Journal of the Latino Research Center

Border-Lines is an interdisciplinary and intersectional academic journal dedicated to the dissemination of research on Chicana/o-Latina/o cultural, political and social issues. Border-Lines is a refereed journal that seeks to publish scholarly articles drawn from a variety of disciplines such as anthropology, education, geography, human health, literary and cultural studies, political science, social work and sociology. Articles, poetry, prose and testimonials are accepted in English and in Spanish in APA style formatting and approximately 150 pages in length. Submissions can be emailed to the Latino Research Center.

New Border-Lines Volume XII now available!

"They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."

Looking at the cover of Border-Lines: Journal of the Latino Research Center Volume XII, we cannot imagine a more expressive image to communicate the collected works included in this volume. For many within the Latina/o/x community within the United States and throughout the world, we KNOW that our children, our families and our people are being held in cages. In the shadows and in legal limbo. Family Separation Detention Centers, as an example, cite widespread physical, mental, public health, sexual abuses and continued medical assaults like forced sterilization. It feels like they are trying to bury our dreams and opportunities. Indeed, it feels like our intersectional Latina/o/x communities are under assault in the streets, in our professions and certainly, in our schools and places of higher education. This cover image was created by artist Nerina Canzi and it has inspired, pushed and challenged us throughout this editorial process, like seeds freshly placed in rocky or sandy soil. We watered this volume with a focus on education and social justice, and we tended it night and day with an activist spirit knowing that this volume is a response to this political moment we find ourselves in. Like the miracle of life, our commitment, care and respect for these children, women and families sprouted green shoots. They didn't know we were seeds. We grow when confronted with adversity. Within this volume, we offer a sustained discussion of the social science method of testimonio across multiple research reports and poetry, as well as cutting-edge research on Latina/o/x experiences in academia and the current political climate in the United States and across the world. Like the image on the cover of this volume, we offer our community a rainbow blessing from the eastern horizon; sun shining like corn hugging on the stalk. Yellow growing, new beginnings, hope emerging from the husk-¿Nos entiendes?
