Abstract

This symposium focuses on Asian immigrant parents’ experiences of raising bilingual children and the efforts they make across spaces and borders to navigate language shift and assimilation pressures. By presenting four qualitative studies conducted in and across different regions and countries—North Carolina, Utah, New York, and South Korea—we seek to unveil the diversifying experiences, unique forms of capitals, and exhaustive efforts that Asian immigrant parents make for their children.
