Moving from the Periphery
The influential role of familía remains a crucial aspect to understand Latinxs’ success in postsecondary schooling. Rather than relying on a deficit lens, this study employs an asset-based lens to gain insight into the paternal influence that assists Latinas’ persistence to degree attainment in engineering. More specifically, this study examines the crucial role that fathers play in the familía as it pertains to Latina persistence in engineering …
Culture empowers
One’s culture has the capacity to nurture and empower. Thereby, college students rely on their cultural capital to persist and graduate. However, the current system of higher education favors one type of culture over others, which presents a number of challenges for those who are members of the non-dominant groups, such as Latinxs, first-generation students, and student-athletes. As such, this study sought to explore the interplay of various form…
Latino Males in Higher Education, Experiences Affecting Retention
As the Latino population continues to grow in the United States, it is important for Latino youth, and specifically, Latino males, to obtain a college degree. As other demographic groups graduate from colleges and universities across the country, Latino males continue to lag behind their non-Latino peers in obtaining their college degrees. Specifically, this study discusses the challenges that Latino males face during their first year in college
From the inside looking out
STEM disciplines remain highly White and male-dominated, particularly in regards to engineering. The climate, as a result, for women of color in engineering remains to be ‘bitter’ cold due to their intersectionality. A case study was employed to understand how 11 Latinas experience their intersectionality within a STEM context in their pursuit of an undergraduate engineering degree. Findings suggest that engineering departments must increase the …
Latina college students’ experiences in STEM at Hispanic-Serving Institutions
In the last 20 years, Latina undergraduate college students have increased their enrollment and degree attainment. However, in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines Latinas remain highly underrepresented. The study aims to gain more insight into the roles that peers, faculty, and family play in Latina students' persistence in STEM fields at two selected Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). Using Latino Critical Rac…
Critical qualitative research as a means to advocate for Latinas in STEM
The current administration of the United States has brought to the forefront the hostile sociopolitical climate found within this diverse country as Americans continue to grapple with the intentional, residual effects of the systemic maintenance of oppression. The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions of climate in the persistence of Latinas pursuing an undergraduate engineering degree. More specifically, this empirical study uti…
Numbers don’t lie
Purpose Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), like other universities, are faced with challenges related to faculty diversity. The literature related to faculty at HSIs is scant and so this paper aims to address this gap by problematizing faculty diversity at these institutions. Design/methodology/approach By means of a document analysis, the authors have scoured the data on faculty demographics at these institutions and the findings of the study…
Cultivating science identity through sources of self-efficacy
Purpose In an attempt to understand the postsecondary and occupational pathways of minorities who choose to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) pathways, what this paper offers is an examination of literature that focuses on identity. More specifically, this paper aims to present a research argument that highlights the importance of self-efficacy as it relates to the creation of a science identity for minority students.…
Birds of a Feather Do Not Always Flock Together
While an abundance of literature addresses undergraduate students’ lack of success in engineering programs, fewer studies examine the persistence of minority females, especially of Latinas. This study employed a qualitative method of inquiry to gain insight into the reasons why Latina undergraduate engineering majors sought membership in student organizations. Data analysis emerged the following findings: (a) fulfilling academic and social needs,…
