This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $219,787 to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) to investigate the effects of child/adult dichotomies in legal frameworks on young migrants. The project uses participant observation and ethnographic interviews to explore how social and legal understandings of childhood and adulthood shape the experiences of migrant youth as they arrive and settle in local communities. The research aims to uncover tensions and contradictions that emerge as these generational categories intersect with the social processes of youth migration. This 3-year project period runs from June 2024 through May 2027. No subawards are planned under this grant.
