Session 113: Immigrant Youth and Education
Room: Kafka
Sponsor: Educational Problems
Organizer &
Presider: Irina Chukhray, University of California, Davis
Description: This session focuses broadly on higher education and immigrant youth in the United States and Canada. Our papers dive deep into immigrants’ supports and constraints in accessing higher education by asking whether counselors are the best informational resources, by illuminating the ways in which immigrants navigate constraints and costs of educational achievement, by delving into the ways immigrants redefine college-going habitus, by examining higher education access through mapping methodology that documents undocumented youths’ access to higher education across the United States, and by exploring immigrants’ experiences within STEM and higher education. The papers in this session focus on diverse immigrant groups, including African, Latinx, Asian, and other populations.
