I draw on intersectionality and DisCrit to share how my social identities influence my experiences with marginalization and oppression within a neoliberal university context. I highlight the ways in which my…

The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of an electronic check-in, check-out (eCICO) intervention. The district's case manager (i.e., guidance counselor) implemented the eCICO intervention remotely via FaceTime on an iPad in collaboration with the bus driver who facilitated student wireless internet access to a mobile hot spot.…
