• In Event: 35.065 - Engaging the Multiple Assets of Students and Families

Abstract

Drawing insights from an ethnographic study with the three young children of a newcomer family to the U.S. from Syria, this paper aims to explore the ways in which the children draw from multiple contexts in constructing their identities during their initial integration journeys in a mid-sized U.S. city.
