Abstract

The designation of Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) is based on a percentage of Latinx students enrolled, rather than how policies, programs, or curriculum impact these students’ education. We describe how one Hispanic-Serving College of Education sought to make the designation meaningful through a collaborative research initiative in which common threads of care, community, inquiry, and agency emerged, as a means to build a contextualized identity as an HSI.
