在这篇客座社论中，我们对用于描述在美国具有拉丁美洲血统的人的术语latin<s:1>、拉丁裔、拉丁裔和西班牙裔进行了质疑，以更好地为工程教育奖学金和实践提供信息。作为被归类为拉丁裔/x/a/o或西班牙裔的社区成员，我们总是面临这样的问题：在我们的研究中应该使用什么术语，为什么？作为学者，我们也是这些社区的成员，我们弥合了从我们的生活经验和强加的现实中出现的矛盾，同时寻求参与从我们的“肉体理论”中出现的批判性对话（Moraga & Anzaldua, 1981）。虽然我们在这篇客座社论中将这些术语置于历史上，但作为一种抵抗行为，我们的标题将最新的术语（latin<s:1>）放在首位，继续挑战那些使我们的社区士气低落和压迫的历史术语（Revelo等人，2022）。与此同时，我们认识到，对于某些文化来说，选择一个术语而不是另一个术语具有现实意义和后果，例如成为歧视和压迫的目标，被视为违规者（Mejia et al., 2022），或被视为内部人士或外部人士。
In this guest editorial, we problematize the terms Latiné, Latinx, Latina, Latino, and Hispanic used to describe people with Latin American ancestry in the United States to better inform engineering education scholarship and practice. As members of communities that have been classified as Latiné/x/a/o or Hispanic, we are always challenged with the questions: What term should be used in our research, and why? As scholars who are also members of these communities, we bridge the contradictions emerging from our lived experiences and imposed realities while seeking to engage in a critical conversation emerging from our “theory in the flesh” (Moraga & Anzaldua, 1981). While we situate the terms historically in this guest editorial, as an act of resistance, our title places the most recent term (Latiné) first to continue to challenge historical terminologies that demoralize and oppress our communities (Revelo et al., 2022). At the same time, we recognize that for some cultures, choosing to identify by one term over another has real-life implications and consequences, such as being the targets of discrimination and oppression and being seen as transgressors (Mejia et al., 2022), or being perceived as insiders or outsiders.
