"It Was a Shitshow": Testimonios of Latina Student Affairs Mother-Practitioners Navigating Personal and Professional Worlds during COVID-19
Hong, Alejandra Delacruz
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Southern California
This study examined the lived experiences of Latina mother-practitioners in student affairs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic affected individuals in a variety of ways, and as people continue to grapple with its evolution, exploring the experiences of Latina mother-practitioners ensures they are a part of research related to it. Qualitative methods were used, namely "testimonio" and photo-elicitation, to tell the stories of six Latina mother-practitioners. This study is guided by Chicana/Latina feminist epistemology, borderlands, and "carino." The findings included that participants' personal and professional worlds were completely blurred during the pandemic, the pandemic caused an increase in anxiety for participants, and that participants were conflicted about their futures in higher education. Recommendations for practice include centralizing historically marginalized people in academic research, implementation of family-friendly human resource practices, fair compensation for Latina mother-practitioners, and creation of support networks.
