ABSTRACT

Faculty of the global majority (FGM) tend to experience the professoriate differently than people with multiple privileged intersecting identities. Their realities are also different than the largely white faculty. The author centers hope and provides strategies to help grow FGM’s presence on college campuses. She uses consejos (advice) Mexicanos and offers them as advice for early career faculty. She also models how cultural wisdom innate to marginalized communities can be helpful when navigating academia. Finally, she provides readers with advice and lessons learned so they may envision how their cultural intuition and epistemologies could serve as vehicles to help them navigate academia.
