(Re)thinking gender identities in transnational contexts: 1.5 generation discourses about high-school influences

Abstract

[Abstract] Over the last decades, identities, due to their multidimensional and polisemic nature, have emerged as one of the main issues in transnational studies. And the concrete and sistematic reflexions about gender identities have undoubtedly contibuted to a greater understanding of complex social interralations that arise from fuzzy ties between migrants and their countries of origin and settlement. This paper explores the discourses of Brazil, Colombia and Morocco-born secondary school students in Galicia (Spain). The present proposal highlights the voices of a group of teenagers to examine their perception about the impact of education on their own processes of gendered identity construction. Besides, these narratives will be figured out at the same time as those from their parents.
