It also explores the role that ethnographers play in retelling the…

Using an ethnographic approach, this paper presents an exploration of how students at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST), a post-secondary vocational college in Malta, f…

The analysis combines grounded theory and discourse analysis to explore how language served to frame these young people's ideas of themselve…
