Offers novel frameworks and models for understanding college access and choice among communities of Color.

This much-needed volume brings together academics, practitioners, students, and community members of Color to thoroughly reframe college access and choice in research and practice. Enrollment rates continue to differ substantially by race and ethnicity. While Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color remain inequitably stratified in the pursuit of higher education, many models of college choice are simply insufficient for understanding the college-going processes of diverse students. Continually centering BIPOC knowledge, assets, and needs, contributors provide a series of varied yet connected frameworks grounded in culturally sustaining, community-oriented research. Like the educational journeys it represents, the volume is a communal activity that invites participation. Each chapter concludes with a series of critical reflection questions to guide readers in deeper learning and engagement.

Chrystal A. George Mwangi is Associate Professor of Higher Education at George Mason University. Yedalis Ruíz Santana is Chief Access and Equity Officer/Executive Director of the Tania M. Barber Learning Institute at Caring Health Center and Faculty Affiliate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
