The Latinx Guide to Graduate School

<p>In <i>The Latinx Guide to Graduate School</i> Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales and Magdalena L. Barrera provide prospective and current Latinx graduate students in the humanities and social sciences fields with a roadmap for surviving and thriving in advanced degree programs. They clearly document the unwritten rules of graduate education that impact Latinx students, demystifying and clarifying the essential requirements for navigating graduate school that Latinx students may not know because they are often the first in their families to walk that path. Topics range from identifying the purpose of graduate research, finding the right program, and putting together a strong application to developing a graduate student identity, cultivating professional and personal relationships, and mapping out a post-graduate school career. The book also includes resources for undocumented students. Equal parts how-to guide, personal reflection, manifesto, and academic musing, this book gives a culturally resonant perspective that speaks to the unique Latinx graduate student experience.</p>

<p><div>"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 carino, the authors validate and lift Latinxs as having a 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."</div></p>
