Exploring how young Iranian immigrant women navigate their cultural differences of home and school in Vancouver
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research addresses the gap in the literature on how first-generation young Iranian immigrant women conciliate differences in their identity between home and school. It captures the narratives of 6 Iranian immigrant women living in Vancouver, British Columbia; the women are between the ages of 18 and 24. Based upon semi-structured interviews and using a qualitative approach and narrative inquiry, the study explores how these young women negotiate their own space despite different cultural demands from school and family. The main research question asks: How do young Iranian immigrant women navigate the differences between school culture and home culture? The data is approached and analysed by drawing on the transnational feminist theoretical framework. Focusing on the themes of education and school experience, family relations, and intimate relations, the research looks at the ways in which these women, especially those facing multiple oppressions of gender, class, sexuality, and race, mediate the different expectations of parents, school, and mainstream Canadian culture. Key words: Iranian immigrants, young Iranian immigrant women, transnational feminism, identity, first-generation racialized women

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
