The United States continues to accept the most refugees for resettlement. The transitional period is a time of great change and challenge as newcomers learn to navigate a new country, community, and way of life. A number of organizations offer educational support services to aid in this transitional period. It is important that the service providers understand the unique cultural context in which the refugees are situated. The research on adult learning does not adequately cover the impact of cultural context on the learning process. Furthermore, as part of a diasporic community, newcomers are navigating a new life, part of which involves the negotiation of their cultural identity. The goal of this project was to explore the experiences of refugee learners, specifically focusing on the role of adult learning in the negotiation of cultural identity in the diaspora.

520 $a The United States continues to accept the most refugees for resettlement. The transitional period is a time of great change and challenge as newcomers learn to navigate a new country, community, and way of life. A number of organizations offer educational support services to aid in this transitional period. It is important that the service providers understand the unique cultural context in which the refugees are situated. The research on adult learning does not adequately cover the impact of cultural context on the learning process. Furthermore, as part of a diasporic community, newcomers are navigating a new life, part of which involves the negotiation of their cultural identity. The goal of this project was to explore the experiences of refugee learners, specifically focusing on the role of adult learning in the negotiation of cultural identity in the diaspora.
520 $a Feminist methodologies guided the research process. Observations and interviews were conducted with five Burmese refugee women participating in a business development program in the Midwest United States. There were three areas of findings: phases of adjustment, learning, and negotiating roles and identities. The data revealed that the women experienced phases of adjustment that aligned with Hunt's (1999) work on refugee resettlement. These phases of adjustment followed two paths. One the first path, learning was important and contributed to feelings of self-pride, confidence, and a willingness to experiment with the new role of business owner. The women on the second path had significant negative experiences after resettling in the United States. Their level of participation and ownership in the program was low. All of the women described their role as mother. The younger women also strongly identified with the role of daughter. All of the women are maintaining aspects of their cultural identity, such as religion and language, and have made the choice to live within the Burmese diaspora.
520 $a In addition to the findings, the research process yielded great lessons on employing feminist methodologies, specifically with research conducted on subaltern women from a Western perspective.
