Recent census estimates place the percentage of Americans who are of
Latino/Hispanic origin at more than 14%, up from 12.5% in the 2000
census. Despite comprising this large and increasing proportion of the
population, Latinos continue to be severely underrepresented in the
discipline. Today Latinos comprise fewer than 2% of all political
scientists in the United States. This significant under-representation
reflects the many barriers that continue to exist in terms of educational
attainment among Latinos. In turn, our discipline is impacted by this
trend as our ability to adequately assess the political incorporation and
impact of this increasingly important minority population is seriously
limited.
