▼ The purpose of this qualitative study is to challenge the general beliefs and labels often associated with Latina/o immigrant students, especially unauthorized students, to give a voice and meaning to the thousands of unauthorized students walking the halls of Texas public schools, to understand the experiences of one unauthorized Latino immigrant student, and to add to the discussion regarding current policies and practices in effect for Latina/o immigrant students. A life narrative inquiry method was used in this study. Data were collected through five interviews conducted with the primary subject, one interview conducted with both of his parents, and one interview conducted with the subject’s high school principal. The purpose of each interview was to gain insight into the subject’s academic experiences as traversed within the socialized structures of a public school district. The interviews were audiotaped, translated into English as needed, and then transcribed by two third party members. Data were also collected through the subject’s academic records provided by the subject. This study began with one recurring question: What are the academic experiences of one unauthorized Latino immigrant student as traversed within the socialized structures of a public school system? The study was framed by one theoretical framework, racial opportunity cost (ROC). Data were analyzed using critically reflective analysis. The subject’s life narrative is presented in eight vignettes that offer an in-depth view of his experiences coupled with my personal reflections and knowledge of the subject’s story. The use of ROC as the theoretical framework impacted this study foremost by allowing the cultural viewpoints the subject experienced as truth and draws attention to school culture as having a significant impact on the academic experiences of Latina/o immigrant children. Two conclusions were made from this study. First, Latina/o immigrant youth primarily require social-emotional support above academic support, and secondly, well-prepared teachers are warranted to ensure the academic success of Latina/o immigrant youth. Recommendations for future research lend themselves toward further research from both immigrant students and their parents’ perspectives regarding their experiences in public school, policy regarding Latina/o immigrant youth, and educational leadership development.

▼ Immigrants play very important roles in maintaining demographic balance, cultural diversity and the economic prosperity of Canada, but new immigrants face challenges such as unemployment, underemployment, job insecurity, poverty and a poorer quality of life (Jackson, 2005). A significant number of foreign-trained skilled workers are employed in low-skilled service sector jobs in major Canadian cities (Creese & Wiebe, 2009). These workers tend to have elevated mental and physical health problems because of lower self-esteem and job dissatisfaction; extended hours of work with minimum wages; and job insecurity. They are generally sleep-deprived and are more likely to follow unhealthy behaviours and lifestyles. Therefore, the major objective of this thesis was to understand the role of work-related stress, job-dissatisfaction, health behaviours and lifestyle in determining mental and physical health status of immigrants working as taxi drivers, and convenience store or gas station workers in the city of Ottawa, Canada. This thesis used a “sequential explanatory” mixed-methods approach of data collection and analysis (Creswell, 2009). Secondary data from the 2001 and 2010 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and primary survey (n=146) and interview (n=19) data collected in the City of Ottawa in 2014 were analyzed to understand skilled immigrants’ mental and physical health status and their determinants. The findings of the research are organized into four chapters. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to understand the determinants of deteriorating health status of the general immigrant population in Canada and also to understand the predictors of mental and physical health status specific to skilled immigrants working in the city of Ottawa. The interview data were analyzed using a Grounded Theory (GT) approach to understand perceived work-related stress, social status and health status of high-skilled immigrants working in low-skilled jobs. The findings reveal that skilled immigrants working in low-skilled jobs have a higher level of work-related stress, job dissatisfaction, and poor mental and physical health status. The findings contribute to the existing literature on the debates about the Healthy Immigrant Effect (HIE), Healthy Worker Effect (HWE) and broader immigration policy by exploring the health status of skilled immigrants working in low-skilled jobs.

▼ An important goal for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is to increase physical activity participation as it has been documented that physical activity participation for children with ASD is significantly lower than their typically developing peers (Pan, 2008). To that end, the roles of parents are significant in increasing physical activity participation of children with ASD (Chaapel, Columna, Lytle, & Bailey, 2013). Moreover, families need to work together with school personnel to provide quality educational programming for their children with ASD (IDEA, 2004). With the U.S. special educational system, the number of students with disabilities from immigrant families has been increasing. Like other parents in the U.S., immigrant parents want appropriate and quality educational services for their children with disabilities, including physical education services (Cho, Singer, & Brenner, 2001). Therefore, the purpose of the study was to analyze positioning of Korean immigrant parents of children with ASD on physical education programming in the U.S. Five Korean immigrant parents of children with ASD (four mothers of children with ASD and one father of a child with ASD), who were immigrants, were recruited to participate in the study and to share information about their children's educational services. In using qualitative research design, different positions of Korean immigrant parents were explored; data were transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis, and then re-analyzed for themes using the position theory. During the data analysis procedure, re-current themes (i.e., common positions) and associated subthemes emerged from the data (e.g., interview with parents, review IEP documents, field notes). Evident throughout this study was that many immigrant parents of children with ASD were disconnected from the U.S. special education system due to cultural and language barriers. In addition, most Korean immigrant parents in this study were uncertain about GPE and APE for their children with ASD. However, within the limitations of this study, the immigrant parents of children with ASD highly valued the quality of educational services and wanted to be positioned as active in their roles in the U.S. educational landscape including GPE and APE service delivery. It is a critical request based on the findings of the study that more comprehensive support and understanding are needed for immigrant parents of children with ASD to participate in the educational process for their children within the U.S. The most salient message from the study is that GPE and APE teachers should be a part of supportive teams to assist immigrant parents to be more knowledgeable about GPE and APE and to encourage immigrant parents to facilitate their children’s engagement in GPE and APE classes. An important goal for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is to increase physical activity participation as it has been documented that physical activity participation for children with ASD is significantly lower than their… Advisors/Committee Members: Dillon, Suzanna R (advisor), Dillon, Suzanna (committee member).

