Jason K. Wallace, Jesse R. Ford · 4 May 2021

Research on first-generation doctoral students and Black doctoral students have largely remained separate despite the significant overlap in the two populations.

What Institutions Can Learn From the Navigational Capital of Minoritized Students

Rebecca Covarrubias, Giselle Laiduc, Ibette Valle · 2 Jan 2022

Minoritized students — low-income, first-generation students of color — leverage skills when navigating higher education.

As such, this study was conducted to deepen understanding of first-generation college students’ lived experiences in relation to their well-being. This work shares findings from an interpretive, constructivist qualitative study grounded…

Krista M. Soria, Christine Kelling, Melissa Mossinghoff et al. · 4 May 2022
