Undergaduate Education

Jennifer Ayala, Ph.D., Publishes New Book

PAR EntreMundos: A Pedagogy of the Américas by Jennifer Ayala, Ph.D., associate professor of education, Julio Cammarota, Margarita I. Berta-Ávila, Melissa Rivera, Louie Rodríguez and María Elena Torre challenges the standard narratives of “achievement” to think about how Latinx students can experience an education that forges new possibilities of liberation and justice. The authors offer a framework for transformation by honoring their theoretical lineages, proposing a set of guiding principles, and sharing stories about collective social action within and outside Latinx communities.
