Celebrating Latinx scholarship at UC Berkeley 📚✨ What can letters, diaries and personal writings tell us about Latinx history? Through The Archive of Latinx Feelings, UC Berkeley undergraduate researchers working with Dr. Raúl Coronado (Associate Professor of English and of Spanish and Portuguese) are exploring 19th-century letters, diaries, notebooks and books to uncover personal histories and make archival materials more accessible. By combining archival research with AI-assisted transcription, the project is helping bring historical voices and experiences into new conversations. And that’s just one example of the scholarship happening across @ucberkeleyofficia! 💛 From immigrant youth experiences and higher education to environmental justice and culturally responsive mental health resources, Berkeley researchers are exploring questions that connect scholarship, community and lived experiences. 🔗 Explore the full collection via the link in bio UC Berkeley Equity & Inclusion graphic reading “Latinx Heritage Month – Research Highlight” in blue and gold. by @berkeleyvcei

What does it really mean to support the whole student? 💙 In this edition of What's the Word?, Dr. Julian Ledesma, Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Equity & Success, explores Empowering Holistic Counseling (EHC), an approach that recognizes that a student's academic journey is shaped by more than what happens in the classroom. From financial challenges and family responsibilities to emotional well-being, belonging, and career goals, EHC encourages us to recognize the different experiences and needs that shape a student's journey. By bringing together empathy, equity, institutional knowledge, and practical support, EHC offers a framework for helping students navigate challenges while building pathways toward success. 🌱 Rather than only asking: "How can we address a student's immediate concern?" EHC also asks: "How can we support the whole student and help them thrive?" 🔗 Read more at the link in bio. *** "What's the Word?" is a monthly column that introduces emerging language, concepts, and frameworks shaping equity and inclusion work. Each edition offers brief context, shared definitions, and practical insight to help our community build a common vocabulary and deepen understanding.
