From lost to leading
In response to a growing awareness of undocumented students’ experiences and the challenges they face, many colleges in the United States are developing supports and resources for undocumented students, and a growing number are establishing Undocumented Student Resource Centers (USRCs)—i.e., supportive offices on campus dedicated to the success of these students (Cisneros & Valdivia, 2020). However, no studies to date have explored the psychosoci…
Fostering existential well-being
In recent years, scholars have taken increased interest in the existential dimensions of human im/mobility largely to trace how growing numbers of persons across the globe are pressed to navigate increasingly restrictive mobility regimes. The focus on restrictive contexts has, however, deterred researchers from considering experiences of well-being in precarious conditions. This paper shows how a place-based approach to the study of im/mobility c…
Mental health help-seeking among Latina/o/x undocumented college students
Results indicate that a greater use of resources and an inclusive campus environment, as well as efforts to minimize policy-related feelings of social exclusion, may facilitate undocumented students' professional mental health help-seeking. These findings emphasize the need to take multiple and multi-level ecological factors into account when considering mental health service use, particularly in the case of undocumented immigrants and likely oth…
No Way! Like Only Hispanics are Illegal”
Building on recent studies of “racialized illegality,” this paper examines the psychosocial development of migrant “illegality” in a sample of ethnically and racially diverse immigrant young people. In-depth interviews and fieldnotes were collected in Chicago with White, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Latina/o immigrants ( N = 43; 14–33 years of age; 15 male, 28 female) who were undocumented and/or grew up in families with at least one undocumen…
Toward a Nuanced and Contextualized Understanding of Undocumented College Students
Prior research has established that undocumented immigrant experiences are dynamic, reflecting the complex web of immigration-related policies that create legal vulnerability. As such, undocumented college students’ experiences must be situated in their current policy context. Drawing on descriptive analyses of a survey of 1,277 undocumented 4-year college students in California, we examine how undocumented students are faring in a relatively inc…
The Psychology of Migrant “Illegality”
Critical migration studies emerged to trace how restrictive immigration contexts contribute to conditions of migrant “illegality” and deportability. More recently, researchers have turned to examine diversity in migrants’ experiences, revealing how migrant “illegality” and deportability can take varied forms based on different social factors, including migrants’ immigration status, developmental stage, ethno-racial background, gender, and nationa…
Cultural psychology for a new era of citizenship politics
In the current era of citizenship politics, both legal citizenship and cultural citizenship have become highly contested social categories and new bases for social discrimination. Psychological studies of migration thus need to consider more explicitly how shifting sociopolitical contexts shape migrant life opportunities and how migrants respond to their shifting circumstances. Cultural psychologists have much to contribute to this project given …
The Power of Inclusion
Critical migration scholars argue that undocumented 1.5-generation immigrants occupy distinct forms of 'abject' statuses, as legally excluded yet physically included members of society. Implemented in June 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program promised to alleviate the situation of many undocumented young persons in the United States by providing them with temporary work authorization, social security numbers, and protec…
Growing global disparities in the “capacity to aspire”
Cycles of deportability
In recent decades, migration scholars have challenged reified categories of 'illegal' migrants and observed migrant 'illegalization' and deportability as exploitative sociopolitical processes. Yet, in the move away from studying 'undocumented migrants' as distinct epistemic subjects, we argue that scholars have lost sight of migrants as agents. Consequently, migrant lives are explained in terms of social determinants rather than migrants' intenti…
A cultural psychology for a globalizing world
Crisis? What crisis? Cross-cultural psychology’s appropriation of cultural psychology
Whereas cross-cultural psychology and cultural psychology have been distinguished as separate projects for decades, talk about their possible collaboration is becoming increasingly common. Several scholars have described their differences as essentially non-oppositional and the latest Handbook of Cultural Psychology combines articles from both research traditions. This paper scrutinizes these consolidating efforts first by tracing historically ho…
“Cultural dope” and “psychological dope”
Using articles published in this journal by Brown, McHoul and Rapley in 2001 and Middleton and Lightfoot, also in 2001, we use ethnomethodology as a pretext for discussing the foundation of cultural psychology on the admittedly difficult notion of everyday life and people’s methods in negotiating that life. The social ordering of what Garfinkel termed an “immortal ordinary society” is just the kind of ordering the study of which might lead to a c…
Psychology
As it understands itself, psychology is the scientific study of individual behavior and mental processes. Broadly, psychologists divide their work into pure and applied fields. Pure researchers have adopted the investigative methods of the natural sciences (i.e., positivist empiricism and variants) and study the fundamental processes that are said to undergird human behavior. Applied practitioners have pursued “in the world” applications of psych…
The Production of Irregular Migration in Canada
Irregular migration is a growing, global issue that is still undertheorized in the Canadian context. While economic globalization and capitalist expansion displace growing numbers of migrants, advanced nations including Canada are tightening their borders and increasing their immigration laws. With fewer legal migration channels available, a growing number of migrants are choosing irregular ways of life, whereby they reside, work, and raise their…
Rethinking dialogicality and other ways of being in the world
Addressing the Other in Dialogue
The dialogical self, defined as a dynamic multiplicity of I-positions, has been taken up in multiple ways in psychology generally and cultural psychology specifically. As a self unfolding dynamically with others in a world, the dialogical self is at its foundation ethical. Self scholars have recognized the ethical nature of the dialogical self, but have not yet described how the self navigates its course in light of the demands and considerations…
