“…There are various examples in the literature on validating curricula and pedagogies that were conducted in community college settings. First, Carales and López (2020) advocated for Ethnic Studies programs in community colleges to provide curricular experiences to Latina/o/x students that reflect their identities. Doran’s (2022) analysis of Chicana/o/x Studies programs in community colleges showed that many HSCCs, particularly in the Southwest, already offer these classes but that their presence and campus impact has been understudied.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to synthesize the literature around Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), community colleges, and Latina/o/x community college students to propose practices specifically for community colleges that are officially designated HSIs or want to be more Latinx-serving. Argument: Utilizing the conceptual framework for servingness in HSIs by Garcia et al., this essay makes the case for ways that Latinx-serving, research-based practices can be implemented in Hispanic-serving community colleges. Conclusions: As more 2-year colleges reach the threshold for the HSI designation, they may look for ways to implement policies and practices that boost the access and attainment of Latina/o/x students and enhance practices that may benefit students from other minoritized groups as well.

“…The reach of Yosso’s framework is evidenced by a simple Google Scholar search, which yields over two million results and over 6,000 direct citations. Scholars applying Yosso’s frame expressly advance “asset-based” approaches to the study of Students of Color (e.g., Carales & López, 2020; Del Real Viramontes, 2020; Sáenz et al, 2017).…”

Bourdieu’s critical analysis of capital (BCAC) is a useful tool for unmasking how schools legitimate class structure and identifying the institutional, societal, and cultural forces that structure class reproduction and oppression. In this paper, we examine the ways educational researchers have constrained the critical application of Bourdieu’s concepts. We highlight the utility of BCAC for exposing the symbolic violence that educational systems enact upon students and families who are unfamiliar with the “culture of power.” Our purpose is to engage in a revitalized critique against the reproduction of educational inequalities and explicate how BCAC is useful toward these ends.

“…HSI Latinx students are likely to recommend these institutions to peers in their community (Núñez et al, 2011). Proximity to home and family is another reason that many Latinx students enroll in local community colleges or public universities (Carales & López, 2020; Contreras & Contreras, 2015); students who place a high value on staying close to home are more likely to attend an HSI or emerging HSI (Cuellar, 2012), which tends to be located where large numbers of Latinx live (Dayton et al, 2004). Latinas may experience pressure from family to stay close to home to fulfill familial roles, such as caring for younger siblings or helping with other household responsibilities (Gloria & Castellanos, 2012).…”

“…However, it is also important to consider the agency that Latinas hold by enrolling in HSIs close to home. Carales and López (2020) argue that staying close to home for college should not be viewed from a deficit perspective as it is sometimes; instead, attention should be paid to the supportive role that family and community play for many Latinx college students (Kiyama & Rios-Aguilar, 2017; Matos, 2015).…”

The Uncertain Path Toward College: How Intersectionality Shaped the Experiences of Latinas Enrolled at a Hispanic-Serving Institution

This is a longitudinal qualitative study of Latina college students who were members of a Latina mentoring program at a 4-year Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) in Texas, where they made up the largest student population since 2013. Guided by Chicana feminist epistemology and intersectionality, we discuss educational experiences students had during high school as they considered their college path, when enrolling in an HSI, and during college. We explore the following research question: How did intersectional experiences shape the educational trajectory of Latina undergraduates enrolled at an HSI? We identify how multiple forms of oppression and social identities shaped the high school experiences of Latinas and learned how they found belonging at an HSI by finding spaces and individuals who validated their intersectionality. Through this study, we demonstrate why Latina student intersectionality—not only while in college but prior to enrolling as well—is important for researchers and educational leaders to consider.
