Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latina/o College Student Leadership: Emerging Theory, Promising Practice examines Latina/o college student leadership and leadership development in higher education. This edited collection examines emerging frameworks, empirical research, leadership models, essays, and promising practices from the perspectives of scholars, educators, practitioners, and activists. Latina/o student leadership is analyzed through the lens of various institutional contexts (e.g. large research institution, community college, Hispanic-serving institution) as well as diverse intra-institutional contexts (e.g. academic, student organizations, student government, fraternities and sororities). The focus on theory and practice within various contexts, combined with an emphasis on student voice, helps provide deeper insight into how Latina/o students experience leadership in higher education, as well as how to promote and support the leadership development of Latina/o college students.
Download or read book The Magic Key written by Ruth Enid Zambrana and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Americans comprise the largest subgroup of Latina/os, and their path to education can be a difficult one. Yet just as this group is often marginalized, so are their stories, and relatively few studies have chronicled the educational trajectory of Mexican American men and women. In this interdisciplinary collection, editors Zambrana and Hurtado have brought together research studies that reveal new ways to understand how and why members of this subgroup have succeeded and how the facilitators of success in higher education have changed or remained the same. The Magic Key’s four sections explain the context of Mexican American higher education issues, provide conceptual understandings, explore contemporary college experiences, and offer implications for educational policy and future practices. Using historical and contemporary data as well as new conceptual apparatuses, the authors in this collection create a comparative, nuanced approach that brings Mexican Americans’ lived experiences into the dominant discourse of social science and education. This diverse set of studies presents both quantitative and qualitative data by gender to examine trends of generations of Mexican American college students, provides information on perceptions of welcoming university climates, and proffers insights on emergent issues in the field of higher education for this population. Professors and students across disciplines will find this volume indispensable for its insights on the Mexican American educational experience, both past and present.

Download or read book Resistance and Abolition in the Borderlands written by Arturo J. Aldama and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a long history of state violence toward immigrants in the United States, the essayists in this interdisciplinary collection tackle head-on the impacts of the Trump administration. This volume provides a well-argued look at the Trump era. Insightful contributions delve into the impact of Donald Trump’s rhetoric and policies on migrants detained and returned, immigrant children separated from their parents and placed in detention centers, and migrant women subjected to sexual and reproductive abuses, among other timely topics. The chapter authors document a long list in what the book calls “Trump’s Reign of Terror.” Organized thematically, the book has four sections: The first gathers histories about the Trump years’ roots in a longer history of anti-migration; the second includes essays on artistic and activist responses on the border during the Trump years; the third critiques the normalization of Trump’s rhetoric and actions in popular media and culture; and the fourth envisions the future. Resistance and Abolition in the Borderlands is an essential reader for those wishing to understand the extent of the damage caused by the Trump era and its impact on Latinx people.

