For this study, the authors engaged in a series of conversations or "pláticas" to critically examine their understanding and use of the term "Latinx." Using 'trioethnography' as methodology, the authors' critical dialogic discussions surfaced new and transformative understandings of the term "Latinx." Two questions guided this study: (1) How do we choose to take up the term "Latinx" in our personal and professional lives? (2) What new understandings and implications of the term occur through our "pláticas"? The authors identified three themes regarding their use and understanding of "Latinx": (1) the institutionalization of the term "Latinx" with a focus on inclusivity versus performativity; (2) the development of critical consciousness and liminality around the term; and (3) epistemological, theoretical, and practical shifts in understanding of the term.
