- W2589596934 abstract "Purpose of Study Low-income, underrepresented students require significant amount of resilience to enter and persist through higher education. Although families may have experiential and general knowledge about college, often more formal procedural knowledge may be unfamiliar. (2) For example, low socioeconomic students may not know how to fill out financial aid forms or may be unfamiliar with opportunities for early admission at private institutions. Navigating educational pipeline requires additional creative solutions to limitations posed by an undocumented status. The purpose of this pilot study is to add to body of literature, specifically as it relates to understanding resources undocumented students use to navigate through college despite their lack of immigration status. This paper provides (1) brief overview of barriers that undocumented students face in accessing college, (2) methodology and findings of qualitative pilot study, and (3) discussion of areas for further study. Theoretical Framework This paper uses James S. Coleman's theory of social capital which he defines as a variety of different entities having components of existing within social structures and facilitating certain actions of actors [...] within structure. (3) This framework is related to Pierre Bourdieu's concept of social capital, defined as the aggregate of actual or potential resources which are linked to possession of durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition. (4) Both of these conceptualizations highlight importance of considering social interactions in positioning individuals for opportunities, specifically as it relates to employment and other processes that affect social status. The second theoretical framework used in this paper is concept of funds of knowledge, historically accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills essential for household or individual functioning and well-being. (5) This combined framework allows for examination of resources that students gain from their networks in high school and college. Furthermore, it allows for identification of resources that students bring with them from their home and upbringing, and it provides backdrop and starting point from which to examine processes of navigating resources in way that results in academic achievement and advancement through higher education. Research Question This study will answer following question: How do undocumented, high-achieving 1.5 generation Mexican American students utilize funds of knowledge and social capital to navigate through their undergraduate studies at Ivy League institutions? Overview of Research on Undocumented Students Issues Negatively Affecting Undocumented Students Social stigma and of being undocumented. William Perez finds that one of biggest factors that undocumented youths must cope with is fear of being deported to country they may, at best, only vaguely remember. (6) This fear applies both to their own situation and that of their families, as undocumented children are often likely to have undocumented parents and/or other undocumented siblings. (7) Anti-immigrant rhetoric in news has labeled undocumented individuals as law breakers, criminals, and illegals. These labels often fuel feelings of shame and guilt in undocumented youths. (8) Undocumented youths must deal with transition into new language, culture, community, and school and simultaneously grapple with higher acculturative stress than immigrants with legal status because of stigma associated with their legal status, (9) producing stigmatized identity. (10) Poverty. Although it is not atypical for immigrant families from underdeveloped countries to integrate into lower socioeconomic bracket of society, youths who are undocumented and have undocumented parents are more likely to live in households with extreme poverty (11) and may be unable to access even most basic services, such as healthcare. …" @default.
