Beliefs About Mental Illness In A Spanish Speaking Latinx American Sample, Michiyo Hirai, Serkan Dolma, Laura L. Vernon, George A. Clum Jan 2021

Beliefs About Mental Illness In A Spanish Speaking Latinx American Sample, Michiyo Hirai, Serkan Dolma, Laura L. Vernon, George A. Clum

Psychological Science Faculty Publications

The US Hispanic population is large and rapidly growing, with serious healthcare disparities. Alarmingly, 67% of Hispanic adults with a mental illness go untreated. Attempts to increase treatment rates have had limited success, likely partly due to stigma beliefs. There is an urgent need to develop and utilize a Spanish language stigma assessment tool. The current study is the first to do so, translating the Beliefs Toward Mental Illness (BTMI; Hirai et al., 2018) scale into Spanish (S-BTMI). Our psychometric findings with English-Spanish bilingual Latinx undergraduate students suggest that the S-BTMI can be a reliable measure of mental illness stigma. …


Philosophizing In Tongues: Cultivating Bilingualism, Biculturalism, And Biliteracy In An Introduction To Latin American Philosophy Course, Alexander V. Stehn Jan 2021

Philosophizing In Tongues: Cultivating Bilingualism, Biculturalism, And Biliteracy In An Introduction To Latin American Philosophy Course, Alexander V. Stehn

Philosophy Faculty Publications

This article describes my ongoing attempts to more successfully engage the full linguistic repertoires and cultural identities of undergraduate students at a “Hispanic Serving Institution” (HSI) in South Texas by teaching a bilingual Introduction to Latin American Philosophy course in the “Language, Philosophy, and Culture” area of Texas’ General Education Core Curriculum. By uncovering the diverse identities, worldviews, and languages of those who were historically excluded from the Eurocentric discipline of philosophy through the conquest and colonization of the Americas, Latin American philosophers offer us new ways of thinking and living by challenging Anglocentric language, philosophy, and culture. As part …

The Poetics Aesthetics Of Testimonios . Subverting “I” For Social “I/We.” Una Lengua Que Desquicia La Academia, Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Freyca Calderon-Berumen Sep 2020

The Poetics Aesthetics Of Testimonios . Subverting “I” For Social “I/We.” Una Lengua Que Desquicia La Academia, Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Freyca Calderon-Berumen

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

I/We are immigrants in the United States, passionately engaged in a decolonizing project, working with testimonios encargados. I/We respectfully chose to share them as POC epistemologies to correct its omission in most history and presence of millions of residents of this land. Based on this sharing, we also subvert the Western “I” for a community shared, social “I/We” and advance the poetics aesthetics of testimonios.


Decolonial-Hispanophone Curriculum: A Preliminary Sketch And Invitation To A South-South Dialogue, James C. Jupp, Micaela González Delgado, Freyca Calderón Berumen, Caroline A. Hesse Aug 2020

Decolonial-Hispanophone Curriculum: A Preliminary Sketch And Invitation To A South-South Dialogue, James C. Jupp, Micaela González Delgado, Freyca Calderón Berumen, Caroline A. Hesse

Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications

In our essay, we advance a preliminary sketch of decolonial-Hispanophone curriculum and extend an invitation for a South-South dialogue between students, teachers, or activist educators from distinct intellectual traditions of the geo-regions called “the Americas.” After sharing provisional definitions, we plant the problem of doing curricular-pedagogical work within a historical trajectory emphasizing historical colonies and present-day coloniality. Planted in this way, we provide a preliminary sketch of decolonial-Hispanophone curriculum as one dimension of a transnational, contextual, and relational decolonial project. From this sketch, we theorize three historicized concepts: (a) the historicity of decolonial thought, (b) mestizx conceptualization, and (c) communality/pluriversality. …


Autoethnography: A Self Reflection Of The Benefits In Attending A T-Stem High School, Adriana Garza Aug 2020

Autoethnography: A Self Reflection Of The Benefits In Attending A T-Stem High School, Adriana Garza

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this autoethnography is to analyze the benefits I obtained as a bilingual, first-generation, Hispanic student by attending a STEM high school. PSJA Thomas Jefferson T-STEM Early College High School provides an Early College experience as well as a Bilingual STEM environment in a district located at La Frontera. This autoethnography uses two techniques to collect data: artifacts and reflective journals. As the researcher, I self-reflected and analyzed my own success story which will be viewed through a Narrative Inquiry lens to answer two questions 1) to what extent has the STEM model/ curriculum influenced my academic …

Cultivating An Ethic Of Care At A Hispanic-Serving College Of Education: Individual Stories And A Collective Narrative, Karin A. Lewis, Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Jacqueline B. Koonce, Vejoya Viren Feb 2020

