“…Further, the "script" Emma referenced may also be shaped by the unspoken reality many faculty of color face, particularly at selective universities. Faculty of color face overt and covert racism, are beholden to represent one's race or ethnicity on multiple committees, suffer from negative or unintended consequences of being seen as an affirmative action or target-ofopportunity hire, and feel pressured not to show preference for students who look like them (Garrison-Wade, Diggs, Estrada, & Galindo, 2012;Gomez, Ocasio, Lachuk, & Powell, 2015;Trower, 2012;Turner & González, 2011;Valverde, 2003).…”

In this article, I examine three Latinas’ early educational experiences, key individuals who shaped their academic paths, their mentorship influences, and the policies and programs that propelled them to complete their doctoral studies. I offer an in-depth analysis, situated in Latinx critical theory (LaCrit) and Chicana feminist theory, of a group of Latinas in the academy, the individuals, education policies, and institutional resources that shaped that their trajectories. I discuss two findings that emerged in their early and doctoral education experiences: the role of education policies and programs as experienced by them, and how race and racism intersected with their educational trajectory. I offer two recommendations to improve pathways for Latina doctoral students: continued advocacy for education policies that widen opportunities and implementation of asset-based mentoring programs.

This chapter explores counseling research emphasizing depression, anxiety, and behavioral changes due to microaggressions. Other consequences discussed include academic stress and a lack of career advancement resulting from feelings of isolation, sense of belonging, low self-esteem, lower grades (students), and fewer opportunities for career advancement (faculty). Additional investigations include the role of exclusionary institutional policies and practices on minority faculty and student experiences. Additional discussions include same-race mentoring along with how microaggressions and the resulting consequences influence the culture of higher education institutions. In conclusion, best practices and practical applications recommend how to approach equity and inclusion in higher education.
