The Varied College Pathways of Latino Young Adults: A Narrative Study of Empowerment Theory
Professional School Counseling, v23 n1 2019
School counselors are uniquely positioned to promote college going and improve lagging postsecondary matriculation for Latino men. Hipolito-Delgado and Lee's empowerment framework guided this narrative inquiry to consider how school counselors (dis)empower Latinos via (in)access to college-going information. Findings revealed that participants experienced clear pathways or prohibitive roadblocks through the actions of school counselors as gatekeepers. Implications for school counseling practice and future research are situated within recommendations for creating more equitable college pathways.
