Abstract:
​The narrow analysis of food insecurity in terms of detrimental effects or constrained achievement outcomes restricts the field’s imagination for multiply-marginalized students as active and complex agents, in and after their selective university experiences. Moreover, despite the value of single-site qualitative investigations of selective campus cultures and multiply-marginalized students even apart from a focus on food (Jack, 2019; Lee, 2016), the paucity of analysis extending inquiry after college shortchanges the field’s understanding of how racially, socially, culturally, and economically marginalized student identities, strategies, and priorities are translated and adapted into post-collegiate life. Despite calls for longitudinal analysis of food insecurity (Landry et al., 2023), very few studies extend investigation (Nagata et al., 2021; Raskind, et al., 2019; Wolfson et al., 2021), and none focus on food insecurity in and after college. As such, this study is the first of its kind to expand a qualitative analysis of food insecurity longitudinally and will be a significant contribution to the scholarship on food insecurity in the selective university context. This innovative work will further reveal the navigational strategies, enactments of social solidarity, identity internalization of food insecurity, and personal and professional aspirations of multiply-marginalized students.
