Exploring Cultural Cost Among Students with Minoritized Identities Across Varying Sociopolitical Contexts
Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, Beaudry BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Cultural cost is grossly understudied in the motivation literature despite its (a) potential for producing implications for better supporting minoritized students and (b) heightened relevance in the current political landscape. This session will feature some of the first known empirical cultural cost studies among minoritized students within the situated expectancy-value literature. We present research across various social identities, subject domains, education levels, and sociopolitical contexts. This session serves as a springboard for further conceptual and operational refinement of cultural cost and theoretical integration within and beyond the motivation literature. Finally, this symposium will produce insight into the experiences of minoritized students’ cultural experiences across classrooms and political contexts and will reveal novel ways educational institutions can better support their experiences.
