As Section Editor for The Latinx and Hispanic Experience, I am reaching out to invite you to submit a chapter to this section of the forthcoming volume, The American Research Handbook on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, edited by Dr. James S. Bridgeforth, Dr. Jamie Penven, and Dr. Theodore Ransaw.

This section centers the resistance and transformative impact of Latino/a/x communities during a critical time in the U.S. where social and educational institutions, communities, and peoples are being targeted, erased, or torn apart because of U.S. policies and institutional actions. The section will explores not only what has been overcome, but how Latino/a/x shape—and reshape—national culture, institutions, and policy. We are looking for powerful contributions that reflect a wide range of disciplines and methods, and that uplift the stories of agency, excellence, and innovation too often left out of mainstream research. We are accepting all types of scholarship works including art, poetry, and creative writing.

If your work engages with identity, culture, education, community leadership, health, politics, or intersectional frameworks within the Latinx/Hispanic experience, I strongly encourage you to submit. This is an opportunity to speak directly to policymakers, scholars, and practitioners who are shaping the next generation of inclusive thought and practice.
