We utilized a conceptual framework of Latino family epistemology and alternative parental role theory to explore the role of Puerto Rican fathers in family–school engagement. Findings reveal that these fathers: (a) cultivate education as a family and community affair in order to promote school success; (b) critique dynamics within the parent–school–district system and advocate for their chil...

role in securing opportunity for college. The authors examine the activation of agency among 16 urban
Latinas when navigating the structures influencing college opportunity through a cultural ecological model.
Examples of agency are represented as Latinas resist educational inequities and navigate their educational,
familial, communal, and out-of-class environments. In some cases, individuals and systems within these
environments serve as agents of resistance; in other environments, they serve as agents of support for
Latinas. We specifically were interested in understanding how Latinas activate agency and make sense of
how their college-going behaviors influenced college opportunity and transition.

The authors find that social networks and critical agency help to understand the integration of these various professionals and offer a critical agency network model of enacting change.

However, scholars have not examined if and how these theoretical frameworks can complement each other when attempting to understand educational opportunity for underrepresented students. In this article, we argue that a funds of knowledge approach should also be studied from a capital perspective. We claim that bridging funds of knowledge and capital has the potential to advance theory and to yield new insights and understandings of students' educational opportunities and experiences. Finally, we provide a discussion of key processes -(mis)recognition, transmission, conversion, and activation/mobilization -to which educational researchers need to pay closer attention when attempting to understand the attainment of goals in under-represented students' lives.

These scholars successfully navigated various educational processes with the support of one another, their families, faculty, and their chosen discipline. The authors, as sister scholars, retell their educational journeys through testimonio and analyze how their trenzas de identidades multiples (multiple strands of identity, that is, motherhood, social class, and public intellectual) now inform their work. By interrogating the extent to which intersections of identity affect educational and career pathways, the authors use plática (dialogue) to theorize their doctoral experiences and examine how their challenges and successes manifest in their professional lives in academia.
