Braiding Care and Cultural Wealth: Latinx Praxis, Mentorship, and Institutional Reckoning in Academia

Fri, April 10, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: Gold Level, Gold 3

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

This session brings together five qualitative studies that center Latinx graduate students and scholars—Latino men, Afro-Latina mentors, and Chicana/Latina/Afro-Latina faculty—as agents of care, resistance, and transformation within higher education. Through narrative inquiry, testimonios, and feminist epistemologies, each paper reveals how identity-anchored motivations, mentorship rooted in cultural wealth, and safety as a basic need converge to challenge institutional neglect and reimagine graduate education as a space of relational accountability.
