Abstract This reflection explores the contributions to this special issue in order to derive an over-arching sense on the many difficulties that Latinas attending universities designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) face in STEM fields where their abilities are not only questioned, but they also get marginalized, deprived of opportunities that are customarily available to their white, male peers. Notwithstanding their “HSI” designation, their systemic isolation and exclusion in Eurocentric institutions, while challenging, are frequently offset either by familial or cultural resources that allow them to persist. A major point is that though Latina students’ resiliency is a noteworthy attribute and research finding, it would be less necessary if university classrooms and departments themselves were more inclusive, affirming, and asset-based spaces to begin with.

STEM多样性和学生的拉丁裔/邻韧性：反思

摘要这种思考探索了对这一特殊问题的贡献，以便对拉美裔人进入被指定为西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）的大学在STEM领域不仅面临能力质疑，而且还受到质疑的诸多困难产生一种总体认识。被边缘化，被剥夺了白人男性同龄人通常可获得的机会。尽管指定了“ HSI”，但它们在欧洲中心机构中的系统隔离和排斥虽然具有挑战性，但经常被允许他们生存的家族或文化资源所抵消。重要的一点是，尽管拉美裔学生的适应能力是一个值得注意的属性和研究发现，但如果大学的教室和部门本身更具包容性，那肯定没有必要，
