A Qualitative Analysis of Undocumented Latino College Students' Movement towards Developing Purpose
Little, Theresa Lyon; Mitchell, Donald, Jr.
Review of Higher Education, v42 n1 p137-172 Fall 2018
Undocumented Latino college students face numerous legal, social, and financial barriers as they attempt to pursue a postsecondary degree and define their identity as college students. Researchers have noted the psychosocial development that occurs as students transition to an adult identity, yet little research has been done on the ways undocumented Latino college students navigate barriers to their identity development, specifically developing purpose, as students and members of U.S. society. This study utilizes hermeneutic phenomenological methods to explore the ways undocumented Latino college students develop purpose as a subset of the psychosocial identity development that occurs during their postsecondary experiences.
