This study examines and enriches understanding of the career choice process for graduate students of color. Social identity theory (SIT) is used as a framework to expand our understanding of how and why graduate students choose (or do not choose) faculty careers. Graduate students’ cultural social identities influenced their career choice beyond work–life balance as they sought an integrated life that included values, beliefs, and perspectives that represent their cultural community.
