Abstract:
|
This proposal explores Chatman's Information Poverty Theory as a framework to understand the information behaviors and struggles experienced by First-Generation College Students (FGCS) majoring in business. The presentation will delve into how FGCS navigate information environments, encounter barriers, and develop coping mechanisms within the context of business education. Furthermore, we will examine the potential intersection of how imposter syndrome, feelings of inadequacy, and self-doubt may exacerbate information-related challenges. By shedding light on these issues, this session seeks to equip advisors and educators with insights and strategies better to support FGCS in their academic and professional journeys. |
