  In Roundtable Session: The Power and Promise of Collaborations for Increasing College Access

Abstract

This paper applies Bourdieu’s (1986) theory of social and cultural reproduction to examine the experiences of 250 Latinx high school students who graduated from a high school implementing a college for all policy. The findings in this paper illustrate the students’ experiences as they transitioned and navigated post-secondary education.
