Abstract: | This project utilizes methods of grounded theory to explore and make sense of the learning and identity processes associated with two unaccompanied youths' freight- hopping practices. The purpose of this poster is to advance the notion of compulsory learning to describe the process through which freight-hoppers recover or expand a sense of agency through deliberate shifts in identity, meaning making, participation, tool use, and problem solving that are themselves birthed in forced survival. I contextualize this argument by discussing the aims and dimensions of compulsory learning that frame the pragmatics of constructing agency. |
