Academic Socialization Experiences of Latina Doctoral Students

A Qualitative Understanding of Support Systems That Aid and Challenges That Hinder the Process

Juan Carlos González

University of Missouri–Kansas City

This article examines the experiences of academic socialization for Latina doctoral students. Thirteen 1- to 2-hour semistructured interviews were conducted with Latina doctoral students attending U.S. research institutions who had been in their programs for 3 or more years. Through production theory, a phenomenological analytic approach of Latina doctoral experiences was conducted. Findings include support systems, challenges, resistance methods, and issues with claiming their academic voice. The article concludes with policy implications and a discussion.

Key Words: higher education • Latinas • doctoral students • academic socialization • qualitative
