This paper addresses the role of cross-institutional collaborations among Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI). Specifically, we focus on the Enseñamos en el Valle Central Initiative—a five-year, Title V, Developing Hispanic Serving Institutions (DHSI) grant for recruiting and preparing bilingual, Latinx teachers with a strong sense of self and service to their communities. While California four-year state institutions have historically been at the helm of preparing bilingual Kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) teachers, this has not been the case for community colleges, which continue to be the first entry point into higher education for many Latinx communities. We discuss how the process of a two-week summer institute among two- and four-year faculty at two community colleges and one university expands conventional notions of teacher preparation, and how these non-normative approaches can lend to stronger pathways into the profession. Moreover, we share how our faculty development approaches disrupt the status quo in teacher preparation and how non-tenured Faculty of Color navigate the politics of disruption and how these race-gendered experiences hold relevance for how we understand teacher preparation and expanding access to underrepresented Teachers of Color into the teaching profession.

The recent outcome of 2016 US presidential election has heightened fear and angst among a growing sector of historically marginalized communities, evoking millions to take to the streets in resistance. This evolving political climate is ever more dened by voter suppression, control over women's bodies, anti-immigrant sentiments, and a growing presence of market-based, privatization agendas that prot o the disenfranchisement of communities of color. In the case of education, we continue to witness post-election trauma that leaves many children and youth in the crossres of harassment, hostility, and hate occurring in K-12 and higher education contexts.During the recent American Anthropological Association, annual meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Council on Anthropology and Education's (CAE) board members spent time discussing and sharing overwhelming feelings of outrage, fear, and anger related to this unfolding era of US politics that we all are forced to endure.This discussion was open to the general membership to create a safe space for the broader CAE community as we all try to nd ways to navigate an incoming administration with a platform and a cabinet riddled with concerns among progressives. In part, those in attendance discussed ways to respond to the current political climate and how as individuals and CAE as an organization will commit to increasing its eorts to ght oppression and to work for racial and social justice in concrete ways.
