Latino, Latina, Latinx, Hispanic, or what? And what if they are gay, lesbian, bi, pan, or queer?

Labels such as Hispanic, Latino, Latina, Latinx, and Latine are not neutral descriptors of identities, but political categories shaped by colonial history, gender norms, and evolving social movements. Inclusive language is a fundamental strategy to promote dignity and human rights. #AcademicActivist

Termination is not always the end Maybe it is an inflection, but the work continues.

New in the Academic Activist:
The determination of health researchers isn’t just scientific—it’s deeply human. It’s about hope, healing, and never settling until we all have a chance at healthier lives. #AcademicActivist #CommunityHealthSciences

Happiness is good for health and an act of resistance Fear may challenge our happiness. Under these circumstances, we should remember our sources of joy.

New in the #AcademicActivist: Happiness is not a given; the best way to protect it is by doing our best and resourcing to the collective and what gives us purpose. Pursuing happiness in adversity is an act of resistance to protect our health. open.substack.com/pub/carlosrd...

Hope is health Hope is complex, but that should not curtail us from staying positive, even when the anticipated outcome is not guaranteed.

New in the Academic Activist: Many things can be taken from us, but hope. With hope, we can achieve health for all. #Hope #Health #AcademicActivist open.substack.com/pub/carlosrd...
