Developing an Acculturation and Resilience Scale for Use with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations
Australian multicultural society consists of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) migrants, refugees and international students from different parts of the world. Despite hardships, these individuals show resilience and adapt successfully. However, there is a dearth of scales measuring these positive developments and personal strengths. The study describes the development and evaluation of a scale measuring resilience and acculturation of…
The Politics of Welfare Inclusion: Explaining State Variation in Legal Immigrants' Welfare Rights
This article examines the relationship between the immigrant and racial context and whether or not U.S. states replaced public assistance benefits to legal immigrants after those benefits were denied at the federal level in 1996. Consistent with the “power in numbers” and “contact hypothesis,” logistic and Poisson regression results show a significant and positive relationship between benefit replacements and the percentage of the total populatio…

Based on in-depth qualitative interviews, this study examined the factors that influenced Latino/a students’ decision to matriculate at a particular doctoral institution. Findings reveal that Latinos/as are influenced by several factors in their selection of a doctoral program, including location (proximity to home), faculty influences, financial considerations, campus climate concerns, and circumscribed choices. Guided by multiracial feminist th…

Based on in-depth qualitative interviews, this study examined Latinos' graduate school choice process. Grounded in intersectionality and social and cultural capital theories, this study examined barriers and support structures encountered by Latinos as they navigate through the graduate school application phase. Findings reveal that lack of access to social and cultural capital hampers Latinos' graduate school choice opportunities and outcomes. I…
Beyond Home-Host Dichotomies: A Comparative Examination of Gender Relations in a Transnational Mexican Community
Based on a qualitative study with women from a transnational Mexican community, the authors examine how women's perceptions of gender empowerment, adherence and practice of gender ideals, and the household division of labor vary across generations and borders. Generally, immigration scholars suggest that employment and immigration experiences empower women and create greater gender equality among families. This study problematizes these assumptio…
Young Refugees Talk About Well‐being: A Qualitative Analysis of Refugee Youth Mental Health From Three States
Young people from refugee backgrounds face enormous challenges in the settlement process within Australia. They must locate themselves within a new social, cultural, geographic and adult space, yet also try to find security within the spaces of their own families and ethnic communities. Traumas of the past can mix with painful experiences of the present. The stressors in the lives of these young people can be both complex and diverse. This paper …
The New Ethnic Politics of Welfare: Struggles Over Legal Immigrants' Rights to Welfare in California
This paper examines how contemporary welfare politics is shaped by race and ethnicity through a case study of the campaign to restore legal immigrants' rights to welfare in California. In response to the recent resurgence of nativism, mainly directed towards immigrants of color, the federal government restricted legal immigrants' rights to welfare in 1996. These cutbacks were highly contested, however, especially in California. There, a vibrant m…
