This dissertation explored the career paths and experiences of Latina school administrators. Critical ethnography (Carspecken, 1996) was utilized to answer the following research question: Why are there so few Latina administrators and superintendents? Intersectionality (Crenshaw, 2016; Hill Collins, 2016) was the theoretical lens which framed the research's secondary questions: How does a woman's gender and race influence her career advancement opportunities in school administration? What does the career path entail for a Latina in school administration? What cultural characteristics influence Latinas in pursuing a position in school administration and superintendent? Data collection included interviews with six Latina school administrators. Data was analyzed using Carspecken's "horizon analysis" (Carspecken, 1996, p.94) and Saldanas (2009) in vivo and pattern coding. Findings revealed various themes indicating that participants believed their race and gender impacted their career advancement. Participants discussed feeling marginalized, tokenized, stereotyped, scrutinized and left behind by their colleagues. Participants employed coping strategies in order to counter these feelings and these strategies included working twice as hard, self-reflecting, and attempting to balance work and personal lives. Participants discussed the importance of mentors helping them attain administrative positions and explained the need for more mentors. Theoretical implications were discussed with a recommendation that critical ethnography and intersectionality be utilized more in educational research to explore the experiences of marginalized and oppressed peoples. Implications are discussed with a recommendation that individuals ask themselves critical questions regarding their biases, and work actively toward antisexist and antiracist ideals and actions. These critical questions should be asked by all teachers, administrators, and school boards in order to create educational systems that disrupt hegemonic White male narratives.
