Elevating Marginalized Voices in Academe: Lessons for a New Generation of Scholars centers and amplifies the narratives that will transform the future of academia. These narratives invite the exchange of ideas and the sharing of lived experiences from Black, Indigenous and Latin* people. By challenging the romanticization of traditional scholarship, this text will open the readers' minds and hearts to the courageous moments documented in its pages. Cristobal Salinas Jr., PhD, Associate Professor, Florida Atlantic University; Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Journal Committed to Social Change on Race and Ethnicity Storytelling is powerful. The stories in this book provide heartfelt anecdotes of doctoral student experiences in the Academy. The book is a good reminder for doctoral students that they are not alone, that their work is valued and that what they are doing in their program is indeed needed. For students needing that extra push while earning their degree, please read as affirmation that you belong and you matter. Evette L. Allen Moore, PhD, Executive Director, Multicultural Affair & Inclusive Excellence, Arkansas State University This book is a gift that offers rich insights from a diverse array of scholars of color who have recently traversed the academy. Many of the narratives highlight promising practices for future graduate students of color or for those striving to support them. Readers will find advice for building one's doctoral committee, cultivating community, processing criticism, and saving space for self-care. This book is a love letter in which aspiring graduate students of color will find wisdom, penned with care and bravery; secrets that often go untold for fear of repercussion; and encouragement to always seek joy and know you belong.
