Master's Theses, Dissertations, Graduate Research and Major Papers Overview
This dissertation is a qualitative study of an all-girls’ advisory in a coeducational,
urban middle school located in a mid-sized city in the northeast.
The advisory group met daily over the course of the 2010-2011 academic year.
Drawing from data collected over one year of fieldwork--including participant
observation, analysis of discourse, dynamic interviews, and the analysis of
social constructs --this study explores how a group of mostly African
American and Latina students created a caring community in order to increase
their academic and social success.
