Culture, Immigration and Social Marginality:
An Intersectionality Perspective

In this session, I will discuss the relevance of social marginality to study how intersections of class, gender, race and ethnicity affect immigrant lives. My presentation will also focus on the role of idealized beliefs about ethnic identity in shaping immigrant family expectations and socialization practices and their impact on mental health and academic outcomes.
