Abstract

Historically, pláticas have existed in the Chicanx/Latinx community for generations. In the 1970s, academics began to use pláticas as part of the research process. Since then, the theorization of pláticas has expanded. In 2016, Fierros and Delgado Bernal’s, Vamos a Platicar, article helped change the conversation on the use of pláticas in research by shifting them from simple entryways or “small talk,” to a valid methodological approach. This panel highlights the work of scholars who not only ground their use of pláticas in Chicana/Latina feminista frameworks but are also expanding on Fierros and Delgado Bernal’s plática methodology. The papers all examine and interrogate what methodology entails in the context of higher education.
