Abstract
This thesis explores the discursive, social and institutional positioning of newcomer students in New Brunswick schools, as unveiled by qualitative interviews with two New Brunswick teachers, one English as Additional Language tutor, and one educational support worker. Drawing from institutional ethnography, critical discourse analysis, critical pedagogy and critical multiculturalism, it argues that newcomer students and support workers are marginally positioned and makes recommendations for policy and practice.
