The Latinx Guide to Graduate School

“This is the essential text for Latinxs considering or already enrolled in graduate education. More than a guide, it is a Latinx cultural master plan for navigating an often mysterious and exclusionary graduate education system replete with hidden rules, traditions and conventions. With unwavering love y cariño, the authors validate and lift Latinxs to their rightful place in the academy, not as outsiders but as genuine knowledge creators with a noble vision to transform the academy even as it transforms them.” - Laura I. Rendón, author of Sentipensante Pedagogy: Educating for Wholeness, Social Justice, and Liberation

“When I was applying to and working in my PhD program, I had no guide. My six years in graduate school would have been more beneficial if I had The Latinx Guide to Graduate School. I have been guiding doctoral students for thirty-two years at UCLA, and this book will be an invaluable resource for my (and others’) graduate students. The tools that Professors Negrón-Gonzales and Barrera share to demystify the hidden curriculum of graduate school will impact future generations of Latina/o and other doctoral students.” - Daniel G. Solórzano, Professor of Social Science and Comparative Education and Chicana/o and Central American Studies, University of California, Los Angeles

"A powerful guide for navigating the demands of graduate school with authenticity and awareness of normative academic expectations rooted in systems of oppression." - Delma Ramos, Paul Nava, and rehshetta, College Student Affairs Journal
