Faculty from LaFamilia Management Scholars and allies discuss their editorial and reviewing experiences, providing editors’ perspectives on successful manuscript submissions, reviewing expectations, and developing proposals for special issues. This developmental training on best practices will appeal to both reviewers and authors. The session targets junior faculty, doctoral students, and post-doctoral students who are interested in studying the Latinx workforce, or career/professional development issues relevant to Latinx business school faculty and doctoral students. The panel of LaFamilia Management Scholars, an interest group associated with the PhD Project, and allies have editorial and editorial board experience, and as such will consider the unique academic challenges and opportunities of this social group. The Latinx (a person of Hispanic/Latin heritage in the U.S. cultural context, irrespective of sex or gender) population is the largest minority group in the U.S. and a rapidly growing student segment in higher education, but remains sorely underrepresented among business faculty. This PDW will support the career attainment of current Latinx doctoral students and faculty and allies who seek to support this underrepresented population. These future and current faculty can serve as role models for all students in front of the classroom, while providing historically underrepresented students a model of educational and career achievement, thus enriching the talent pipeline for organizations and higher education.
