We are seeking chapter proposals for the book (Under)Represented Latin@s in STEM: Increasing Participation Throughout Education and the Workplace edited by Timothy Yuen, Emily Bonner, and María Guadalupe Arreguín-Anderson from the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching at UTSA. This edited book has been contracted with Peter Lang Publishing with an expected publication date in early 2018.

This edited book examines critical issues surrounding the underrepresentation of Latin@s in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the United States. This collection of scholarly chapters will explore a broad range of historical and contemporary issues surrounding Latin@ underrepresentation in STEM, spanning multiple contexts, grade levels, learning environments, learner ability, and STEM disciplines. The book will present research on evidence-based programs aimed at increasing Latin@ participation in STEM throughout the educational pipeline from the perspectives of teacher preparation, family and community involvement, and student engagement.

Sincerely,

Tim Yuen, Emily Bonner, and María Arreguín-Anderson
