What began as the first bilingual panel at #SELC2022 has grown into a broader movement to center Spanish-speaking communities in public administration scholarship and practice. This session speaks to both the Democratic Governance and Public Trust and Inclusion, Equity, and Social Justice tracks.

This panel builds on the volume Public Administration, Civic Engagement, and Spanish-Speaking Communities (@EmeraldPublishing.bsky.social).

This project was born out of the first bilingual panel at the #SELC2022 conference and would not have been possible without the collaboration, insight, and commitment of so many colleagues and institutions.

Such a great book. Check it out.
