Resisting Legacies of Racialized Adversities: Counterstories of South Asians Navigating Transition Planning
Sehrish Shikarpurya; Carly B. Gilson
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v47 n1 p62-75 2024
Strengthening parent support is critical to improving the transition to adulthood outcomes of racially minoritized youth. However, in literature, the transition experiences of racially minoritized parents are often characterized using deficit-based language. Strengths-based counternarratives of racially minoritized parents could offer a broader account of parent experiences. We conducted a pilot sequential explanatory transformative mixed methods design with equal priority to capture the adversities experienced and the strengths leveraged by South Asian parents in the United States when navigating the transition planning process. We used the strengths-based frameworks of community cultural wealth and counterstories to reframe and re(present) the transition experiences of South Asian parents. Specifically, we blended quantitative (N = 46) and qualitative findings (N = 8) to develop a preliminary meta-inference of the transition experiences of South Asian parents. We discuss the implications of our findings for research and practice.
