Beyond Getting in and Fitting in: An Examination of Social Networks and Professionally Relevant Social Capital among Latina/o University Students
Rios-Aguilar, Cecilia; Deil-Amen, Regina
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v11 n2 p179-196 Apr 2012
Social network analyses, combined with qualitative analyses, are examined to understand key components of the college trajectories of 261 Latina/o students. Their social network ties reveal variation in extensity and the relevance. Most ties facilitate social capital relevant to getting into college, fewer engage social capital relevant to strategizing success in college, and even fewer provide social capital benefits useful for planning career/professional trajectories. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)