▼ This dissertation analyzes the unprecedented, nationwide immigrant rights protest wave of 2006 and its effects on the national electorate and policymaking process. Specifically, the study focuses on three research questions: 1) What explains the surprising rise and abrupt decline of the demonstrations across the country?; 2) How were the marches organized, and what explains variation in the levels of mobilization in both expected and unexpected locations?; and 3) What, if any, effects did the wave of protests produce? To answer these questions, I use various data sources (e.g., more than 120 in-depth interviews, participant observation, newspaper archives, public opinion research, Census data, and data from the Department of Homeland Security) and perform multiple case studies. My findings indicate that a legislative threat to undocumented immigrants, and those who assisted them, helped create the opportunity for immigrant mass mobilization. This threat - along with the subsequent xenophobic rhetoric and discrimination against both immigrants and U.S.-born people of color from immigrant descent - helped create a collective identity and motivation to take action among supporters of immigrant rights. My results show that, through the utilization of local community resources and networks, immigrants formed broad coalitions to organize the demonstrations and diffused their calls for protest through ethnic media outlets. I find that levels of mobilization varied by the degree to which different immigrant ethnic groups felt threatened. Once the legislative attack had subsided, the movement shifted its focus to more institutional forms of politics. For the policymaking process, the immediate effects of the protest wave were that it helped prevent an anti-immigrant bill from passing in the Senate, while at the same time hurt activists' attempts to win legalization for undocumented immigrants. In terms of their indirect and long-term impacts, the demonstrations helped provide the momentum and laid the foundation for an unprecedented national campaign to naturalize, register, and mobilize millions of immigrants to vote, an impact that influenced the outcome of the historic presidential election of 2008.

▼ Historically, Liberian immigrants to the United States tended to be wealthy, educated individuals who wanted their children to acquire a Western education. The thirteen-year Liberian Civil War resulted in a new wave of U.S. migration. Many recent Liberian immigrants hold low socio-economic statuses. Some came to this country illiterate or with gaps in their education. This has created a cultural-educational gap amongst newly arrived Liberian immigrants. Many young Liberian immigrants struggle with educational and socialization issues. Studies have been conducted on the acculturation experiences of youths from Europe, Asia, and South and Central America. Yet to date, very little research has been done on the lives of African youth, especially those who emigrated from Liberia after the civil war. Their voices have been missing from the literature. This qualitative study provides narratives of four Liberian immigrant youths, between the ages of 18 and 22 years old, who formerly attended schools in Liberia, have lived in the U.S. less than ten years, and have attended at least three years of high school in the United States. Each youth was interviewed regarding their school, home, and community acculturation experiences. Excerpts of their interviews allow the reader to hear the participants' stories in their own words. Findings of the research from emergent themes indicate that the Liberian immigrant youths had many commonalities in their acculturation experiences such as: accent ridicule, bullying by peers, fights between African Americans and Liberian immigrants, and lack of appreciation for African cultures. The participants also struggled with ethnic identity issues, limited finances, and unjust educational and social systems in the United States. All four Liberian immigrants experienced some type of external and internal conflicts. A relationship was found between the possession of resiliency traits and the Liberian immigrant youths' abilities to handle conflicts and successfully acculturate to the United States. Two participants possessed strong resiliency characteristics such as autonomy, problem solving abilities, abilities to forgive, a sense of purpose and future, and creativity. They had favorable acculturation experiences, successfully graduating from high school. Two other participants lacked resiliency traits and had less favorable acculturation experiences. They succumbed to external and internal conflicts and dropped out of high school. Advisors/Committee Members: Larke, Patricia J. (advisor), Carter, Norvella P. (committee member), Clark, M.

