Examining the Role of Social Capital in Access to College for Latinas: Toward a College Opportunity Framework
Kenneth P. González
Carla Stoner
Jennifer E. Jovel
Using life history research methods, this study sought to understand how relationships with family and school personnel affect postsecondary opportunities for Latina students. The focus is on primary and secondary school experiences of two groups of Latina students and how those experiences influenced their opportunities to pursue postsecondary education. Findings suggest exposure to or accumulation of high or low volumes of social capital or institutional neglect and abuse limits or expands students perceived and/or actual opportunities for college.
