Racial Equity and Community Colleges: Equity-Mindedness and Student Experiences

Tue, April 21, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Higher education institutions need to transform institutional practices that make it difficult for marginalized students to succeed, and understanding faculty beliefs and practices as well as how certain marginalized students succeed can aid in this transformation. This symposium compiles the latest research on student experiences and faculty beliefs as they relate to racial equity in higher education. Collectively, these papers: 1) highlight the cultural capital that marginalized students draw from in order to succeed academically, 2) expand our understanding of how faculty beliefs impact their pedagogical practices, and 3) present a tool for quantitatively assessing faculty’s equity-minded beliefs.
