Session Submission Summary

Bridging Multiple Worlds of Immigrant and Indigenous Students’ Pathways to Academic and Life Success

Sun, April 15, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, West Room 206

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents four studies of how immigrant and indigenous students navigate challenges and resources across their cultural worlds along multiple pathways in school and life. The studies provide insight into how youth successfully complete high school and transition to college by drawing on their social and cultural resources. Presenters examine how collaborations among stakeholder teams of youth, families, and community organizations strive towards this end. These efforts involve communities with unique histories and sociopolitical dynamics. The symposium examines commonalities and distinctiveness among strategies across settings, and how these enhance theory and practice. It applies Bridging Multiple Worlds and related theories (Cooper, 2011) to populations in Hawai‘i and California encountering challenges in building pathways for educational access.