▼ 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the United States. Of these, about 2 million are members of the undocumented 1.5-generation, meaning they came to the United States as children and remain here without a pathway to citizenship. This dissertation fills a gap in the immigration literature by comparing the incorporation experiences of undocumented young adults living in welcoming and hostile contexts. I specifically examine if and how state laws and policies shape the incorporation pathways of this group. Drawing from in-depth interviews with 70 Latino undocumented young adults, ages 18-30, in Los Angeles, California and Atlanta, Georgia, I find that Latino undocumented young adults negotiate multiple social and legal contexts as they navigate the transition to adulthood. I argue that Latino undocumented young adults’ connection to their families intersects with state laws and policies and an uncertain federal policy landscape to shape their everyday lived experience as well as their aspirations for their futures. To explain how these social and legal contexts intersect, I introduce the concept of nested socio-legal contexts. In three empirical chapters, I examine how nested socio-legal contexts shape Latino undocumented young adults in key areas of their lives including identity development, education, and political participation. Despite growing up and living in very different contexts, I find that Latino undocumented young adults in California and Georgia describe surprisingly similar feelings of uncertainty about their present lives and their futures. The federal political climate is a significant force that influences Latino undocumented young adults’ ideas about “Americanness” and citizenship, which in turn shapes their ethnic identity. State laws and policies, especially in the realm of higher educational access, create structural barriers at different points for Latino young adults in California and Georgia, impacting their opportunities for social mobility and sense of belonging. In both states, Latino undocumented young adults are deeply motivated by their parents’ migration sacrifices. This shapes nearly every facet of their lives including their educational aspirations and political participation. Ultimately, I argue that Latino undocumented young adults’ experiences of “illegality” and belonging are informed by nested socio-legal contexts that creates both inclusion and exclusion.

▼ Le Canada est un des pays avec la plus grande entrée d'immigrants au monde. Le processus d'immigration et l'intégration des immigrants, conjointement avec des changements socio-économiques tels que les changements dans les conditions économiques et des politiques sociales et fiscales, influent significativement sur le développement de l'économie canadienne. Par conséquent, ces changements ensemble provoquent à leur tour des modifications dans l'emploi et l'allocation du temps de la population domestique et des immigrants. Ainsi, dans ce mémoire, nous examinons comment les immigrants au Canada utilisent leur temps ainsi qu'en quoi les immigrants diffèrent de la population locale concernant l'emploi du temps. L'analyse est basée sur des modèles économétriques dans le but d'estimer les déterminants de trois mesures d'emploi du temps, soit : 1) le temps moyen consacré à une activité donnée (moyenne inconditionnelle sur tous les individus), 2) le taux de participation à une activité et 3) le niveau d'intensité de participation (la moyenne conditionnelle à la participation). En contrôlant pour différents facteurs démographiques, l'analyse donne un aperçu des différences dans l'emploi du temps entre les immigrants et natifs ainsi qu'entre les femmes et les hommes et les personnes à divers niveaux d'éducation. Également, une partie de l'analyse est orientée vers l'intégration des immigrants dans la société canadienne en termes d'emploi du temps. Notamment, nous tentons de déterminer si cette forme d'assimilation des immigrants influe sur leurs salaires et leur participation au marché du travail. Dans ce mémoire nous utilisons les données des Enquêtes sociales générales (ESG) de Statistique Canada pour l'année 1998 cycle 12 (ESG-12) et pour l'année 2005 cycle 19 (ESG-19). Les résultats montrent qu'il existe une différence entre les immigrants et les natifs dans le temps moyen consacré aux activités telles que le travail rémunéré, les achats, les études, la production domestique et les loisirs. Nous avons également constaté que les facteurs démographiques influencent les individus à accorder leur temps différemment. Par ailleurs, nous avons démontré qu'une partie de la différence dans l'emploi du temps est expliquée par les différentes caractéristiques individuelles. Les résultats indiquent aussi que plus l'emploi du temps d'un immigrant est différent d'un natif moyen, plus sa participation sur le marché de travail diminue ainsi que son revenu. Également, le pays d'origine des immigrants pourrait être l'une des causes de la distance, en termes d'emploi du temps, entre les immigrants et les natifs. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : immigrants, assimilation, emploi du temps, ségrégation, dissimilarité.

