Adrián Huerta, PhD released his crucial findings centered on the career and college aspirations of gang-involved Latino boys. Check out his research paper, which was predominantly intended for use by K-12 and other higher education faculty to gain a better understanding of how gang-involved Latino boys can advance in society. https://lnkd.in/gpjssaSY USC Rossier School of Education, Adrianna Kezar

Congratulations to Royel Johnson, PhD on receiving this amazing award!

https://lnkd.in/gJnyce6C I am excited to share a new research paper about the college and career aspirations of gang-involved Latino boys published in The Review of Higher Education - titled: "Hoped-For Selves: Using Possible Selves to Explore the Career and College-Going Aspirations for Gang-Involved Latino Boys." I hope this paper helps to shift the negative attitudes held by some educators about gang-involved children. The boys in this study shared hopes of working in the health/medical, criminal legal, and automotive industries to become business owners. They also shared goals of earning two—and four-year degrees and certificates, which counters the perception that gang-involved youth "do not care" about their futures.
