Affective experiences and expressions in institutional context
The 22,500 Indigenous students attending an Indian boarding school sacrifice living with family to essentially grow up in an institutional setting, in part to receive free education but also because they believe in the school’s promise of a bright future.

Living in the present while imagining the future
This article builds on Allison James and Alan Prout’s call to focus more on theorizing the social construction of time in childhood and explores how school, as an organization and an experience, influences students’ conceptions of childhood and experiences of being a child.

Some people encourage refugees to work immediately, taking any available job, while others counsel refugees to enroll in job training immediately in hopes of starting with a better job. The paper describes the occupational adaptation o…

Occupational Assimilation of Refugees
This article presents a model explaining how refugee communities help their members accept downward occupational mobility usually associated with refugee resettlement.