▼ My study attempts to answer important questions about how individuals develop an entrepreneurial identity, and what the role of family is during the identity transition process. To do this, I combined three streams of literature: identity theory, family capital theory, and the immigrant entrepreneurship literature. My research setting was Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs in Alberta, Canada. I employed a qualitative methodology that relied on in-depth interviews with 30 Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs discussing their stories of business start-ups. The data were then analyzed using a grounded theory approach. My analysis showed that the immigrant entrepreneurs went through three stages to construct their new identities: exploring possible selves, crafting a new identity, and consolidating identity through self-narratives. My analysis also showed that family plays an important role at each stage of identity transition. At the exploration stage, the family provides emotional support and companionship, shows belief in the entrepreneurs, and encourages the entrepreneurs to exploit their potential. At later stages, family capital is more instrumental, reducing the need for external resources. Furthermore, I found that family capital is inherently paradoxical; the interviewees revealed that family could contribute both positively and negatively to business ventures. That is, family ties that were once supportive to the business could easily transition into a hindrance; and likewise, family hindrance also had the potential to turn into family support. I then identified five strategies that immigrant entrepreneurs have adopted to manage the paradox. My study contributes to the identity work literature by delineating the process of exploratory identity construction and advancing the understandings of entrepreneurial identity construction. It also contributes to family capital theory by highlighting the significance of family in facilitating identity transition, and revealing the sometimes detrimental effect of family capital. Finally, in an effort to move away from contextual and structural hypotheses as sole explanations for the high rate of self-employment among immigrant entrepreneurs, my study draws attention to the micro-level behaviour of immigrant entrepreneurs, and provides a useful starting point from which we can deepen our understanding of the agency of immigrant entrepreneurship. Implications for policy and practice are also discussed.

▼ How well immigrants and refugees adjust to Canadian society is critical for their well-being and integration. Using an acculturation development framework and emphasizing a process-oriented and strength-based approach, this dissertation reports on three papers related to immigrant and refugee adjustment, education, and acculturation in Canada. In the first paper, I drew on ethnographic methodology to examine the school engagement of newcomer Somali parents and the ways in which engagement was facilitated in a school-based transition program. I collected multiple types of data including field notes, meeting notes, 19 individual interviews with program stakeholders (teachers, after-school staff, cultural brokers, program leadership, and representatives from immigrant serving organizations), and one group interview with 13 Somali mothers. Results showed that parental engagement was limited due to language-related barriers, dissimilar cultural and educational expectations, practical, resettlement, and social barriers. These barriers were successfully addressed in the program through various strategies including cultural brokering services and parent information meetings. In the second paper, I used the same ethnographic methodology to examine the school adjustment experiences of recently arrived Somali and Ethiopian adolescents with limited formal schooling. Field notes were recorded and interviews were conducted with 11 adolescents, 8 of their teachers, and 12 after-school/settlement staff working closely with the adolescents during their early transition years. Results highlighted the social-emotional, acculturation, and academic needs of newcomer adolescent refugees, as well as their strengths. In the third paper, I used a method of interpretive description to compare the bicultural experiences and competencies of first- and second-generation immigrants and refugees who have lived in Canada for a longer period of time and have experienced positive acculturation outcomes. Focus groups were conducted with eight first-generation and eight second-generation youth and adults. Results showed that both generations experienced acculturation challenges and developed similar bicultural competencies; however, the second generation experienced unique challenges within family and heritage peer networks. Together, the findings highlight some of the difficulties immigrants and refugees face when navigating two cultures and the need for educational supports that take into consideration their social-emotional and acculturation challenges and acknowledge their cultural capital, aspirations, and pre-migration knowledge.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the relations between cultural values, social norms, and beliefs related to co-sleeping with the sleeping arrangements of first generation Chinese immigrants in Canada. The participants were 162 first generation Chinese immigrants from four Canadian cities who had children ranging from 2 months to 71 months (M = 37.9, SD = 18.06). Participants completed a questionnaire measuring their cultural values and beliefs, value of parenting roles and family, value of romantic relationships, and beliefs of sleeping arrangements. Parents indicated their sleeping arrangements (i.e. where child slept and with whom the child slept). Participants were also asked to draw a picture of their bedroom(s) which indicated the location of the child’s and/or parent’s bed, and the distance between the two beds. Results indicated that 77% Chinese parents in this study co-slept with their pre-school aged child, whereas only 23% parents let their child sleep in their own bedroom. Among the co-sleepers, half of the children slept in their parent’s bed, and half of them slept in their own bed, which was either attached to the parent’s bed or separated from the parent’s bed. The mean distance between the parents’ bed and the child’s bed was 21.15cm (SD = 42.74) for co-sleeping families, and 502.8 cm (SD = 188.69) for solitary sleeping families. Using stepwise regression analysis, the relations between demographic factor, space availability, values, norms, and beliefs, on the one hand, and sleeping arrangements, on the other, were examined. Personal beliefs about sleeping arrangements, including cultural beliefs of independence and interdependence, beliefs of marital quality, and beliefs of solitary sleeping, influence sleeping arrangements. Parents’ length of residency in Canada, child’s age, and bedroom numbers also influence sleeping arrangements. The findings have important implications for researchers and health professionals in terms of sleeping arrangements in the larger socio-cultural context.

