How can we learn from the historic victory for Chicanx/Latinx students and ethnic studies education in Arizona?  How do we continue to survive, thrive, and strive for liberation in an era of hateful rhetoric and anti-intellectualism? How have ethnic studies and humanizing educational practices created a paradigm shift in producing excellent academic outcomes for Chicanx/Latinx youth?

This interactive and engaging keynote will also include a view into contemporary ethnic studies programs, which are leading the way in creating excellent academic and humanizing outcomes for Chicanx/Latinx youth, including the Twin Cities.
