LA Program as a Driving Force for Identity Development Through Access to Ideational Resources
written by
Xandria R. Quichocho, Simone Hyater-Adams, and Eleanor W. Close
In our research we invite multiply-marginalized physics students--Black, Indigenous, Women of Color and LGBTQ+ women--at Hispanic Serving Institutions to participate in semi-structured interviews about their experiences in physics. Interviewees were asked about their perceptions of their physics environments, available support systems, and how they would describe a physicist. Participants from Texas State University described multiple positive impacts from the Physics Learning Assistant (LA) Program. We analyze these narratives using the Critical Physics Identity framework to see in what ways LA participation overlaps with participants' racialized and/or queer experiences studying physics. We present a case study of a single participant, focused on the ways in which the LA Program provided her access to relational resources (aspects of relationships that impact one's connection to physics) and ideational resources (aspects of an idea that impact one's connection to physics), and how these resources supported her identity negotiation and positive physics identity development.
