31.031 - Advancing Social Justice by Bridging the Cultural Worlds of Students, Families, Communities, Schools, and Universities

Fri, April 17, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton IV

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This session presents seven studies that focus on promoting justice through partnerships among students, families, cultural communities, schools, and universities. The studies examine how the cultural contexts of immigrant and minority students in Alabama, California, and Hawai‘i influence academic and personal development, including cultural, college, and career identities. Two posters focus on what facilitates and impedes minority K-12 families’ access to high quality education. Two consider how cultural worlds involve both protection and promotion, as students navigate adolescent pathways. Three posters illuminate the role of universities as cultural brokers and gatekeepers along college, career, and cultural pathways. This session aligns theories and research, and illuminates similarities and differences across multicultural communities along the academic pipeline from childhood to graduate school.
