Mapping and Recontextualizing the Evolution of the Term "Latinx": An Environmental Scanning in Higher Education
Salinas, Cristobal, Jr.; Lozano, Adele
Journal of Latinos and Education, v18 n4 p302-315 2019
The term "Latinx" emerged recently as a gender-neutral label for Latino/a and Latin@. The purpose of this paper is to examine ways in which Latinx is used within the higher education context, and to provide an analysis of how the term can disrupt traditional notions of inclusivity and shape institutional understandings of intersectionality. Findings indicate a significant trend towards usage of "Latinx" in social media, and emerging use within higher education institutions. This paper is used to further the understandings of the use of the term "Latinx," and to advocate for people that are living in the borderlands of gender.
