Exploring Educational and Developmental Experiences of Girls of Color - Girlhood Reimagined

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. Building upon an adapted model of Positive Youth Development for Adolescent Girls of Color, emphasizing the strengths of girls of Color rather than their deficits, Exploring Educational and Developmental Experiences of Girls of Color presents a diverse set of perspectives in terms of authors’ social identities, professional orientations, and developmental stages. Chapters examine the experiences of girl-identified adolescents of Color and the strengths, skills, and competencies that they use to navigate through their different educational contexts while simultaneously making sense of their intersectional identities.