▼ As Spain has experienced unprecedented levels of immigration in the last few decades many researchers have investigated the various policies and practices regarding the language education of immigrant students. The literature indicates that in both monolingual and bilingual regions immigrant students are viewed as linguistically deficient and are often marginalised in classroom practices, which impedes their ability to integrate and contributes to their academic failure. Additionally, in regions like Madrid with little recent history of linguistic and cultural heterogeneity, the literature has found that monolingual and monocultural ideologies often underlie the policies and practices of language education. These ideologies are not restricted to the abstract institutional level, but have also been revealed to exist amongst Spanish teachers and administrators who discursively and interactionally rank immigrant students hierarchically based on their place of origin (Relaño Pastor, 2009; Martín Rojo, Relaño Pastor & Rasskin Gutman, 2010). The research that has highlighted these shortcomings in Spain’s current educational system has focussed mainly on the examination of policy and classroom interaction and relied on the input of teachers, administrators, and immigrant students and their families, but has largely ignored native Spanish, or autochthonous, students. Are autochthonous students in a monolingual region guided by the same monolingual and monocultural ideologies as Spanish teachers and administrators when it comes to evaluating immigrant languages and those who speak them? Through a language attitudes survey, the current study provides the first look at autochthonous students’ opinions and views about the some of the most common immigrant languages in Spain today—Romanian, Latin American Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. It also surveys the students' language attitudes towards English and French, their two curricular languages, and analyses the attitudes for four variables: grade level, gender, language curriculum the students study in and language(s) spoken in the home. It was found that students expressed neutral-to-favourable attitudes towards all six languages in the study and the most favourable opinions about English and English speakers and French and French speakers. Regarding the immigrant languages, students reported more favourable attitudes towards Latin American Spanish and its speakers than (in descending order) Chinese and Chinese speakers, Arabic and Arabic speakers and Romanian and Romanian speakers. The variables language reported as spoken in the home and gender account for significant variance, while grade level and CLIL curriculum do not. Advisors/Committee Members: Joseph, John.

▼ Abstract The difference in educators’ and immigrant parents’ definition of parent involvement has led to the view that immigrant parents are less involved in their children’s education than native parents from the middle class (Crozier & Davies, 2005). The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of three immigrant parents born in Africa and the Caribbean with parent involvement in their children’s education at the elementary level. This phenomenological study utilized semi-structured interviews to gain a better understanding of the various ways in which immigrant parents are involved in their children’s education, and the factors that influenced how they became involved. The findings revealed that the essence of the parents’ experience of involvement in their children’s education was maintaining nurturing relationships. Participants guided their children into a relationship with God, they cultivated a loving relationship with their children, and had a cooperative relationship with their children’s school. The parents’ experience is explored using the themes spiritual leadership, creating and nurturing relationships, and anticipatory socialization. The description of the parents’ experiences provides some insight into how immigrant parents view and enact their role in their children’s education. The study also highlights how different cultural beliefs influence the ways in which parents contributed to their children’s development. The parents were already making contributions in a variety of ways to their children’s education. However, for the most part their activities were home-based and geared towards only their own children. There were opportunities for the parent to become more involved in ways that would extend to other members of the school community. The implications of this study for practice are that educators should give an orientation to parents new to Canada about strategies they can use to incorporate school based involvement activities into their busy schedules. This will suggest ideas that parents may not have considered and could be effective in increasing their involvement on the school compound. Implications for future research include the need to investigate how culture delimits the ways in which parents become involved. There is also a need to explore what factors would motivate immigrant parents to become more involved in their children’s education on the school site.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the intersection of homeownership and immigrant assimilation. Homeownership is emphasized because of its importance in establishing positive legacies crucial to social mobility of subsequent generations. The dissertation addresses three questions related to immigrant homeownership. First, how are immigrants and subsequent generations faring in the transition to first-time homeownership? Second, how does immigrant homeowner attainment differ in non-traditional settlement areas commonly described as “new destinations?” Lastly, how does immigrant homeownership influence immigrant children’s educational attainment? The dissertation consists of three substantive studies. The first is a longitudinal analysis of the transition to first-time homeownership among a cohort of youths followed from 1979 to 2009 using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY, 1979). In particular, it examines ethno-generational group differences in first-time homeownership over an observation period that spans thirty years while testing theories of straight-line and segmented assimilation. The second study assesses patterns of immigrant homeownership in traditional and non-traditional settlement areas using data from the 2011 American Community Survey (ACS) to examine homeownership rates among foreign-born Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans. The final study investigates whether homeownership influences social mobility among subsequent generations using data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) to examine the educational attainment of a variety of immigrant groups from San Diego, California. I find immigrant homeownership is shaped by a variety of factors beyond socioeconomic resources, including settlement area and life-course characteristics. In addition, racial and ethnic group variation in homeownership rates exists despite controlling for individual factors. Furthermore, the inequalities in homeownership may influence the mobility of future generations as I found homeownership to have a positive influence on children’s educational outcomes.

