"We Understand You Hate Us": Latinx Immigrant-Origin Adolescents' Coping with Social Exclusion.

Little research has focused on how adolescents are faring with the national context of exclusion. Growing evidence suggests that exclusionary efforts signal messages of who belongs (and who does not) in the United States. This study draws from a risk and resilience model to understand how Latinx immigrant-origin adolescents react and adapt to social exclusion.

"Everyone collaborated and came together": The civic promise (and pitfalls) of yPAR for immigrant-origin students in an era of deportation.

Objectives: In recent years, increased anti-immigrant hostility has trickled into school settings creating toxic climates for immigrant-origin (I-O) students (Rogers, , 2019, UCLA's Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access). Through youth participatory action research (yPAR), this study qualitatively examined how a class of Emerging Bilingual (EB) students aimed to promote more inclusive learning environments by designing, implementing, and evaluating a school-wide program. Here, we consider how the students experienced growth in their civic development as well as how they contended with resistances encountered during the project.

"Waking Up Every Day With the Worry": A Mixed-Methods Study of Anxiety in Undocumented Latinx College Students.

To date, little research has taken a mixed-methods strategy to consider the ways in which living "in the shadows" without recognized legal status may affect mental health. In this study, we took this approach, to examine how legal status, as well as stressors (deportation worries, financial concerns) and potentially protective factors (faculty support, peer support), affect anxiety levels of undocumented Latinx undergraduates from colleges across California. We surveyed 486 participants including both standardized measures as well as open-ended responses.
