On Friday, April 14, doctoral candidate Bobbie Bermudez Bonilla, Critical and Socio-Cultural Studies in Education, will give a noon talk on her CSWS-funded research, "Con Ganas: Latina Testimonios at an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution." Description: "My dissertation project focuses on the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, immigration status, language, and gender influence on students' educational trajectories. For the first phase of my dissertation, I conducted in-depth interviews with five Latina-identifying university students about the microaggressions they have encountered while attending a historically white university in the Pacific Northwest. In addition, I surveyed 80+ Latina students at the same university to analyze campus climate and how cultural community wealth (Yosso, 1995) has helped them overcome obstacles. These emotional written and audio testimonios will document the Latina educational experiences and help pinpoint what these students need to feel better supported at an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)." Sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women in Society. Attend in person, 330 Hendricks Hall, or by Zoom.
