Mary Amanda Stewart is conferred the 2013 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award for her enterprising and timely work in the field of education research. Stewart's dissertation highlights the ways in which Latino and Latina immigrant youth who are newly arrived to the U.S. possess many skills, including managing transnational relationships through technology and adapting to bilingual work settings. Stewart suggests that public schools do more to tap and develop the global skills of these young adults, and warns that failure to do so jeopardizes their futures as well as the future of the U.S. (Contains 1 figure.)