▼ In the aftermath of World War II, Canada entered a period of tremendous transformation. The years between 1947 and 1955 were marked by changes to the political, economic, and social landscape of Canada. Reconstruction meant not only moving away from a wartime industrial base and from debt to surplus but a remaking of a national identity. Slowly emerging as an independent nation during the postwar period, Canada struggled to define its national identity. From a Dominion imperceptibly tied to the United Kingdom through citizenship, trade, politics and culture, the increasing independence meant redefining that relationship, its national identity and Canadianizing existing structures. Of these constructions, long-held notions about assimilation were in dispute. The increased ethnic diversity resulting from reformed immigration policies intensified the pressure to quickly assimilate new Canadians into what was seen as the new world order. Older ideologies such as Anglo-conformity vied with emerging assimilation concepts such as pluralism for dominance, both destabilized by the ongoing dualistic nature of the French and English-speaking populations. Immigrants entering Canada during these years were caught in this flux. The turbulence, however, created an environment conducive to negotiating citizenship on an individual level. As such, these assimilation theories significantly impacted Canadian immigration policies and integration strategies. Education played a significant role in assimilating immigrants into Ontario’s dominant culture. Schooling provided an opportunity to indoctrinate immigrants in both the state and process of citizenship, which were considered integral elements of assimilation. This thesis, in particular, examines the assimilation of Dutch immigrants in Ontario’s rural schools during the years 1947-1955. However, schools proved a contradictory space for assimilation–demanding unquestioned conformity and yet allowing opportunities to negotiate citizenship.

▼ Le Canada est un des pays avec la plus grande entrée d'immigrants au monde. Le processus d'immigration et l'intégration des immigrants, conjointement avec des changements socio-économiques tels que les changements dans les conditions économiques et des politiques sociales et fiscales, influent significativement sur le développement de l'économie canadienne. Par conséquent, ces changements ensemble provoquent à leur tour des modifications dans l'emploi et l'allocation du temps de la population domestique et des immigrants. Ainsi, dans ce mémoire, nous examinons comment les immigrants au Canada utilisent leur temps ainsi qu'en quoi les immigrants diffèrent de la population locale concernant l'emploi du temps. L'analyse est basée sur des modèles économétriques dans le but d'estimer les déterminants de trois mesures d'emploi du temps, soit : 1) le temps moyen consacré à une activité donnée (moyenne inconditionnelle sur tous les individus), 2) le taux de participation à une activité et 3) le niveau d'intensité de participation (la moyenne conditionnelle à la participation). En contrôlant pour différents facteurs démographiques, l'analyse donne un aperçu des différences dans l'emploi du temps entre les immigrants et natifs ainsi qu'entre les femmes et les hommes et les personnes à divers niveaux d'éducation. Également, une partie de l'analyse est orientée vers l'intégration des immigrants dans la société canadienne en termes d'emploi du temps. Notamment, nous tentons de déterminer si cette forme d'assimilation des immigrants influe sur leurs salaires et leur participation au marché du travail. Dans ce mémoire nous utilisons les données des Enquêtes sociales générales (ESG) de Statistique Canada pour l'année 1998 cycle 12 (ESG-12) et pour l'année 2005 cycle 19 (ESG-19). Les résultats montrent qu'il existe une différence entre les immigrants et les natifs dans le temps moyen consacré aux activités telles que le travail rémunéré, les achats, les études, la production domestique et les loisirs. Nous avons également constaté que les facteurs démographiques influencent les individus à accorder leur temps différemment. Par ailleurs, nous avons démontré qu'une partie de la différence dans l'emploi du temps est expliquée par les différentes caractéristiques individuelles. Les résultats indiquent aussi que plus l'emploi du temps d'un immigrant est différent d'un natif moyen, plus sa participation sur le marché de travail diminue ainsi que son revenu. Également, le pays d'origine des immigrants pourrait être l'une des causes de la distance, en termes d'emploi du temps, entre les immigrants et les natifs. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : immigrants, assimilation, emploi du temps, ségrégation, dissimilarité.

