The High School Journal, 100(4), 264–281. https://doi.org/10.1353/hsj.2017.0012. This study draws on a larger sociocultural framework and ecological theories to understand how one Latino male navigates various ecological spaces (i.e., home, school, and neighborhood) and how they shape the way he engages in a continuation school.
