Publisher Synopsis
Diversifying professionals, researchers, and faculty in higher education with Latina/o talent continues to be a goal of many who work in graduate recruitment, graduate student support, and the preparation of undergraduates for advanced degrees. This book provides important information about the realities Latina/os face as replacement of the ranks in higher education is occurring and the Latina/o population is increasing. We need to take the insights presented here to develop more intentional activities to prepare the next generation of Latino doctoral recipients. - Sylvia Hurtado is Professor and Director of the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles ""Combining facts, scholarly assessments and the vibrant perspectives of doctoral candidates, this book guides readers along the PH.D. pathway taken, and still to be pursued, by many Latino doctorates. Increasing the successful participation of the country's fastest growing community - the Latino community - is a pressing challenge for higher education. This book serves as an important resource to anyone who seeks to meet this challenge."" - Sarita E. Brown, President, Excelencia in Education Read more...
