Finding Ourselves Through the Clutter: An Arts-Based Engagement Ethnography With Newcomer Youth in Canada (Master's thesis, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada). Retrieved from https://prism.ucalgary.ca.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/114486This manuscript-based thesis explores the phenomenon of school integration among newcomer youth in Calgary, Canada and their experiences around identity negotiation. I first examine andreflect on data analysis and trustworthiness in arts-based engagement ethnography (ABEE; manuscript one), an innovative research method that allows for alternate points of entry whenworking with certain hard-to-reach groups. In this manuscript, I propose a three-stage process of data analysis, using a social justice framework: pre-analysis, analysis, and integration. Then,using ABEE and a social justice framework, I explore newcomer youths’ unique experiences with school integration and identity negotiation, implementing the three-stage process of dataanalysis (manuscript two). The research suggests that through school integration, newcomer youth use two structures when negotiating identity: self and relational. These findings haveimplications for practice, training, policy, and future research.enUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
