"Nosotras Somos la Differencia": Reclaiming Our Identities as First-Generation Latina Professionals in Higher Education
Judith Rebecca Robles
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northern Arizona University
The purpose of this study is to examine first-generation (FG) Latinas lived experiences and how they successfully navigate their roles as higher education professional staff. FG Latina professional staff were interviewed to understand how their identities as Latinas impact them in their higher education careers. Chicana Feminism (Delgado Bernal, 1998) was the framework utilized to capture the lived experiences of FG Latinas and how these identities continue to positively influence them in their higher education roles. These conversations also captured how they at times do not feel Mexican enough to be accepted by other Latinas, how the role of family and culture influences home/work experiences, and how they feel connected when they have access to mentors/support at the university.
