This article focuses on the presence and experiences of Latina academics in the U.S., especially those who serve in Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Following the theme of this special issue related to Women of Color Faculty's "Testimonios" and "Laberintos," the authors add to the notion of academia as a labyrinth ("laberinto"), suggesting that it is a pathway with many twists and turns, each of which presents an opportunity, a possibility, and of course, a responsibility. Based on a review of literature and a fresh analysis of some of their previous work, the authors employ critical neo-institutional (CNI) and intersectionality theories to examine the experiences of Latinas as they navigate this labyrinth.
