New conceptual framework: ‘Bridging socio-cultural incongruity’
• Rejecting deficit conceptions that either:– Students are ‘the problem’ and/or– Institutions are the problem.
Instead, conceiving the facilitation of student success as a ‘joint venture’ toward bridging socio-cultural incongruity.

New conceptual framework: ‘Bridging socio-cultural incongruity’
• The incongruity is between:– The social and cultural capital of the LSES studentand– The social and cultural capital of the institutions
in which they study.
Neither is in deficit, they are simply incongruent, at least initially.
