DESCRIPTION:Emine Fidan Elcioglu is an Associate Professor of Sociology at 
 the University of Toronto. Her research spans migration studies\, politica
 l sociology\, and racialization. She will deliver a talk as part of the So
 ciology Department's speaker series\, titled 'A Canadian Dream Delegated: 
 Parental Deskilling and the Moral Weight of Adulthood among 1.5-Generation
  Egyptian Canadians.'\n	\n	ABSTRACT: What does it mean to become an adult wh
 en traditional milestones—secure employment\, residential independence\, f
 inancial self-sufficiency—are increasingly out of reach\, and public anxie
 ty over immigration casts your very presence as a burden? Drawing on in-de
 pth interviews\, we examine how 1.5-generation Egyptian Canadians make sen
 se of the transition to adulthood in the context of their families’ migrat
 ion stories. While the deskilling of immigrant professionals is well docum
 ented\, the literature on young adults’ coming of age seldom considers the
  intersections of migration or deskilling with notions of adulthood. We sh
 ow that the emotional and symbolic toll of deskilling extends to migrants’
  children. Narratives of parental sacrifice reshape the terms of the immig
 rant bargain\, turning adulthood into a moral project defined by the imper
 ative to honor what one’s parents gave up. By centering this intergenerati
 onal moral logic\, this talk offers a new lens on how structural inequalit
 y is refracted through intimate family narratives and how migration contin
 ues to shape the meaning of adulthood long after arrival.\n