Download or read book Graduate Students Becoming Qualitative Researchers written by Char Ullman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through conducting an ethnographic study about doctoral students from traditionally underrepresented groups who are learning to conduct ethnographic research, this volume offers unique insight into the challenges and experiences through which these students develop their skills and identities as qualitative researchers. Foregrounding the stories and perspectives of students from minority backgrounds including Latinx, Black, differently abled, and queer students, Graduate Students Becoming Qualitative Researchers identifies how the process of learning to conduct ethnographic research underpins doctoral students’ success, confidence, and persistence in the academy. Chapters follow students during a one-year ethnographic research course during which they learn about ethnography, and also conduct observations, write field notes, interview participants, and gather artifacts. Offering important pedagogical insights into how ethnography and academic writing are communicated, the text also tackles questions of access and diversity within scholarship and highlights barriers to first-generation and minoritized students' success, including impostor syndrome, stereotype vulnerability, and access to time, knowledge, and capital. This volume will prove valuable to doctoral students, postgraduate researchers, scholars, and educators conducting qualitative research across the fields of education and rhetoric, as well as the humanities and social sciences. It will also appeal to those interested in multiculturalism and diversity within the education sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examines the gendered and racialized educational experiences of eight nontraditional, adult English learners (EL), Latin American, and immigrant women. The study focuses on those that after migrating as in adults age to the United States, have eventually continued their higher educational attainment, disrupting the conventional narratives about adult immigrants and their lack of aspirations in higher education attainment. Such experiences have been largely excluded from U.S academic literature, as they are a minority within a minority. Nontraditional, adult EL, Latin American, immigrant students entering the United States higher education system are navigating college access in a system new to them as their access path is very different from international students or Latinx peers who attended the K-12 education system. Factors such as age, the digital divide, and typically being monolingual for the first 20-30 years of their lives increase exponentially, often becoming the first barriers on their path to higher education. They are navigating a new education system while facing immigration challenges such as family and financial responsibilities in their country of origin and receptor country. The data collected from eight qualitative testimonio interviews sought to capture information about their access path to higher education and the path access that they followed, the gendered and racialized experiences and their impact on the participants' education, and lastly, to identify how the participants successfully navigated the United States higher education system at the undergraduate and graduate level as they were either recently graduated or currently enrolled in universities and community colleges. The study was intentional in utilizing testimonio as a method of research, a qualitative approach that gave participants a space to share their individual experiences and to collectively reclaim their invisibilized academic journeys as they resonated with one another. Conceptualized through a Latino Critical Race Theory and intersectionality lens framework provided an interdisciplinary perspective to examine how identity markers such as race, class, gender, national origin, phenotype, etc., and complex structures of oppression such as institutionalized racism and white privilege impacted the educational experiences of nontraditional, adult EL, Latin American immigrant, women. Migration studies theory illuminated allowed me to better understand the different contexts for migration from countries in Latin America, and finally, grounded in Chicana feminism allowed me to center the women's experiences and draw from their experiences as a source of knowledge (Delgado Bernal, 1998). The study provides recommendations for universities administrative & faculty personal in practice & policy, advocating for different ways to positively create educational access for nontraditional, adult English learner students. To perform a thorough analysis of their journeys, the following questions guided the study: a) What were the educational paths that adult Latin American immigrant women followed to access and succeed in the U.S higher education system? b) How do their testimonios reveal the gendered and racialized journey to college attainment? And c) How can an intersectional discussion of their academic journey depict the privileges and barriers that came into place for immigrant Latin American women to defy spaces where they have only been seen as laborers? These questions were informed by my own journey as an adult immigrant woman from Mexico who grew up monolingual and acquired English as a second language to enroll and obtain a college education in the U.S. I am also informed by the minimal literature on the subject and the historical context of the practices of exclusion from higher education institutions and how those continue to affect the experiences of underrepresented students in the United States (Long 2016). My testimonio, joined by eight others of nontraditional adult English learners, Latin American immigrant women, are critically analyzed to shine a light on the intersectional journeys of accessing and surviving in the U.S. higher education system, a system. that, according to the data produced in this study, severely ignores this small but growing population of adult English learners seeking access to postsecondary education (National Center for Education Statistics, 2017).

Book excerpt: "This handbook is organized by various themes with the study of U.S. Latina/x/o Christianities. Keeping in mind that the Oxford Handbooks are geared toward graduate students and professors, the organization and layout of this handbook provides a thorough examination of interlocking themes within the academic study of Latina/x/o Christian histories, sociologies, and anthropologies. These essays, taken individually and collectively, pay attention to both the diachronic (over time, historical) as well as the synchronic (contemporary). Moreover, the essays cover the major U.S. Latina/x/o ethnic groups as well as major Christian denominations and movements. Finally, essays in the handbook attend to important intersectional realities that include empire, migration, diaspora, hybridities, borderlands, and gender"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ethnographic examination of Mexican-American and white girls coming of age in California’s Central Valley, Julie Bettie turns class theory on its head, asking what cultural gestures are involved in the performance of class, and how class subjectivity is constructed in relationship to color, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. A new introduction contextualizes the book for the contemporary moment and situates it within current directions in cultural theory. Investigating the cultural politics of how inequalities are both reproduced and challenged, Bettie examines the discursive formations that provide a context for the complex identity performances of contemporary girls. The book’s title refers at once to young working-class women who have little cultural capital to enable class mobility; to the fact that analyses of class too often remain insufficiently transformed by feminist, ethnic, and queer studies; and to the failure of some feminist theory itself to theorize women as class subjects. Women without Class makes a case for analytical and political attention to class, but not at the expense of attention to other social formations.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical research that examines the lived experiences of first-generation Mexican American women growing up in America, is a topic that is minimally discussed. As a professional Latina woman working in the field of clinical psychology, I became increasingly aware of this unspoken phenomenon through my interactions with other Latinas in a professional, academic, and clinical capacity. This inspired me to conduct an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study to explore the lived experience of first generation Mexican American women living in America, and outside of the traditional Latino cultural norm and gender role of marianismo. This qualitative study sought to bring healing, cultural, and clinical awareness to the emotional challenges that many first-generation Latinas face when attempting to navigate and balance life between two cultures. Participants included five first-generation self identified Latina women between the ages of 24 and 33 with college degrees and who are of Mexican descent. Data collection was conducted via semi-structured interviews. The findings of this study include superordinate themes identified throughout the analysis. This study amplified the struggles that first-generation Mexican American women are faced with living outside the cultural norm while adjusting to life between two cultures. The data collected serves as a valuable tool for understanding and providing clinical treatment to Latina women.
