- Luis's professional webpage
Note: Drawing on Gutiérrez (2013), the term Latin@ (which you will hear Luis pronouncing in the episode) decenters the patriarchal nature of the Spanish language that traditionally groups Latin American women and men into a single descriptor Latino, denoting only men. The @ symbol is meant to allow for gender inclusivity.
