Jessica Ticar
Doctoral Candidate, Educational Studies, Western University, London, Ontario
E-mail: jticar@uwo.ca

Jessica Ellen Ticar is a doctoral candidate in Critical Policy, Equity, and Leadership studies at the Faculty of Education, Western University. Jessica investigated how Filipina/o/x youth achieve a transnational sense of identity and belonging in Toronto urban high schools, given their experiences of global migration through Canada’s Live-in/Caregiver Program. This study intends to identify the social and educational needs of Filipina/o/x high school students in order to make recommendations to policy makers, educational systems, and social service agencies.

Keywords: Filipina/o/x youth; urban schools; postcolonial and transnational feminism; race; class; gender; sexuality; spirituality; religion; identity and belonging; intersectionality; agency; decolonization; critical and performance ethnography; oral history and memory; Live-in/Caregiver Program
