225 - Special Session. Framing Success: Immigrants and the New Second Generation

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

In this special session, the panelists will draw on their research to discuss how immigrants, their second-generation children, and the native host society frame “success.” The panelists will address how these groups define success, and the ways in which immigrant selectivity, group resources, immigrant optimism, contexts of reception, culture, and the racialization of ethnicity affect the framing and meaning of success in contemporary America.
