Emergent conscientização among rural Latinx youth: Challenges and opportunities of a culturally responsive approach
This action research study examines the challenges and opportunities of implementing a culturally responsive approach to fostering Conscientização (critical consciousness) among Latinx youth based on Freirean principles. The study examined data from a critical literacy intervention, which explored the educational and social experiences of rural Latinx youth (ages 13-17), all children of immigrant farmworkers. Our research emphasized the significa…
Applying Hegelian theory to contemporary family science
Despite Hegel's thorough exploration of the interplay between politics, family dynamics, and the role of self‐consciousness in family processes, his work has been notably absent from discussions within family science and human development. This paper aims to bridge this gap by conducting a comprehensive review of Hegel's contributions, addressing historical issues, and presenting arguments for the relevance of Hegelian concepts in family research…
Understanding the Learning Experiences of Low-Income Midwest Rural Latinx Youth During Covid-19: A Culturally Responsive Approach
While research acknowledged the challenges faced by students during the COVID-19 pandemic, a critical gap existed in understanding the specific experiences of low-income Latinx youth. This study explored how these students navigated the transition to remote learning through a culturally responsive critical literacy program that incorporated their cultural backgrounds and lived experiences into the learning process. Findings from nine rural Latinx…
Language and technological inclusion among immigrant low-income Latina mothers: A feminist action research intervention
Although Latinx families comprise the largest growing population in the United States, research has not examined how the lack of social inclusion (e.g., multidimensional term comprising economic, political, and cultural dimensions, among others) influences the lives of low-income Latina mothers. Social inclusion, which is a term born as a counterpart to social exclusion, has been overlooked as an alternative construct that allows the development …
Social Exclusion and Inclusion: A Social Work Perspective
Although social exclusion and inclusion are pivotal to the discipline of social work, there is not much theoretical clarity about what it actually means and its consequences. Despite recent research, current definitions are problematic. For example, exclusion is used as a deficit view and is sometimes a synonym for poverty, marginalization, unemployment, isolation, or solitude. In addition, research often ignores inclusion as a counterpart term a…
I don’t like to ask for charity: The possibilities of social inclusion among immigrant low-income Latina mothers via feminist action research
This Feminist Action Research (FAR) examines the impact of economic and societal exclusion on low-income Latina mothers. The study, conducted in an urban community in the Northeast U.S., aimed to foster social inclusion among low-income Latina mothers via a financial intervention. Data were collected from 12 participants, and the intervention emphasized curriculum negotiation and critical thinking. Descriptions and roles of positionality are cons…
Latina faculty developing a bilingual family studies class at a newly designated Hispanic serving institution: “These Are Safe Spaces”
Given the growth of Latinx populations and the increasing significance of creating more inclusive higher education environments, it is vital to explore the importance of how Latinx bilingual faculty develop and teach transcultural content. The present research was a qualitative case study based on interviews with three Latina faculty at a newly designated Hispanic Service Institute University in the Northeast of the U.S. Via thematic analysis, fi…

Economic Stress Among Low Income Latino Adolescent Fathers: An Application of the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model
The effectiveness of a financial literacy and job-readiness curriculum for youth from low-income households
Intergenerational poverty and scarce financial resources can create and sustain detrimental behaviors and outcomes among adolescents. Efforts to increase financial literacy and job-related skills, however, can offer youth from low-income households knowledge, skills, and opportunities otherwise unavailable to them. Targeted interventions that combine financial literacy and job-readiness components may help adolescents disrupt the cycle of interge…
Beyond the Neighborhood: Defining Membership in Diverse Community Contexts
The purpose of this research is to form an overarching definition of community membership that encompasses all community contexts. Utilizing qualitative interviews with 102 members of five known community contexts (communities of action, circumstance, interest, place, and practice), the authors use cross-case analysis to explore common, transcendent themes of membership. Three takeaways emerge: first, that individuals identify with communities to…