▼ The main aim of this study was to discover how immigrant mothers experience parenting in relation to their perception of a Norwegian standard of ‘doing parenting’. Taking the point of departure from an ethnic plural sample group, the study evoked an understanding of a culturally embedded parent and similar challenges faced in adapting to the Westernized ideal of parenting according to modern Norwegian values. Three research questions formed the skeletal frame around which the study would be structured. These questions sought to excavate the parents’ understanding of a Nordic socialized childhood, a reflection on their acculturation process and a consideration as to how the Norwegian society promoted or discouraged parenting practices influenced by their respective cultural contexts. The research was undertaken qualitatively with semi-structured interviews facilitating the data collection process. The sample group consisted of eight mothers, two each from Somalia, Tunisia, Poland and Nigeria who are currently residing in the Rogaland Kommune, Stavanger. A thematic narrative methodological hybrid was exploited as means of designing the data analytic tool. Employing foundational principles of the ‘negotiation culture’, individualistic/collectivistic and acculturation paradigms, a conceptual frame was developed to inform the interpretation of the main findings. The results of the study indicate that the intercultural contact between immigrants and the Norwegian society is one laced with difficulties and ambiguities. The study has proven that irrespective of ethnic, religious or cultural differences, some elements of immigrant parenting are experienced similarly across minority groups; namely cultural shedding, specific child-rearing values, a need for the maintenance of cultural identity, intergenerational conflicts and sociocultural adaptation. The study has also indicated that there exists an intensively ambivalent relationship between the general immigrant population and the Barnevernet (CWS). The findings justified that this reality speaks to unawareness of the disparity between child protection versus child welfare on the part of the migrant community, while unawareness of cultural differences on the institution’s part. The study concludes that cultural sensitivity is an easy phrase to pronounce, but one that presents a paradoxical challenge in defining ‘the best interest’ for children who are at the heart of the policies programs centered on parenting. Migrant parents might be of the view that parenting ought to be a personal matter. However, Norwegian path-dependent values of egalitarianism, ‘sameness’ and the pervasiveness of the CRC on issues of child development, challenges the ability of child protection stakeholders to negotiation a position of mutual understanding.

▼ Internationally, South Africa receives the highest annual number of asylum applications with about 106,904 of applications received in 2011 (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR], 2013) of which 16,970 were from the Democratic Republic Congo (DRC) (UNHCR, 2012). Durban is a city in the province of KwaZulu-Natal with a considerable number of Congolese refugees, which makes it a good site for research about Congolese refugees, their place in the business arena and in small medium and micro enterprises (SMMES) in Durban. After taking the decision to open small businesses, DRC refugees in Durban encounter many difficulties (UNHCR, 2012). An exploratory qualitative research design was used to understand the experiences faced by Congolese refugees in developing SMMES using the structural opportunity theory on immigrant entrepreneurship. A qualitative research methodology allowed for exploration of the difficulties refugee entrepreneurs are facing in Durban city Centre. Non-probability sampling was used in particular purposive sampling technique. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The study found that opening of any kind of business requires a lot of effort and resource mobilization is a crucial step for all who wanted to start business. The majority of participants in this study said that their business was not created to have a brilliant future but for family survival. Most refugees lack sufficient and true information about the process to get any legal documents for their businesses. Refugees who have no information about the process of obtaining business documents are afraid to invest more in their businesses and apply any element of novelty or creativity. However, they are aware that knowledge is an important element in their business activities in order to be successful in addition to being positive minded, having capital or belonging to a group of immigrants who are predisposed to be engaged in entrepreneurship.

▼ Although immigrant entrepreneurship as a phenomenon is not new, most studies within the field of immigrant entrepreneurship have focused on immigrants moving from emerging economies to developed economies. Little research attention has been devoted to immigrant entrepreneurship with focus on immigrants from developed countries moving to other developed countries. There have neither been any comparative studies between the motives among DEIE and EEIE. To address this issue, this study analyzes the similarities and differences between IE’s from emerging/developed economies in terms of motives for engaging in self-employment, as well as challenges they face throughout the process. To answer these questions, a qualitative study was conducted with two IE groups originating from developed- and emerging economies, to analyze the IE’s motives for engaging in self-employment, and challenges they faced. The results of this study showed that there are more similarities than differences between the two IE groups in terms of push/pull motives. One distinct difference however, is that DEIE do not engage in entrepreneurial activities out of necessity, while EEIE in contrast show tendencies of both necessity and opportunity motives. This study also shows evidence which supports the home-country hypothesis, where self-employment tradition from the home-country influences the immigrants’ decision to continue the ‘tradition’ in the COR. The differences among the two IE groups is that the DEIE are more likely to originate from countries with a tradition of self-employment- subsequently being more probable to be influenced by the home-country to engage in self-employment activities as it is almost a ‘normal’ for them. There seems to be no distinction between the two groups in terms of how social networks are utilized but rather similarities, in terms of its importance in: marketing their businesses, financing the business, opportunity identification, validating the business idea, and opportunity identification. This study has also shown that there are more similarities than differences in terms of challenges faced by the two immigrant entrepreneur groups. The main challenges faced by both IE groups are: bureaucratic complexity; the language barrier, which hindered them from employment; and disregarded qualifications from the COO, which consequently hindered them from qualified employments. Furthermore, this study contributes to the overall understanding of the IE phenomenon, and has added further understanding of IE from developed economies.

