The first UC Davis Chicanx and Latinx Education Symposium engaged the question: What is Chicanx/Latinx Education in theory, research, and practice? The event brought together three interdisciplinary Chicanx/Latinx education scholar-activists to present their work in a research panel, dialogue with us, and participate in a mentorship session with undergraduate/graduate/professional students engaged in studies and work at this intersection.
The research panel was moderated by Melissa Moreno, PhD, Professor, Department of Ethnic Studies at Woodland Community College. María Cioè-Peña, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education spoke on “¿Soy Acaso Negra?: A Testimonio on the Erasure of Black Latines within, and beyond, Bilingual Education.” Laura C. Chávez-Moreno, PhD, Assistant Professor at the UCLA César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o & Central American Studies, addressed “Grounding Bilingual Education in Ethnic Studies.” And Jonathan Peraza Campos, MS, a Program Specialist at Teaching Central America, addressed “A Liberatory Education of the Global U.S. South.”
This event was co-sponsored by the UC Davis School of Education, the Department of Chicana/o Studies, the Davis Humanities Institute, and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
