OPEN CALL FOR EDITED VOLUMES, TEXTBOOKS, AND FULL-LENGTH STUDIES

The Hispanics in Education and Administration book series aims to contribute to a national conversation about the fastest growing demographic in the United States by highlighting the latest research in theory and practice about Hispanics in education and administration. The editors are inviting practitioners and top researchers in the field of education and administration to collaborate and contribute to the improvement of educational opportunities for Hispanic populations.

Latinx** are the fastest growing demographic group in the United States. To address educational efforts towards this populations, we seek volumes, textbooks, and full-length studies focusing on the educational attainment of this group from Pre-K to Higher Education settings. (**Hispanic is a pan-ethnic term that generally refers to people of a Spanish-speaking background. It is used to refer to people of multiple racial and ethnic backgrounds. Often times, Hispanic and Latina/o/x are used interchangeably. Technically, Latino is also a pan-ethnic term that is used to refer to Spanish-speaking people from Latin America. However, as of late, people have started to replace the Latino referent with Latinx to ensure gender inclusivity. In this series of work, editors and authors may use Hispanic, Latina/o/x and/or other more specific descriptors (e.g., Dominican, Puerto Riqueño, Chicana/o/x, Mestiza/o/x, Chilean…)
