Critical Understandings of Latinx and Global Education Part II

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

This is the second of 3 proposed panels that will present a compendium of critical research on the Latinx population in the US and beyond. Whether they are first-generation immigrants, new immigrants, or native born, this research pulls from the authors’ and their students personal experiences and their rich and diverse cultures to connect with and inspire those interested in learning about the reality of the Latinx populations.
Furthermore, the research presented in this panel is dedicated to combating deficit perspectives among educators and the public. It has taken on the task of highlighting the knowledges and experiences of Latinx students and their communities as strengths and resources to transform curriculum, teaching, and schooling.
These presenters have crafted pedagogies and will highlight initiatives that directly work against hegemonic and colonizing practices and schooling. As a result, this panel critiques oppressive curriculum and instead recognizes the teacher as a critical actor.