Cultivating An Ethic Of Care At A Hispanic-Serving College Of Education: Individual Stories And A Collective Narrative, Karin A. Lewis, Miryam Espinosa-Dulanto, Jacqueline B. Koonce, Vejoya Viren

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

The “ethic of care,” according to Sander-Staudt, is built on the “motivation to care for those who are dependent and vulnerable, and is inspired by both memories of being cared for and the idealizations of self”. Research on teaching behaviors that make a difference to student learning implies that good relationships with students and the ethics of care are important practices of teaching. However, these are not overtly stated, “possibly because the concepts are nebulous and more philosophical than pragmatic”. The impact of one’s teaching practice on students is revealed through meetings with former students who remember interactions, unrelated to …


Bilingual Teacher Educators At An Hsi: A Border Pedagogy For Latinx Teacher Development, Alcione N. Ostorga, Christian E. Zúñiga, Kip Austin Hinton Feb 2020

Bilingual Teacher Educators At An Hsi: A Border Pedagogy For Latinx Teacher Development, Alcione N. Ostorga, Christian E. Zúñiga, Kip Austin Hinton

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

As a borderlands’ institution, we are developing a mission and vision for our HSI identity in the college of education, as well as in our university. We envision pedagogical practices embedded in our teacher preparation that are context specific to our bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural community; one that not only prepares PTs to effectively teach all students, but also promotes strong values for equity and social justice. For our Latinx PTs, this aim has two purposes: 1) to tailor our educational practices capitalizing on their unique strengths and addressing possible challenges in their professional development, and 2) preparing them to …


The Hispanic-Serving College Of Education Special Interest Research Group Initiative: Building A Community Around A Question, Janine M. Schall, Patricia Alvarez Mchatton, Eugenio Longoria Sáenz Feb 2020

The Hispanic-Serving College Of Education Special Interest Research Group Initiative: Building A Community Around A Question, Janine M. Schall, Patricia Alvarez Mchatton, Eugenio Longoria Sáenz

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

This chapter aims to establish Hispanic-Serving Institution Special Interest Research Group (HSI SIRG) initiative as one way to become consciously skilled at addressing the question of what it means to be an Hispanic-Serving College of Education. While a fundamental component of the SIRG initiative was the need for accountability, the opportunity to provide various kinds of support was equally important. One common issue was overambitious research plans, with SIRGs proposing projects that would realistically take several years to complete. Other SIRGs realized that their proposed projects only shallowly addressed the focus of the SIRG initiative and more tightly aligned their …

Building Meaning For An Hscoe Designation: Learnings And Proximations, Patricia Alvarez Mchatton, Eugenio Longoria Sáenz, Janine M. Schall

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

G. Furman furthered R. J. Starratt’s work on ethical leadership, which called for an ethic of care, an ethic of justice, and an ethic of critique as necessary for authentic leadership in PK-12 settings. While essential, she found them insufficient in that they focused on the individual. The Hispanic-Serving College of Education community as a whole includes all our students, faculty, and staff, but people also belong to communities in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) beyond the university. Transforming the education of Latinx students has importance beyond the RGV. Along with the moral imperative of providing all students with a …

¿Cómo Nos Une El Nopal A Los Hispanos Que Vivimos En El Valle Del Río Grande De Texas?, Teresa Patricia Feria-Arroyo

School of Integrative Biological & Chemical Sciences Faculty Publications

“Le falta un grado para ser carne” solía decir mi papá cuando estábamos comiendo nopal. Innumerables los platillos que mis abuelas cocinaban con él. Tradición culinaria y medicinal que data de tiempos prehispánicos y que aún se pasa de generación en generación en la cultura mexicana. Con sus grandiosas adaptaciones ecológicas, propiedades medicinales, sabores y colores, el nopal es más que una planta—representa tradiciones, cultura, religión, y en una sola palabra, a toda una nación, pues es uno de los símbolos más importantes en México: ¡se encuentra al centro de nuestra bandera nacional! Tan fuerte es la influencia del nopal …

The Hispanic-Serving Designation And Educator Preparation, Patricia Alvarez Mchatton, Janine M. Schall, Eugenio Longoria Sáenz

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

The creation of the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) designation resulted from decades of advocacy efforts to ensure access to resources and recognition as institutions that served many Latinx students. Texas was at the forefront of efforts to create the HSI designation due to long-term lack of access to quality education, and negative stereotypes about the Latinx population, and an expectation for individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to assimilate into the dominant culture. Given that institutions of higher education achieve the HSI designation based on meeting a predetermined threshold, HSIs are highly diverse and serve a variety of missions. In …
