Data from interviews and documents were analyzed to describe how supervisors initiated opportunities for relationship…

This research-to-practice brief examines the key outcomes of eight empirical studies that focus explicitly on Latin American and/or Hispanic students during study abroad programs. The study abroad programs predominantly occurred in Central America. Critical to this brief are how heritage learners navigate Latinx cultures as Latinx or Hispanic…

The field of modern counseling is conceptualized through a lens of social justice advocacy with professionals tasked with actively engaging in advocacy efforts. However, counselor education has been slower to make systemic changes needed to decolonize and dismantle the field to prepare future counselors with the skills needed to adequately address…

Let's Discover STEM is designed to provide enriching foundational Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics experiences for Latino children who likely would not have such experiences; teach parents how to nurture children's curiosity by encouraging and supporting their children's STEM learning at home, in school and throughout the…

California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) has been implementing a Title Vb grant, "Promoting Excellence in Graduate Education and Increasing Hispanic STEM Related Degree Completion," to continue "strengthening the STEM program support" for students of Latino origin and "developing a Graduate School-Going…

Academic leaders in higher education come by and large from majority white faculty. This article describes the development of a consortium-based faculty leadership program intentionally designed for Black and Latino faculty, the specific ways the program components addressed issues of race in the context of leadership, and the recruitment…

Existing research suggests that Latinx educational leaders in the U.S. positively impact Latinx student outcomes and home-school relationships. Yet, much of this research has been conducted in traditional U.S. Latinx immigrant destinations. We know little about the Latinx leadership experiences in regions where Latinx communities are smaller, yet…

Often, these students are neglected through deficit-based pedagogical practices with regard to their cultural and linguistic practices; however, other research into asset-based pedagogical practices…

Expecting discrimination in one's future occupation is known to have negative implications for adolescents' career pathways. However, little is known about how such discriminatory expectations emerge. The current contentious sociopolitical climate toward immigrants, especially those of Latinx heritage, has contributed to heightened discrimination…

Most policy discussions around Latino boys aim to foster academic success without fully considering the way unequal outcomes are by design. The zero-sum nature of US education warrants a critical analysis and fundamental reimagining. I employ the lenses of critical social theory and critical discourse studies for a three-fold purpose: (1) examine…

Discriminatory legislation targeting Latinx immigrants in the United States has shifted how parents communicate with their children about the hostile political climate. One way that Latinx parents talk about and prepare their children to face prejudice is through ethnic-racial socialization, which can promote children's positive development. Few…
