Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latina/o population constitutes the largest racial and ethnic minority group in the U.S. and is disproportionately under-represented in college and in graduate programs. This is the first book specifically to engage with the absence of Latinas/os in doctoral studies. It proposes educational and administrative strategies to open up the pipeline, and institutional practices to ensure access, support, models and training for Latinas/os aspiring to the Ph.D. The under-education of Latina/o youth begins early. Given that by twelfth grade half will stop out or be pushed out of high school, and only seven percent will complete a college degree, it is not surprising so few enter graduate studies. When Latina/o students do enter higher education, few attend those colleges or universities that are gateways to graduate degrees. Regardless of the type of higher education institution they attend, Latinas/os often encounter social and academic isolation, unaffordable costs, and lack of support.This historic under-representation has created a vicious cycle of limited social and economic mobility. There is a paucity of the Latina/o faculty and leaders whom research shows are essential for changing campus climate and influencing institutions to adapt to the needs of a changing student body. As a result, Latina/o graduate students often have few role models, advocates or mentors, and limited support for their research agendas.By reviewing the pipeline from kindergarten through university, this book provides the needed data and insights to effect change for policy makers, administrators, faculty, and staff; and material for reflection for aspiring Latina/o Ph.D.s on the paths they have taken and the road ahead.The book then addresses the unique experiences and challenges faced by Latina/os in doctoral programs, and offers guidance for students and those responsible for them. Chapters cover issues of gender and generational differences, the role of culture in the graduate school, mentorship, pursuing research, and professional development opportunities for Latina/os.The book closes with the voices of by Latina/o students who are currently pursuing or recently completed their doctoral degree. These narratives describe their cultural and educational journeys, providing insight into their personal and professional experiences. These stories bring alive the graduate experience for anyone interested in successful recruitment, retention, and graduation of Latina/o doctoral students – an inspiration and guidance to those aspiring to the doctorate.

Download or read book Graduate Experiences of Latino a Professionals in a Hybrid Model Doctoral Program written by Kelley Coffeen and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of progression of Latino(a)s in the academic pipeline leads to a lack of Latino(a) faculty and administrators in higher education. This limits the number of Latino(a)s that are in faculty and administrative leadership positions in higher education. Increased Latino(a) faculty and administrators are needed to engage and cultivate the Latino(a) population among students in higher education. This study examined the lived experiences of five Latino(a) working professionals who graduated from a part-time hybrid educational leadership and administration program at a land grant university along the southern border of the United States. Through phenomenological focus group interviews this study identified four success factors that supported participants to completion in the part-time, hybrid educational leadership and administration program. Additionally, the program offers implications for practice and suggestions for future research.

