Fulfilling the Legacies and Possibilities of Ethnic Studies in K-12 Schools: A Conversation with Ethnic Studies Professors

Thursday, May 6
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm PST

As Ethnic Studies has a growing presence in K-12 schools, there are dreams of great possibility and worry that it may not live its promise. Serving as an anchor and reminder of the essence of Ethnic Studies, we invite teachers, school administrators, community advocates, and teacher educators to this event that is co-sponsored by UCR's Graduate School of Education, Ethnic Studies Department, Chicano/Latino Student Programs, Asian Pacific Student Programs, and the Institute for Teachers of Color Committed to Racial Justice (ITOC). Designed as a roundtable, we will bring together various Ethnic Studies professors to operationalize what Ethnic Studies means to them, and to discuss their fears and hopes for K-12 Ethnic Studies.

Gomez's book project, El Barrio Lindo: Chicanx and Latinx Social Space in Forgotten Places of Postindustrial Los Angeles examines the ways in which people who have been dispossessed and displaced envision and enact cultural practices to take possession of concrete spaces across the city as strategies for refusing the unlivable destinies to which they have been relegated.

About GSOE's Ethnic Studies Speaker Series
Ethnic Studies is the critical, interdisciplinary study of race, ethnicity, and indigeneity with a focus on the history, experiences, and perspectives of Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, Asian American, Pacific Islander and other communities of Color within and beyond the United States. The Ethnic Studies Pathway at UC Riverside's Teacher Education Program (TEP) exposes students enrolled in the English and Social Studies credential/Master's to the principles of Ethnic Studies, exploring applications to K-12 school pedagogy and curriculum. One goal, among many, is to create a pipeline of educators who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to serve as Ethnic Studies teachers across the region, state, and country. To enhance the scholarly and activist nature of the work, UCR's TEP “Ethnic Studies Speaker Series” engages the Graduate School of Education and the broader community with the voices and work of critical scholars, practitioners, and community activists that enhance understanding of Ethnic Studies.

Questions about the Speaker Series and/or Pathway program can be directed to Dr. Rita Kohli<mailto:rita.kohli at ucr.edu>, associate professor and coordinator of the Ethnic Studies Pathway.
