Hallett, Ronald E.; Westland, Melinda A.; Mo, Elaine
New Directions for Community Colleges, n181 p49-58 Spr 2018
This chapter describes the ways that the trauma of childhood frames the academic, social, and personal lives of many foster youth as they navigate higher education. In particular, we focus on the role of homelessness, social network fragmentation, and abuse and neglect.
