Join us for a lecture by Laura Chávez-Moreno, an associate professor of Chicana/o & Central American Studies and Education at the University of California Los Angeles. 

In How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America (Harvard Education Press, 2024), professor Laura Chávez-Moreno uncovers how the complex interactions among educational practices, policies, pedagogy, language, and societal ideas interplay to form, reinforce, and blur the boundaries of racialized groups, a dynamic which creates contradictions and unintentional consequences in classrooms and communities committed to antiracism.
