Latinx Experience in Education

The course examines the social-historical, cultural, and political contexts that shape the educational experience of the Latinx community. Using critical race theory, we pay attention to issues of cultural identity and agency as we move across various geopolitical dimensions of contestation, resistance, and immigration, including the southwestern U.S. and new Latinx diaspora spaces - namely the U.S. South. Including critically exploring PreK-12 schools, higher education, and social initiatives to address inequities in education.
