The analysis illustrates and demonstrates a number of important points concerning the vestigial influen…

This article explores the complexiti…

Bridging Multiple Worlds: How African American and Latino Youth in Academic Outreach Programs Navigate Math Pathways to College
Universities have launched outreach programs to enhance their ethnic diversity, yet little developmental research examines students' pathways to college. This study compares capital models (highlighting family background) with challenge models (highlighting students' challenges and resources) in predicting pathways to college. The Bridging Multiple Worlds Model frames this longitudinal study of 120 African American and Latino youth in outreach pr…

The Yao Jua Relationship: Patterns of Affinal Alliance and Residence among the Hmong of Northern Thailand
Hmong kinship terminology includes many affinal relationships which denote links between otherwise discrete exogamous patriclans. I suggest that the most significant of these relationships is the yao jua alliance formed between a man and his wife's father. This paper sets out the boundaries of the relationship and suggests that the yao jua is a key factor in an explanation of the particular response of the Hmong to a situation of resource scarcit…
