And Yet We Strive: Black, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx Students' Development of Academic Self-Concept in College

• In Event: Barriers to College Access and Barriers on Campus

Abstract

Black, Latinx, and Afro-Latinx students continue to be marginalized within four-year colleges and universities. Using a multidimensional model approach, students of color’s academic self-perceptions are investigated to call for interventions that urge higher education to address their historical legacy with oppression, to bring lasting change where students of color may excel at four-year institutions.
