Publications on Latine Identity and Education

Writings on Latine Identity and Higher Education: Exploring Identity and Education

Publication Description

As the first text within the Theological Education ¡Latinamente! series, “Reimagining Latinidad” lays the theoretical and historical frameworks for the series writ large. Edited by Maria Pilar Aquino and Greg Cuellar, essays within this volume push readers to critically examine what they believe about the Latine/Hispanic community and their relationship to theological education all while asking what it looks like have this community’s scholarly, epistemological, and lived contributions shift how we approach education, institutions, and leadership formation.

The text is divided into five sections that explore key aspects of Latinidad:

Afro-Latinidad and Theological Education
Sexuality, Gender, and Queerness
Evangelicals, Pentecostals, and Religious “Nones”
InterReligious and InterCultural Engagement
Interdisciplinary and Transnational Methodologies

Through these sections the text as a whole seeks to be at the vanguard of reconceptualizing not just Latinidad, but theological education writ large by critically asking whether we our institutions are serving the Latine/Hispanic community in its full diversity or a caricature of who the community is said to be. From that critical wrestling, we can build anew.