▼ This thesis describes three studies that examined the experiences of foreign-born families staying in the emergency shelter system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In the first study, timeline mapping and qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 Canadian-born and 23 foreign-born homeless families to understand the needs of these families and their pathways into homelessness. In the second study, data were drawn from quantitative interviews with 75 heads of families who were experiencing homelessness in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This cross-sectional study examined differences in mental and physical health, chronic medical conditions, access to care, unmet healthcare needs, and diagnoses of mental disorders between foreign-born and Canadian-born families. In the third study, in-depth interviews were used to explore the shelter experiences of 16 foreign-born adolescents and young adults (aged 16-21) who were residing in emergency shelters with their families. Overall, findings from the three studies indicated that foreign-born families faced unique challenges before and during their homelessness. Moreover, some of these challenges were associated with adjusting to life in Canada. Challenges, such as staying housed and financially stable were common and led families to require shelter services. However, foreign-born families also reported positive experiences that may buffer some of the negative impacts associated with immigrating to a new country, housing instability, and homelessness. In the first study, more heterogeneity was found in the homeless pathways reported by foreign-born families than by Canadian-born families. The experiences they had prior to homelessness were also different across themes of poverty, health and substance use, interpersonal challenges, victimization, traumatic experiences, and stressful life events. In the second study, foreign-born heads of families reported better mental health and fewer chronic medical conditions than did Canadian-born heads of families with a significantly lower proportion of foreign-born participants reporting having been diagnosed with a mental disorder. In the third study, youth described homeless shelters as stressful environments but also found that the shelters provided support to them and their families. Youth also discussed the various strategies they used to cope with the challenges of shelter life. Findings from the studies suggest that foreign-born families experiencing homelessness are a heterogeneous group with diverse needs and experiences who may require services that differ in type, duration, and intensity than those that may be required by Canadian-born families.

▼ One in eight children in the U.S. live in an immigrant Latino family. The contexts common to their families include accumulated disadvantages that result in diminished educational attainment. High quality early childhood education (ECE) is increasingly seen as a cost-effective intervention that can mitigate negative educational outcomes for children, yet research has found that Latino immigrant families have lower utilization rates of center-based care, often associated with high quality, than other racial and ethnic counterparts. This research study aimed to better understand the ECE decision-making process of Latino foreign-born parents with children ages 3 to 5 through an examination of the accommodation model to develop a culturally-informed model that delineates family and community characteristics, parental preferences and perceived opportunities and constraints that relate to ECE selection for this population. This aim was addressed through a two phase, mixed methods study. Through group interviews with twenty-two Latino immigrant parents across four communities in the Greater New York City metropolitan area, Phase 1 sought to explore the decision-making process through which such parents pursue ECE decisions for their young children. Thematic analysis informed by grounded-theory identified seven themes central to these families: beliefs about development and parental goals, “cara vemos, corazon no sabemos”/trusting providers, understanding of ECE, perceived context of reception, informed preferences, opportunities and constraints, and evaluating ECE. The resulting culturally-informed model highlights the ways that the culturally-bounded contexts common to Latino immigrant families inform their mental representations of available ECE choices, parental beliefs and socialization goals, and social context to create a set of informed preferences that guide their decision-making. These findings highlight the importance of maternal employment and parental beliefs about development in constraining parent’s informed preferences and ECE choice. Phase 2 aimed to test the overall integrity of the culturally-informed model of decision-making and assesses its prediction of Latino immigrant parents’ ECE selection. Data were drawn from the Household and Center-based Surveys of the 2012 National Survey of Early Care and Education, with data on 744 children ages 3 to 5 years in Latino immigrant families. Measures from parent reports and administrative data operationalized six of the themes found in the first phase. Findings from multinomial logistic regression analyses found that maternal employment and child age moderated components of the model and ECE selection. Results also highlight the importance of culturally-bounded contexts of the ECE decision-making process of Latino immigrant families. Findings from each phase were compared through side-by-side analysis for convergence. Implications for future research, policy and the field are discussed.
