Mexican Men and Their Doctoral Journey: Counterstories of Resistance, Resilience, and Resolve
Kenny Lopez
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
Given the significant growth in the Latino population in the United States (U.S.), including within the Mexican subgroup, there has been a need for more research that examines the experiences of Latino students in higher education in the U.S. However, extant scholarship in this area has been largely centered on the community college and baccalaureate levels. This study aims to go a step further by contributing to the dearth of literature interrogating the experiences of Mexican men obtaining doctoral degrees. Through the use of counterstory as methodology and Community Cultural Wealth as theoretical framework, this study offers the counterstories of six Mexican men doctoral degree completers. Findings highlight the richness of each participants' lived experiences through their doctoral degree journeys and collectively address this study's research questions: How do Mexican men in the field of higher education draw on their community cultural wealth to successfully complete their doctoral studies? By illuminating participants' displays of resistance, resilience, and resolve, this study challenges traditional notions that frame and position Mexican men from a deficit perspective. The implications for practice and research will draw on a multi-pronged approach to improve, combat, and overcome the negative experiences that Mexican men may face in their doctoral programs.
