  • Latina Faculty at a Catholic Hispanic-Serving Institution

    Open AccessMarialexia Zaragoza, Gina A GarciaARTICLEThe Journal of Higher Education2023Cited by: 1References: 42

    Studies have shown that Latina faculty have negative racialized and gendered experiences while teaching at their institutions. An emerging body of research shows that these experiences also occur at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Latina faculty at one small, private, four-year Catholic HSI (C-HSI) that was trying to make sense of its C-HSI identity. Using a counter-storytelling ap…

  • Decolonizing Faculty Governance at Hispanic Serving Institutions

    Open AccessLeticia Villarreal Sosa, Gina A Garcia et al.ARTICLEJournal of Hispanic Higher…2022Cited by: 2References: 9

    While there has been an emphasis within the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) literature on decentralizing university governance to allow for antiracist decision-making, there has been less focus on the lack of inclusive representation within faculty governance, particularly for historically excluded groups. Guided by testimonio as methodology and examples from our lived experiences within one small Catholic HSI, we offered five tenets of a deco…

  • Proposing a Methodological Borderland

    Open AccessGina A Garcia, Jenesis J RamirezARTICLEJournal of Mixed Methods Research2021Cited by: 1References: 18

    In this article, we propose a “methodological borderland,” defined as a methodological space in constant transition; one that allows researchers to combine multiple methods, data points, and theories, guided by a desire for social justice for studied populations. In doing so, we urge mixed methods researchers to access theoretical frameworks that are grounded in the ways of knowing of participants and that promote critical analysis and interpreta…

  • Toward a Multidimensional Conceptual Framework for Understanding “Servingness” in Hispanic-Serving Institutions

    Open AccessGina A Garcia, Ana María Núñez et al.ARTICLEReview of Educational Research2019

    Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are colleges and universities that enroll at least 25% Latinx students. Despite being recognized by the federal government since 1992, HSIs lack a historical mission to serve Latinxs. As such the idea of “servingness” has become an elusive concept. An abundance of literature centering HSIs has been published, yet there continues to be a debate about what it means to serve students. We conducted a systematic re…

  • Descriptive Analysis of Graduate Enrollment Trends at Hispanic-Serving Institutions

    Open AccessGina A Garcia, Alberto Guzman-AlvarezARTICLEJournal of Hispanic Higher…2019Cited by: 1References: 1

    Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are postsecondary institutions that enroll 25% Latinx undergraduate students, with little emphasis on graduate enrollment. Graduate enrollment was explored at HSIs, looking at trends over 10 years. Descriptive analyses and data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) were used, shedding light on enrollment inequities between Latinx undergraduate and graduate students. This study has imp…

  • Mothers’ influences on Latino collegians

    Research suggests that the role of parents is essential to the educational trajectories of Latinx college students, including their access to and graduation from postsecondary education. In this study we use Latino male collegians’ narratives to examine how Latina mothers influence their sons’ educational trajectories. Twenty-four Latinos from four universities participated in a three-step interview process. Secondary data analysis led to the eme…

    Despite popular claims that the United States has reached a “post-racial” era—one in which race no longer matters for determining one’s life chances—college students continue to have strong views toward whether or not racial discrimination is still a major problem in this country. Utilizing multilevel modeling on data merged from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program’s (CIRP) 2005 Freshman Survey (TFS) and 2009 College Senior Survey (CSS…

  • Exploring College Students’ Identification with an Organizational Identity for Serving Latinx Students at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and an Emerging HSI

    Gina A Garcia, Brighid DwyerARTICLEAmerican Journal of Education2018Cited by: 6References: 32

    Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs; postsecondary institutions that enroll 25% or more Latinx students) are increasing in significance. But to what extent do students attending an HSI, or an emerging HSI (enrolls 15%–24% Latinx students), identify with an organizational identity for serving Latinx students? There is a need to understand how members identify with an organizational identity because it affects satisfaction, sense of belonging, and …

  • Institutional Agents at a Hispanic Serving Institution

    Open AccessGina A Garcia, Jenesis J RamirezARTICLEUrban Education2018Cited by: 9References: 27

    As enrollment-driven postsecondary institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) must actively find ways to better “serve” their students. Guided by Stanton-Salazar’s social capital framework, this study sought to understand how institutional agents use various forms of capital to develop structures that support and empower minoritized students. Using data from a study of one 4-year, master’s granting HSI, we highlight how four institutional…

  • Constructing an HSI Organizational Identity at Three Hispanic-Serving Institutions in the Midwest

    As the number of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs; postsecondary institutions that enroll 25% or more Latinx students) in the United States increases annually, so does the need to theorize about what it means to have an HSI organizational identity. Using interview data from a multiple case study of three institutionally diverse HSIs in the Midwest, the purpose of this study was to apply the theoretical notions laid out in the Typology of HSI O…

    Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) should realign their organizational approach in order to liberate themselves and their students. As colonized institutions enrolling colonized people, HSIs must recognize their history of colonialism before moving toward an organizational model grounded in decolonization. The Organizational Framework for Decolonizing HSIs has nine elements and is grounded in organizational theory, yet it challenges the white n…

  • Defined by Outcomes or Culture? Constructing an Organizational Identity for Hispanic-Serving Institutions

    Open AccessGina A GarciaARTICLEAmerican Educational Research…2017Cited by: 9References: 37

    While Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) enroll at least 25% Latinx students, the perennial question facing HSIs is, “What does it mean for postsecondary institutions to be Latinx-serving”—essentially an organizational identity question. Guided by the extant literature on organizational identity, culture, and institutionalism and using an in-depth case study of a federally designated, four-year HSI, this study focused on the way members constru…

    This article challenges the notion of underachievement of Latino male collegians by examining those who successfully enter higher education. Using in-depth interviews, we analyze the way three different institutional types contribute to the racial/ethnic identity salience of Latinos, looking specifically at the curricular and co-curricular structures available at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and emerging HSI in comparison with non-HSIs.
