[Contemporary Ethnography and Inequality Workshop](https://cei.hsites.harvard.edu/) presentation by [Laura Chávez-Moreno](https://chavez.ucla.edu/person/laura-chavez-moreno/), Assistant Professor at UCLA.

Join us for a talk with Dr. Chávez-Moreno on her book, *How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America*—recipient of the AAHHE Book Award by an Early Career Scholar! We will consider the ways schools shape ideas about race and, in turn, efforts towards educational equity. Through her talk, Dr. Chávez-Moreno will rethink race and reconceptualize Latinx as a racialized group—namely by shifting attention to how schools construct Latinidad (a concept about Latinx experience and identity) in relation to Blackness, Indigeneity, Asianness, and Whiteness.

(NOTE that this event is on Wednesday, and at a different location - Gutman Library 302)
