Consequences of the terms "Latinx" and "Latine" in educational contexts

Despite growing use of the term “Latinx” in higher education, only four percent of Hispanic/Latino(a) Americans self-identify as such. Psychologists Kimberly Rios and Michael A. Zarate will examine the relationship between the use of the terms “Latinx,” “Latino/a,” and “Latine” in colleges and universities and Hispanic/Latino/a American students’ feelings of belonging, particularly among LGBTQ+ Hispanic/Latino(a)s. They will conduct surveys and survey experiments for their study.
