The result of this grounded theory study was the Muxerista Activist Consciousness Development Framework as a guiding model for identity and sociopolitical consciousness development for queer Latinx/a/o college student activists. This framework encompasses the cognitive, behavioral, social-political, and corporeal reality of queer Latinx/a/o…

Latina students exhibit high levels of academic resilience evidenced by increased rates of educational attainment despite social, cultural, and structural barriers. Although research has identified factors that positively and negatively impact their academic resilience, little attention has been given to the influence of identity. To address this…

This study explores how three multilingual learners of Japanese as a second language (L2) at an Australian university negotiate their language and (imagined) identities in relation to their L2 learning. Based on interview data, the results indicate that while the participants' imagined identities were closely connected with…

Past laboratory work has shown that exposure to similar peers who represent success in STEM (i.e., math-talented female peer role models) can bolster female college students' math performance and STEM experiences. What is less clear is how students at intersecting identities of gender, ethnicity, and math identification differ in their similarity…

This narrative review of current research on gender and mathematics covers the years 2020 to 2022. The number of exemplary publications within these 3 years and the diversity of topics, theoretical frameworks, subjects, and authors are indications of gender and mathematics remaining a robust and evolving area of study. Of particular interest are…

Background: Mentoring is an important developmental relationship that can positively impact student growth, specifically, students' capacity to make sense of their own selves through addressing any possible incongruence between their social identities and emerging professional identity as engineers. This need is even more pronounced for students…

As the need to provide advocacy and support for marginalized college student populations increases and campus challenges related to college men persist, educators and scholars are increasingly finding themselves in need of more nuanced frameworks for engaging and understanding college men. One such model, the "Intersectional Model of College…

To access accommodations, students must disclose their disabilities to disability resource centers (DRCs), formally request them, and work with disability resource professionals (DRPs) to determine if the requested accommodations are reasonable (Lyman et al., 2016). Although guidance is available for DRPs on determining reasonableness (e.g., AHEAD…

This study examines the exploration of gender identity among U.S. college students, using identity journey mapping conducted during a study abroad program. Drawing from the framework of gender as a social construct and intersectionality, this article demonstrates how educators allow students to negotiate and express their gender identity in both…

Instructor (mis)behavior research has traditionally been empirically dominated by White student samples, limiting the voice of underrepresented student populations. The present study extends scholarship on instructor (mis)behaviors by magnifying the voices of students of color with an intersectional lens. Utilizing surveys, participants (N = 154)…

Pursuing education overseas is a high impact practice in higher education. Students who identify as LGBTQIA + --commonly referred to as "queer," an umbrella term--may be more likely to participate yet face additional unique challenges. Using a systematic review of literature across multiple disciplines, this paper explores LGBTQIA +…

This study illuminates the nuanced experiences of Asian international women students in Computer and Mathematical Sciences, and Engineering doctoral programs in the United States, a domain historically shaped by male dominance, White supremacy, and Western ideologies. While existing literature on gender and racial-ethnic disparities in Science,…

This study used gain scores and linear regression equations to examine the role of race, socioeconomic status, and school control (public or Catholic/private) on student science identity growth trajectories. The participants of this study were 18,837 students who were followed from the beginning of secondary education to three years after…

Despite the increasing attention given to veterans in higher education, few studies have explored the transitional experiences of women of color student veterans (WOCSVs). This study examines the gendered and racialized experiences of WOCSVs and the impact of their intersecting identities on the transition through higher education. Considering the…

Far too often researchers see social identities as discrete categories as opposed to understanding how they intersect to form students' unique collegiate experiences. With this in mind, the authors sought to understand how individuals with multiple minoritized identities explore who they are during their time in college. In particular, using data…
