounts of CEE migration to foreground the everyday knowledge practices, affective labour and relational resources cultivated within families and communities. Drawing on Delgado Bernal’s pedagogies of the home and Yosso’s community cultural wealth framework and based on 20 case studies in England and Scotland, the study shows how young people mobilize language, peer networks, religion, and family values to develop resilience, cultural competence, and strategies of resistance to marginalization.
