Civics and Latinidad: Letters to the past with hopes to the future

Gabriel Rodriguez, assistant professor in the Department of Education Policy, Organization & Leadership has co-written a chapter in a book titled Civic Engagement in Communities of Color: Pedagogy for Learning and Life in a More Expansive Democracy, published by Teachers College Press. In this chapter, Rodriguez and his co-authors focus on what K-12 educators can learn and accomplish by having a more nuanced understanding of Latinx students and the communities they live in order to construct more asset-driven approaches to civic education.
