Abstract

This session is led by an interdisciplinary group of current and former undocumented scholars pursuing their Ph.D. programs. The panel will explore the experiences of undocumented students navigating the pipeline from high school to graduate school. Each presentation highlights systemic challenges faced by undocumented students in California, racialization, and the impacts of federal and state policies. Presenters will showcase how undocumented students persist and leverage their families and activism to overcome barriers.

Attendees will gain insight into the challenges students encounter at each stage of their educational journey and identify both parallels and differences in students’ experiences. Finally, attendees will leave with actionable steps to advocate for undocumented students.
