Latinx Student Activism, Institutional Power, and Cultural Resistance v2

Sat, April 11, 1:45 to 3:15pm PDT (1:45 to 3:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 306A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The papers in this panel assert that examining educational institutions as sites of assimilation and
student political activism—often expressed through community-driven media—remains vital to
understanding contemporary struggles over education, race, and youth voice. Whether in K–12
public schools, Catholic parochial institutions, or elite universities, the structural racism
embedded in these systems shaped both opportunity and resistance for marginalized
communities. Drawing on archival sources, oral histories, student newspapers, and speeches, the
panel reveals a layered historiography of student resistance and political power.