Download or read book Rise Up written by Veronica Flores Pecero and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the demographics of the United States continue to change, Latinas are estimated to account for a third of all women in the United States by the year 2060 (Gandara, 2015). Despite increases in enrollment, they still hold one of the lowest rates of doctoral degree attainment compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Doctoral education provides an avenue for innovative ideas and breakthroughs in a variety of fields as the core purpose of doctoral education is to generate, produce, and disseminate new knowledge (Council of Graduate Schools, 2005). Therefore, if the United States seeks to remain a world leader in education and innovation, it is essential to pay close attention to the experiences of Latinas in doctoral programs, as they provide the training grounds for needed innovation in our society. The purpose of this study was to explore the first year experiences of Latina doctoral students at predominantly White institutions. Through the use of Latino Critical Theory (LatCrit), Chicana Feminist Epistemology, and testimonios, the research explored how a) the intersection of race, ethnicity, and gender, as well as other salient identities, shaped Latinas' experiences during the first year of doctoral study, b) how Latina doctoral students utilized support networks during the first year, and c) how the first year shaped subsequent years in their doctoral program. The findings illustrated how a lack of diversity in programs and institutions resulted in various challenges, including racism, microaggressions, and other forms of biases. However, through various support networks, such as family and faculty mentors, the participants were able to use the lessons of the first year to strengthen their voice in and out of the classroom and persist through their program. Ultimately, the aim of this study was to showcase the experiences of Latina doctoral students from their own perspectives to inform future research and practice.
Download or read book Shaping Latino a Graduate School Aspirations and Expectations During Undergraduate Education written by Jessica Castellon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the severe lack of representation of Latino/a students in graduate programs, this study collected data from 190 undergraduate students at a 4-year Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). Informed by the basic principles of Symbolic Interaction, this study analyzed how sense of belonging and mattering to faculty can influence graduate school aspirations and expectations. Using a regression model controlling for gender, father's and mother's education, family income, and GPA, eight hypotheses were tested. Results revealed that Latino/a students had higher graduate school aspirations in comparison to other students. Higher sense of belonging was associated with stronger aspirations for graduate school for Latino/a students, but not for non-Latino/a students. Further, the study showed that higher faculty mattering increased graduate school aspirations for non-Latino/a students, while it did not have a statistically significant impact on Latino/a students' aspirations. Moreover, this study found that no significant variables predicted graduate school expectations. Future studies could benefit from analyzing faculty-student interactions and reevaluating constructs measuring for expectations.
Download or read book Hispanic Serving Institutions written by Anne-Marie Nunez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the increasing numbers of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and their importance in serving students who have historically been underserved in higher education, limited research has addressed the meaning of the growth of these institutions and its implications for higher education. Hispanic-Serving Institutions fills a critical gap in understanding the organizational behavior of institutions that serve large numbers of low-income, first-generation, and Latina/o students. Leading scholars on HSIs contribute chapters to this volume, exploring a wide array of topics, data sources, conceptual frameworks, and methodologies to examine HSIs’ institutional environments and organizational behavior. This cutting-edge volume explores how institutions can better serve their students and illustrates HSIs’ changing organizational dynamics, potentials, and contributions to American higher education.

Download or read book Color Line to Borderlands written by Johnnella E. Butler and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ethnic Studies . . . has drawn higher education, usually kicking and screaming, into the borderlands of scholarship, pedagogy, faculty collegiality, and institutional development," Johnnella E. Butler writes in her Introduction to this collection of lively and insightful essays. Some of the most prominent scholars in Ethnic Studies today explore varying approaches, multiple methodologies, and contrasting perspectives within the field. Essays trace the historical development of Ethnic Studies, its place in American universities and the curriculum, and new directions in contemporary scholarship. The legitimation of the field, the need for institutional support, and the changing relations between academic scholarship and community activism are also discussed. The institutional structure of Ethnic Studies continues to be affected by national, regional, and local attitudes and events, and Ronald Takaki�s essay explores the contested terrains of these culture wars. Manning Marable delves into theoretical aspects of writing about race and ethnicity, while John C. Walter surveys the influence of African American history on U.S. history textbooks. Elizabeth Cook-Lynn and Craig Howe explain why American Indian Studies does not fit into the Ethnic Studies model, and Lauro H. Flores traces the historical development of Chicano/a Studies, forged from the student and community activism of the late 1960s. Ethnic Studies is simultaneously discipline-based and interdisciplinary, self-containing and overlapping. This volume captures that dichotomy as contributors raise questions that traditional disciplines ignore. Essays include Lane Ryo Hirabayashi and Marilyn Caballero Alquizola on the gulf between postmodernism and political and institutional realities; Rhett S. Jones on the evolution of Africana Studies; and Judith Newton on the trajectories of Ethnic Studies and Women�s Studies and their relations with marginalized communities. Shirley Hune and Evelyn Hu-DeHart each make a case for the separation of Asian American Studies from Asian Studies, while Edna Acosta-Bel�n argues for a hemispheric approach to Latin American and U.S. Latino/a Studies. T. V. Reed rounds out the volume by offering through cultural studies bridges to the twenty-first century.
