Latinx: Say it With Intention

Latinx Intelligentsia

The term "Latinx" is still in the process of becoming. La Profesora talks with Dr. Cristobal Salinas, who has studied the evolution of the term within higher education contexts and introduces additional terms that may (better) address the experiences of gente within the Latinx/a/o diaspora.

And she talks with Dra. Sara Mata y Dr. Joel Perez, who were the co-chairs for the NASPA Latinx/a/o Knowledge Community when they changed the name to include the term Latinx.

Remember, mi gente, terminology is the first step--there still so much more work to do to truly embrace gender non-conforming, transgender, and gender queer gente and addressing anti-Blackness within our communities.
