This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latina/o/x college enrollment has steadily increased over the last few years. Nonetheless, Latina/o/x postsecondary enrollment is disproportionate to the rapidly growing Latina/o/x population in the U.S. Relatedly, systemic barriers remain in place that hinder Latina/o/x academic outcomes and post-baccalaureate graduate school participation. In response to these issues, there is an increase in scholarship in the field of higher education that addresses Latina/o/x student issues and success. While significant, most of this research has treated the study of Latina/o/xs from a perspective that views them as a monolithic group with limited attention paid to the group's heterogeneity. There is a need to problematize this practice as it erases nuances that are relevant to how educational issues are addressed in research, practice, and policy. Therefore, to best respond and support Latina/o/x students, the field must have the most nuanced information about the diversity amongst the Latina/o/x to avoid coming to harmful misunderstandings about their experiences. Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as the guiding theoretical framework, this study explores how Central American students make sense of their lived experiences separate from, yet in relation to the broader Latina/o/x population. Additionally, this study situates what is learned about Central American lived experiences more broadly in the context of the postsecondary institution where they are enrolled. Using a phenomenological qualitative research design, the data for this study were drawn from eleven testimonios collected from individual platicas with Central American undergraduate-level students enrolled at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). Data from a critical discourse and content analysis of the UCSC's web pages were utilized as a secondary data source to contextualize students' testimonios. This study challenges the majoritarian narrative that positions Central Americans solely in relation to war, trauma, and invisibility. While those are facets of the lived experiences of many, this study challenges the U.S.' imagination and perception of Central Americans by highlighting their voices and experiences as college students. Findings from this study shed light on Central Americans' unique positionalities, lived experiences, and characteristics that are often ignored but have an important role in shaping their experiences as college students. Implications from this study include the need to challenge the practice of applying a one-size-fits-all approach to Latina/o/x students and their needs. This is a major oversight in how the field should be supporting Latina/o/x student success and addressing the systemic barriers that hinder said success. Findings from this study inform how the field needs to be paying closer attention to the heterogeneity of the Latina/o/x population. While this study focused on the subgroup of Central Americans, it has implications and informs what is known about Latina/o/xs and Latina/o/x college experiences more broadly.

Book Synopsis When Grit Isn't Enough by : Linda F. Nathan
Download or read book When Grit Isn't Enough written by Linda F. Nathan and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines major myths informing American education and explores how educators can better serve students, increase college retention rates, and develop alternatives to college that don’t disadvantage students on the basis of race or income Each year, as the founding headmaster of the Boston Arts Academy (BAA), an urban high school that boasts a 94 percent college acceptance rate, Linda Nathan made a promise to the incoming freshmen: “All of you will graduate from high school and go on to college or a career.” After fourteen years at the helm, Nathan stepped down and took stock of her alumni: of those who went to college, a third dropped out. Feeling like she failed to fulfill her promise, Nathan reflected on ideas she and others have perpetuated about education: that college is for all, that hard work and determination are enough to get you through, that America is a land of equality. In When Grit Isn’t Enough, Nathan investigates five assumptions that inform our ideas about education today, revealing how these beliefs mask systemic inequity. Seeing a rift between these false promises and the lived experiences of her students, she argues that it is time for educators to face these uncomfortable issues head-on and explores how educators can better serve all students, increase college retention rates, and develop alternatives to college that don’t disadvantage students on the basis of race or income. Drawing on the voices of BAA alumni whose stories provide a window through which to view urban education today, When Grit Isn’t Enough helps imagine greater purposes for schooling.

Download or read book Youth in Postwar Guatemala written by Michelle J. Bellino and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of armed conflict, how do new generations of young people learn about peace, justice, and democracy? Michelle J. Bellino describes how, following Guatemala’s civil war, adolescents at four schools in urban and rural communities learn about their country’s history of authoritarianism and develop civic identities within a fragile postwar democracy. Through rich ethnographic accounts, Youth in Postwar Guatemala, traces youth experiences in schools, homes, and communities, to examine how knowledge and attitudes toward historical injustice traverse public and private spaces, as well as generations. Bellino documents the ways that young people critically examine injustice while shaping an evolving sense of themselves as civic actors. In a country still marked by the legacies of war and division, young people navigate between the perilous work of critiquing the flawed democracy they inherited, and safely waiting for the one they were promised...

Book Synopsis Codename Greenkil by : Elizabeth Wheaton
Download or read book Codename Greenkil written by Elizabeth Wheaton and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 3, 1979, in a Greensboro, North Carolina, housing project, gunfire erupted when a group of Klansmen and Nazis responded to public challenges to "face the wrath of the people" at a Communist-sponsored anti-Klan demonstration. Eighty-eight terror-filled seconds later, four demonstrators were dead, one was dying, and nine others were wounded. All of the dead were members of the Communist Workers Party (CWP). In Codename Greenkil, Elizabeth Wheaton goes behind the scenes of the shootings to reveal the sixteen-year history of people and events that set the stage for the tragedy and its aftermath. In her new afterword, Wheaton looks at the legacy of the shootings, focusing in particular on the survivor-initiated Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission, whose members were empaneled in June 2004 and issued their final report in May 2006.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the grassroots to the global, women's movements worldwide are taking on new arenas, new goals and strategies, and in some cases a whole new vocabulary. International organizations, nonstate actors, regimes and norms, and a host of globalizing forces offer women and their representatives new opportunities and obstacles. This volume draws together a wide range of exciting new research that looks at the gendered nature of the institutions, practices, and discourses of global governance. The contributors describe the spaces women have carved out in international organizations, the strategies women's movements have employed to influence international politics, and the ways in which movement activism has contested gendered rules in global governance. Out of a stimulating diversity of approaches, the common goal of empowering women resounds.

Book Synopsis The Work of Hospitals by : William C. Olsen
Download or read book The Work of Hospitals written by William C. Olsen and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of neoliberalism and global austerity measures, health care institutions around the world confront numerous challenges in attempting to meet the needs of local populations. Examples from Africa (including, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Congo), Latin America (Peru, Mexico, Guatemala), Western Europe (France, Greece), and the United States illustrate how hospitals play a significant role in the social production of health and disease in the communities where they are. Many low-resource countries have experienced increasing privatization and dysfunction of public sector institutions such as hospitals, and growing withdrawal of funding for non-profit organizations. Underlying the chapters in The Work of Hospitals is a fundamental question: how do hospitals function lacking the medications, equipment and technologies, and personnel normally assumed to be necessary? This collection of ethnographies demonstrates how hospital administrators, clinicians, and other staff in hospitals around the world confront innumerable risks in their commitment to deliver health care, including civil unrest, widespread poverty, endemic and epidemic disease, and supply chain instability. Ultimately, The Work of Hospitals documents a vast gulf between the idealized mission of the hospital and the implementation of this mission in everyday practice. Hospitals thus become “contested space” between policy and practice.
