Cazares Finding one’s identity as a minority in the United States can be difficult for some, but it can be especially difficult for someone who is considered a double minority. Latinx women in the United States are considered a double minority because they not only face obstacles for simply being women, but also because of their ethnic group. Latinx women have many intersectionalities that can positively or negatively impact their identity such as language, generation, how they identify, the stark differences between what is happening at home and at school, and how people of their own community/friend group/family view them (Acevedo-Polakovic et al., 2014). Latinx women face many negative influences on their identity such as stereotypes, microaggressions and racism, and gender role expectations. These influences of identity can make it difficult for a Latinx woman to navigate her identity in the United States. Through their struggles, Latinx women have found ways to resist. This project seeks to give Latinx women the opportunity to build relationships with other Latinx women and discover what impacts their identity and how via a weekend long retreat. Not only will the women learn about what impacts identity and v how their identity is impacted, but they will also use what they learn about their identity and apply it to their own identity. The women will then be given the opportunity to tell their own stories about navigating their identity, but also share how they resisted any negative influences. This will give the women the chance to learn from one another and help other Latinx girls and women in developing strategies to resist negative influences, thus creating change in the Latinx community. , Committee Chair Margarita Berta-Ávila, Ed.D.

To my family and friends who have patiently supported me throughout this journey. vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to show my gratitude to Dr. Margarita Berta-Ávila for your guidance throughout this process.

Unfortunately, Latinx women may go through a much more complicated navigation of identity compared to Latinx men because they are a double minority. Latinx women are located along two different identity markers that are essential to who they are, but Latinas are not only women and members of an ethnic group, they are more than a sum of their parts (Jaramillo, 2010), meaning they have more to offer in this world and there is more about them other than their gender and ethnicity. Many Latinx women in the United States may have similar experiences that bring them together, but many may also have such different experiences that they feel they do not fit in with other Latinx women or their Latinx community. The intersectionality within the Latina community is what makes the community so unique. Unfortunately, there may be a conflict of straddling two cultures: The White United States culture and the culture of their family or other Latinxs around them

  • Trans En Las Americas
    Trans en las Américas Journal Launch Francisco J. Galarte, Claudia Sofía Garriga-López, Cole Rizki and Juana María Rodríguez FRIDAY, APRIL 2 • 2:00 PM • Register to attend at: https://bit.ly/2ObbIuu Shifting the geopolitics of trans studies, travesti theory is a Latinx American body of work with an extensive transregional history. As a particular body politics, travesti identification is not only a sexed, gendered, classed, and racialized form of relation, but a critical mode and an epistemology. Throughout the Américas, trans and travesti studies take a multiplicity of forms: scholarly work that engages identitarian and anti-identitarian analytical frameworks as well as interventions into state practices, cultural production, and strategic activist actions. These multiple critical approaches—both travesti and trans—are regionally inflected by the flows of people, ideas, technologies, and resources that shape the hemisphere, opening up space to explore the productive tensions and expansive possibilities within this body of work. This special issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly prompts a conversation between trans and travesti studies scholars working across the Américas to investigate how shifts in cultural practices, aesthetics, geographies, and languages enliven theories of politics, subjectivity, and embodiment. Contributors to this issue oer a hemispheric perspective on trans and travesti issues to the Anglophone academy, expand transgender studies to engage geopolitical connections, and bring interdisciplinary approaches to topics ranging from policy to cultural production. This issue is an unprecedented English-language collection by Latin American and Latinx scholars on trans and travesti issues. Francisco J. Galarte is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of New Mexico where he teaches courses in Chicanx, Latinx and transgender studies.

About EMR The secondary field in Ethnicity, Migration, Rights (EMR) offers students an opportunity to pursue sustained, interdisciplinary study of ethnicity, migration, indigeneity, and human rights with particular attention to Asian American and Pacific Islander, Latinx, and Native American topics. Courses in EMR are taught by faculty from across the disciplines in FAS, as well as at other Harvard schools, and draw on materials from the humanities and social sciences. Study in EMR allows students to explore our core areas from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students who decide to pursue the secondary field can choose from a wide range of courses under the guidance of the Administrative and Program Director and members of the Faculty Advisory Committee. Given the relevance of EMR topics to both local and global issues, the secondary field both encourages and provides opportunities for interacting directly with local communities and working outside the traditional classroom. EMR offers two secondary field pathways in 1) Ethnicity, Migration, Rights, and 2) Latinx Studies.

