Abstract

Abstract: In this comparative case study of 22 student-mothers in Georgia and New York during the COVID-19 pandemic, we explore the role social capital plays in mitigating participants' challenges. Using Adler and Kwon's (2002) bridging versus bonding forms of capital, we argue participants turned to their internal, primarily women-comprised networks (bonding) to navigate academics and parenting after the pandemic eroded opportunities for bridging capital. We highlight the ways that student-mothers' primarily women-comprised networks stepped in to provide important support to facilitate participants' persistence when higher education institutions were unable to do so. This study challenges dominant notions of social capital and brings to light its often-hidden gendered nature to underscore how a strong internal support network can lead to individual and, ultimately, societal benefits. The results of this study have implications far beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, challenging educators to think critically about how to harness the support networks of minoritized and marginalized students to facilitate student success.

纽带:COVID-19大流行期间学生母亲的社会资本
摘要:通过对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间乔治亚州和纽约州22名学生母亲的比较案例研究,我们探讨了社会资本在缓解参与者挑战方面的作用。利用Adler和Kwon(2002)的“桥接与纽带形式的资本”,我们认为,在大流行侵蚀了桥接资本的机会之后,参与者转向了他们的内部(主要由女性组成)网络来引导学术和养育子女。我们强调,当高等教育机构无法做到这一点时,学生母亲主要由女性组成的网络提供了重要的支持,以促进参与者的坚持。这项研究挑战了社会资本的主流观念,揭示了其经常隐藏的性别性质,强调了强大的内部支持网络如何带来个人和最终的社会利益。这项研究的结果远远超出了COVID-19大流行的影响,它要求教育工作者批判性地思考如何利用少数民族和边缘化学生的支持网络来促进学生的成功。
