Developing Scholars
«Developing Scholars makes an important intervention in scholarship on college access policies by centering the social movements which produced college access for Black and Brown students, while also shining a light on the many ways these programs have been restrained and stripped of their power through the implementation of secondary admissions criteria and defunding. Importantly, this book illustrates that for many Black and Brown students, higher education is not an individual pursuit, but rather a collective undertaking made possible by social movements and continually sustained by community members. This book should be read by scholars of higher education and social movements.»

«Higher education has long been considered a trusted pathway to equal opportunity and upward socioeconomic mobility; yet in this extraordinary book, Domingo Morel offers a bold and rigorous intervention demonstrating that this pathway is neither simple nor certain. Morel's rich analysis of Rhode Island's Talent Development program and its innovative approach to affirmative action expands our understanding of the complex set of institutional, programmatic, and political forces that can determine the effectiveness and fate of policy interventions. A must-read for anyone interested in the role that race and politics have played in the history of educational opportunity, and those looking to develop clear-eyed strategies for expanding equal opportunity through social policy.»
