66.021 - Latina/o Educational Landscapes in Chicago: Testimonios, Resistance, and Praxis

Mon, May 1, 8:15 to 9:45am, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Fourth Floor, Texas Ballroom Salon B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Chicago is an important city to examine the educational context, as it highlights the growing community of Latin@s outside of the Southwest, and contributes to the scholarship beyond the traditional Black/White racial framework used in the US (Fernandez, 2012). Although Illinois is home to the fifth largest population of Latin@s in the U.S. and the catalyst for nationwide urban educational reforms (Lipman, 2011), there have been few studies of the educational experiences of Latin@s in the Midwest. Situated in the Chicagoland area, this panel broadens the understanding of the diverse regional experiences of Latin@s and provides an opportunity to draw connections to the national Latin@ population.
