For those students who do transfer, often the responsibility for the application process, retention, graduation, and overall success is placed on them rather than their respective institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides direction toward the development and maintenance of a transfer receptive culture, which is defined as an institutional commitment by a university to support transfer students of colour. A transfer receptive culture explicitly acknowledges the roles of race and racism in the vertical transfer process from a community college to a university and unapologetically centres transfer as a form of equity in the higher education pipeline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe framework is guided by critical race theory in education, which acknowledges the role of white supremacy and its contemporary and historical role in shaping institutions of higher learning.","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041734525271,"sku":"9781611863437","price":60.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/power-to-the-transfer-critical-race-theory-and-a-transfer-receptive-culture-9781611863437","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
