At Hispanic-ServingInstitutions (HSI’s henceforth), institutions of higher education in which at least 25% of theenrolled students are Latine or Hispanic, the work of Latine and Hispanic TFF becomes anintegral part of meeting the mission of serving these traditionally underrepresented students.Servingness (Garcia et al., 2019; Garcia, 2020) 4 According to data from ASEE (2018), Latine and Hispanic assistant engineeringprofessors only accounted for 5.4

relatability between the scholarand their surrounding environment. Two intersecting themes that emerged from Yadav et al.’s (2020) study are the value offamily orientation and intersectionality, unlike Crenshaw’s (1989) well-known definition ofintersectionality, which examines how U.S. structures frame identities as isolated and mutuallyexclusive resulting in the theoretical erasure of multiple minoritized identities (Crenshaw, 1989,p. 139; Carbado et al., 2013; Harris & Patton, 2019). Yadav et al.

the Hope Center for College,Community, and Justice, which added questions about caregiving status to its survey in 2019.[3]In the Hope Center’s survey, about 16% of the 23,000 respondents identified as CSt. The majorityhad significant financial challenges: 53% were food insecure and 68% were housing insecure;they also found that CSt were more likely to be female-identifying and from racially minoritizedbackgrounds. While CSt face many challenges, they also have, on average, higher GPAs thanother students. [2] This data suggests both the challenges and the assets of CSt. Serving thispopulation well requires a better understanding of how these and other factors contribute to theiracademic experience.

Astudy by Love et al. found that 75% of students who self-disclosed a disability in a survey, chosenot to inform their instructor [2]. Similarly, UIUC’s 2019 survey found that 8% of students hadindicated having a disability while 28% of them stated their disability needs were not being met[3]. Additionally, Dewantoro et. al. found that SWD were less prepared for online courses, whencompared to SWOD [4]. These studies highlight the need to further investigate whichinstructional features can foster success for SWD, especially when a large proportion mayhesitate to disclose their disability

more than punishing a wrongdoer, justice isachieved when equity is restored, when relationships are repaired, and when collective decision-makinghas been invoked. We follow Braithewaite[21] in imagining that restoration focuses on the victim, takingthe harmed individual as the central driver of decision-making.The case described above offers an example of epistemic violence, and demonstrates the need forrestoration and repair that is driven by the victim (i.e., Chloe). As Walton et al[22], [23] (2019) articulate,this is one strategy for moving from recognizing injustices to replacing those unjust practices with newones that have been co-constructed with coalition members or victims.

demands (assignment, projects, internships, etc.), and the social pressures of engaging withpeers, and faculty. The microcosm of the college campus can be challenging for students, where some areleaving the familiarity of home and family to join spaces where they can be isolated. Prior researchsuggests that being socially connected can help to alleviate stress (Achat et al., 1998). Research alsoshows that minoritized student populations experience more barriers to persistence in STEM highereducation compared to white students and certain Asian populations due to the added stress of racismfaced by these populations (Harper, 2010; Pawley, 2019). Racial stress can manifest due to phenomenalike isolation, stereotype threat and microaggressions at

In the United States, approximately five million residents are of Puerto Rican descent,accounting for 1.8 percent of the overall population in 2019 [5]. The phenomenon of labormigration of different diasporas in the construction sector may be traced back to the migrationsthat occurred during the colonial era.
