  • In Solidarity Against Systemic Oppression

    Open AccessDelma Ramos, Elsa Camargo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Latinos and Education2026

    This study examines Mexican-origin college students’ minoritized linked fate in the Nuevo South, exploring how perceptions of cross-racial and cross-ethnic collaboration vary by place of racial socialization. While scholarship on Mexican-origin students often centers regions with long-standing Latine communities, this research focuses on Arkansas and North Carolina, new destination states with rapidly growing Latine populations. Using a comparati…

  • Todo sobre mi madre

    Alicia H Reid, Sue Sala et al.ARTICLEJournal of Curriculum and Pedagogy2025

    In this article, we draw from an in-depth interview sequence to story how a Latina’s delayed professional trajectory into the New South schoolhouse was, in large part, due to her mother’s warning that K-12 teaching was a dead-end career for losers. Our analysis underscores the emotional tensions that Janet Castillo (a pseudonym) navigated as she struggled to reconcile the burden of her mother’s approval with her own professional dreams. We sugges…

    Traditionally, imposter syndrome is defined as feelings of inferiority regardless of one's accomplishments and experiences. Imposter syndrome is often viewed as an experience that racially minoritized populations in higher education must encounter. But these traditional understandings frame imposter syndrome as a personal flaw rather than a product of structural oppression. Consequently, these limited and deficit focused ideas of imposter syndrom…

    Aligned with critical scholarship and upholding minoritized populations' agency and power, this survey research study addresses Latinx college students' resistance strategies in two Nuevo South states by examining the social issues that students are aware of, engage with, and the nature of their interactions with these issues. We apply Southern epistemology as a framework to center the unique Nuevo South sociopolitical context and examine modern …

    Delma Ramos, Judy Marquez KiyamaARTICLEEducational Studies2021Cited by: 3References: 34

    Drawing on a synthesis of foundational and extant Funds of Knowledge (fk) scholarship that traces the framework’s theoretical origins and development, this manuscript proposes a unified corpus of six core tenets for fk, as an extension to current theoretical understandings of the framework. These six core tenets are commonly cited individually within the fk research but not collectively considered, especially for their capacity to critically and …
