‘I’m a foreign teacher’: legitimate positionings in the stories of a migrant teacher

2022

This qualitative study examines one migrant teacher’s identity positions in the context of a peer mentoring group setting in Finland. Combining theories of legitimacy and teacher narratives, this study asked which positions were available and legitimate for a migrant teacher. The analysis of three of the stories the teacher (‘Ji Yoo’) shared was inspired by Barkhuizen’s three-step framework for examining positioning in teacher narratives. Findings showed that Ji Yoo’s most legitimate positions were being ‘foreign’, novice teacher, cultural broker, and expert teacher, the latter two being the least frequent and least explicit ones. The authors suggest that migrant teachers’ struggles of havi…

Kjønn og religiøse grenser: Unge muslimer og kristnes forhandlinger av kjønn i migrantmenigheter

2019

Artikkelen belyser unge muslimer og kristnes forhandling av kjønn i migrantmenigheter: 1) Hvordan forhandler unge muslimer og kristne forventningene knyttet til kjønn, forbundet med religiøse klesdrakter og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver? Og 2), hva kan ungdommenes oppfatninger av religiøse koder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver fortelle om symbolsk grensedragning mellom deres tilhørighet til en minoritetsgruppe og tilhørighet til majoritetssamfunnet? Data består av 23 kvalitative intervjuer med tenåringer og unge voksne i alderen 16–35 år. Ungdommene forhandlet stadig kleskoder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver ut fra ulike religiøse, moralske og kulturelle forventninger. De skilte mellom religion…

Heading identity: a question among italian postwar immigrants in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentine

2015

Este trabajo analiza, a partir de los testimonios personales ofrecidos por un grupo de inmigrantes de la posguerra, el significado que estos sujetos históricos le han dado y le dan al concepto de identidad. En tal sentido, se ha buscado rastrear a través de entrevistas orales, cuál es el sentimiento de los inmigrantes con respecto a su identidad: se sienten ¿inmigrantes? ¿Extranjeros?, ¿Argentinos? Se parte de la idea de identidad como una construcción en la que es necesario comprender no sólo en su relación con el otro sino también como una alteridad propia. Por lo tanto, la identidad de muchos inmigrantes podría caracterizarse como una “identidad partida”, es decir, dividida en dos, entre…

Informal conversations in a community health program: process evaluation

2013

Objetivo: Evaluar la calidad del proceso de las conversaciones informales (CI) con perspectiva de género, realizadas por dos agentes de salud, una mujer y un hombre de origen latinoamericano, en un programa dirigido a población inmigrante. Diseño: Se utiliza triangulación de técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas con perspectiva de género. Método: Las CI transcritas se leen y analizan por tres investigadores, cuantificando variables socio-demográficas: sexo, edad y país de origen y seleccionando segmentos textuales que se agrupan en categorías. El análisis cualitativo se basa en la teoría fundamentada (grounded theory). Resultados: 165 (CI), el 53 % son con mujeres; fundamentalmente de Ecuad…

De lenguas y horizontes. Europa vista por sus escritores inmigrantes de cultura islámica

2010

Este artículo argumenta que los temas postcoloniales y transnacionales tratados por los escritores inmigrantes de cultura islámica son más significativos que las lenguas europeas que eligen como vehículos de creación. Su “translingüedad” viene dada por su condición de inmigrantes de segunda generación o por su elección de una audiencia europea y su identificación con la lengua del país de acogida. Los temas que tratan en sus obras, sin embargo, reflejan una Europa única. Una Europa que atrapa a los inmigrantes musulmanes en sus orígenes y les limita su potencial humano porque no los reconoce como europeos. Un rechazo que lleva a los musulmanes a establecer comunidades cerradas en las que lo…

Do large‐scale associations in birds imply biotic interactions or environmental filtering?

2023

Aim There has been a wide interest in the effect of biotic interactions on species' occurrences and abundances at large spatial scales, coupled with a vast development of the statistical methods to study them. Still, evidence for whether the effects of within-trophic-level biotic interactions (e.g. competition and heterospecific attraction) are discernible beyond local scales remains inconsistent. Here, we present a novel hypothesis-testing framework based on joint dynamic species distribution models and functional trait similarity to dissect between environmental filtering and biotic interactions. Location France and Finland. Taxon Birds. Methods We estimated species-to-species association…

MATERIAL DEPRIVATION AMONG FOREIGNERS IN ITALY

2014

In all European countries, migrant populations tend to have worse living conditions than native; this is particularly true for those born outside the EU. This paper proposes a new way to look at the relative living conditions of foreigners by looking at non-monetary (or ‘direct’) indicators of material deprivation in Italy-a country characterized by the presence of a wide range of nationalities. To examine differences in economic integration of foreigners, the paper documents deprivation differentials across groups of foreigners. In particular, we measure differences in material deprivation between groups of foreigners once we control for the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of…

Whole class interaction in the adult L2-classroom : The case of Swedish for immigrants

2019

This article focuses on verbal interaction in whole class teaching in second language education for adults in Sweden. The article draws on theories treating language as multiple resources that are situated and embedded in material life, and including complex and diverse linguistic, semiotic, physical material and social resources. The material for the article was created in a project based in linguistic ethnography in the form of an action research project, including two municipal Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools. The interaction patterns that occurred challenged students’ language proficiency in ways that stimulated meaning negotiation through what we call extended interactions. This s…
