This methodological paper adds to the growing empirical research on plática as methodology and method through a critical lens when researching with Latine populations, thus cultivating equitable educational and research systems for the 21st century. Using our dissertation studies as examples, which focus on AfroLatine/a/o activists and queer and trans-Latine students, we demonstrate how using plática methodology and methods enables transformative ways to center and research Latine experiences.
