I Second That Emotion: A Phenomenological Study Of The Socioemotional Experiences Of Black And Latinx Students In Developmental Education, Toni Foster-Irizarry
Theses and Dissertations
Some community colleges lack the socioemotional support required to help underprepared students grow into autonomous, college-ready learners (Callahan, 2004; Capt et al., 2014). Black and Latinx students could benefit from the inclusion of positive, emotionally supportive programming that acknowledges their personhood, cultural capital acquisition, and potential educational trauma caused by years of negative school experiences and emotions.

The central research question asked, “How do Black and Latinx community college students perceive and emotionally respond to developmental …