Course requirements ● Attendance and active participation: 10%. Careful preparation and discussion of readings and completion of in-class and home activities. ● Written assignments: 50%. In-class and at-home assignments designed to assess the student’s knowledge of pertinent concepts and ability to analyze data and to communicate findings. ● Research report: 40%. Original research that analyzes a small language text (e.g., a YouTube video, speeches by public figures, open corpora, social networks, excerpts from film or television programs, etc.). The results must be presented as a concise research report (2500-3000 words) that includes an introduction motivating the project, a review of a limited body of relevant literature, a description of the methods and analysis, an accurate representation of results, and a discussion of the significance of the findings.

  • Six Myths About Texas Latinx Republicans
    SIX MYTHS ABOUT TEXAS LATINX REPUBLICANS CMAS | REPORT V 1.1 September 2019 1 About CMAS The Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) at the University of Houston was established in 1972 as an interdisciplinary academic program encompassing the liberal arts, education and social sciences focusing on the Mexican American and broader Latino experience in the U.S. Its mission is to advance knowledge, promote critical thinking and foster the value of service to the community. This involves designing a broad spectrum of public and scholarly programs. Located within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, CMAS has evolved into an academic unit with several major components: teaching, research and publications, recruitment and retention, leadership training, academic advising and community service. 2 SIX MYTHS ABOUT TEXAS LATINX REPUBLICANS Brandon Rottinghaus Pauline Yelderman Endowed Chair Professor, University of Houston Rudy Fonseca B.A, University of Houston The views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Houston 3 Executive Summary Texas is home to one of the largest Latinx populations in the nation, but population size does not directly translate to political power for either party. The “sleeping giant” is real: Latinos are predicted to become the largest population group in Texas by 2022. Both parties continuously battle to win over the Latinx voting bloc – Democrats to increase their majority hold and fend off Republican acquisition, and Republicans to increase their higher than average base. Latinos becoming the largest population group does not directly translate to new votes for either party.

Abstract Gender identity is a rapidly changing concept and so is the language that we use to talk about ourselves or others that may identify outside of the traditional binary system. Spanish typically functions as a masculine generic-dominated language, but there are attempts to make the language more inclusive. One of those attempts appeared in the early 2000s: -x. This marker is unpronounceable as a syllable nucleus. Via an online survey and virtual interviews, this project discovers how Spanish speakers from various countries incorporate gender inclusive language (IL) in writing and speech. Which speakers incorporate IL? Additionally, why do they use IL? The statistically significant variables are gender identity and birth country.

  • Why Mathematics (Education) Was Late to the Backlash Party: the Need for a Revolution
    Journal of Urban Mathematics Education December 2017, Vol. 10, No. 2, pp. 8–24 ©JUME. http://education.gsu.edu/JUME COMMENTARY Why Mathematics (Education) was Late to the Backlash Party: The Need for a Revolution Rochelle Gutiérrez University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. – Martin Luther King, Jr. hen our pedagogy or scholarship involves challenging the status quo, espe- W cially on behalf of students who are Indigenous,1 Latinx,2 and Black,3 some people will go to extreme measures to silence us. Those extreme measures became apparent this year when I came under attack from the Alt-Right as a result of a “news” story that Campus Reform and Fox News produced.4 In a chapter of a book on scholarly practices in mathematics methods courses, I wrote about the relation- ship between whiteness and mathematics (Gutiérrez, 2017b). My argument had two key points: (a) mathematics operates as whiteness when we do not acknowledge the contributions of all cultures, and (b) mathematics operates as whiteness when it is used as a standard by which we judge others. The message that made headlines, 1 I use Indigenous and Aboriginal interchangeably. U.S. authors tend to use the term Indigenous or Native, whereas authors from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand tend to use the term Aboriginal. In Canada, Aboriginal includes First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. 2 I use the term Latinx (as opposed to Latino, Latina/o, or Latin@) as a sign of solidarity with people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersexual, asexual, and two- spirit (LGBTQIA2S).
