HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION OF U.S. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
BY
Kweku J. Agyeman
Background and Purpose of the Study: Healthcare access and utilization in the U.S. continue to pose serious challenges to immigrants.

Middle and Secondary Education Faculty Publications
This essay describes the importance of transnationalism in the lives of U.S. immigrant students and their families and how public school educators and researchers have neither adequately recognized nor situated this lifestyle.

The authors maintain that transnationalism remains largely undertheorized in educational research. Drawing on their experiences as researchers and teachers, the authors provide a glimpse into the lives of these ‘overlooked’ transnational students through a …
