Add to:

Michelle Espino will be the speaker of the February 7, 2017, talk The People: Understanding Latina/o Educational Pathways From the Perspectives of Scholar and Subject of Inquiry, held at the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Illinois.

Speaker Information:

Michelle Espino

Drawing from critical race methodologies and Chicana feminism, Dr. Espino will discuss the slow advancement of Latina/o students, administrators, and faculty along an educational pipeline that is rooted in historical and current inequities. She will emphasize the critical nature of research that co-constructs and co-interprets the realities experienced by participants and the researcher at particular moments in time and across familial, community, and educational contexts. Dr. Espino will discuss the responsibility of offering scholarly work with care and respect; attending to power dynamics as interviewer, narrator, and subject; and weaving together participants’ lived experiences and her own in order to transform traditional paradigms and practices that hinder Latina/o educational attainment.
