Navigation of food insecurity in LSES Latina students through community cultural wealth.

Throughout this paper I study the navigation of food insecurity in LSES Latina students at selective, normatively affluent universities through the framework of Community Cultural Wealth. From my analysis I propose three categories of how this population of students navigate food insecurity, direct-material navigation, indirect material navigation, and indirect non-material navigation. Within these categories, I also analyzed how the seven Community Cultural Wealth capitals interacted with these elements. All three categories had significant familial and social capital within them. Aspirational capital, which was found in the indirect non-material category, was also found to lead to navigational capital in the two material categories. The implications of this study include helping students maximize their use of Community Cultural Wealth capitals while still addressing institutional systems that fail these students.
