Transitions to postsecondary education; racial, ethnic, and religious minority college student development.
Dr. Antonio's research focuses on equity issues in American higher education. As admission spots into higher education institutions become more competitive and more acute, he seeks to achieve a better understanding of how college-going cultures are developed and maintained in schools. He is also interested in network approaches to conceptualizing and studying college student development, particularly among racial, ethnic and religious minorities. His current projects also include studies of engineering education.
"Crucial collaboration, as we envision it, is a dialogical process of policymaking and program development undertaken by researchers, policymakers, educators, and activists working together. Agenda-setting, for example, is simultaneously the purview of researchers who can help identify and/or validate acute areas of need, of government policymakers who understand the political realities and roadblocks of implementing successful policies, of educators who bring practical and contextual knowledge to policy design, and of activists who represent community will, desire, and sense of priority in discussions that ultimately affect students and their communities. Researcher involvement in crucial collaboration will bring our work to the 'ground floor' of policymaking, promising both greater participation in the process and a tighter tailoring of research agendas to contemporary policy debates and programmatic needs."
