Identity, diversity, and inclusion are constantly being reshaped in the face of global migration and resettlement. New research is needed that examines youth identities. In this article, we analyse Asian and Latino youth's understandings and experiences of how their cultural identity has been influenced by exclusion, inequitable access and racism on the part of their host society. We report on a qualitative study; focus groups (2) and individual …
Coastal erosion narratives in the Gulf of Mexico
This article presents a study of coastal erosion narratives by the Mexican government, scientists, and local fishers in coastal communities in the Gulf of Mexico.

They discount local processes and local explanations, as well a…

In Canada, little is known about the barriers immigrant mothers face accessing services and support for their children with developmental disabilities. In this qualitative study, 21 immigrant mothers of children with Autism, from a diverse ethno cultural background, were interviewed in Toronto, Canada. We apply House's (1981) four domains of social support to analyze findings…

Twenty-eight semi-structured and open-ended interviews were conducted with immigrant mothers in the greater…
Stressors and Barriers to Services for Immigrant Fathers Raising Children with Developmental Disabilities

Four databases (PsychINFO, PubMed, CINAHL and Sociological Abstracts) were used for the search. A tot…
