Cultural Identity in Everyday Interactions at Work: Highly Skilled Female Russian Professionals in Finland

2013

The dominant research strands into social interaction in culturally diverse workplaces have focused on issues of organizational efficiency and discrimination, and they have treated cultural identity as static, monolithic, and universally shared. This study aims to problematize this view. It is argued that our understanding of cultural workplace diversity could be extended through the integration of interpretive and critical interpersonal communication theorizing on cultural identity as dynamic and processual, constructed between and among people in everyday workplace interactions and in relation to larger social, political, and historical forces. This argument is illustrated by an analysis …

El consumo de drogas en los adolescentes inmigrantes: implicaciones para la prevención

2009

El fuerte crecimiento de la inmigración está cambiando la confi guración de la sociedad española en un modo muy notable. El número de alumnos extranjeros en los centros educativos ha ido aumentando de forma continuada en la última década. Esa nueva realidad determina que toda una serie de conocimientos, relativamente bien establecidos sobre el consumo de drogas de los adolescentes, deban ser revisados para establecer pautas adecuadas para el desarrollo de programas de prevención adaptados a esta nueva realidad. En este trabajo, utilizando una muestra de 2.260 estudiantes de 1er y 2º ciclo de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (E.S.O.), se analizan los patrones de consumo de los adolescentes i…

Pathways to higher education for first and second generation immigrants in France, Switzerland and Canada: how educational tracks and aspirations mat…

2014

Despite their different histories as countries of immigration, Switzerland, France and Canada all have a sizeable immigrant population, some of which do experience obstacles in their educational and professional careers. However, both access rates of immigrant students as well as institutional routes to higher education vary remarkably between the three countries. On the one hand, France and Switzerland offer both academic and vocational routes to higher education, whereas academic routes prevail in Canada. On the other hand, immigrant students are underrepresented in Swiss and French higher education, while they generally seem to be much more successful in Canada. In this paper we wish to …

Capital humain et compétences de base des adultes : production et valorisation

2013

Basic skills are important in current policies because of high costs generated by illiteracy and supported by the society. The aim of the present thesis is to bring a new contribution on this thematic in a microeconomic approach. It consists of two parts. The first one concerns the valorization of basic skills on the labor market, through chapters 1 and 2, while the second one concerns the production of French skills according to the migratory origins, through chapters 3 and 4. Chapter 1 is about the returns to basic skills on the labor market, in terms of overeducation/undereducation and in terms of wages. The central hypothesis is to assume that education, through the diploma, is not a go…

2023

Moving from one country to another involves not only separation from the country of origin, but also the tiring process of integration into a new physical, institutional, and sociocultural context, which may expose migrants to acculturation stress. The loss of former support networks, or at the very least their transformation, presents immigrants with the need to rebuild their social support systems in the host country, involving an active search for support. Therefore, the aim of study is to analyze the structure of informal social support and its capacity to predict immigrants’ sense of community, resilience, and satisfaction with life. The results confirm that social support predicts sat…
