Late nights are the norm these days. Work and studying. Yesterday we spent another Sunday at the office downtown, in a conference room (above is the sunset view from our window). Whereas better work happens with writing when I wake up early, orals studying goes well late into the night. Am not a huge fan of staying up late but I’ll take the productive time where I can get it!

Questions I’m thinking about as I study:

  • Who’s the reference group in studying immigrant children (their parents? their peers?)
  • If studies were replicated exactly across 3 countries, would they find similar things in terms of immigrant experiences?
  • How to think of top-down vs. bottom-up policy in the context of language policy in schools?
  • How do cities vs. countries operate as sites of integration?
