A Fresh Look at Authentic Caring: Transformative Schooling of Latinx Youth, by Drs. Marnie Curry and Angela Valenzuela

***Free and open to the public. Please circulate widely.***

Please join us at a Freedom School panel discussion on Tuesday, February 15^th, 5 PM CST / 6PM EST to discuss Seguín High School (pseudonym) featured in Subtractive Schooling: U.S. - Mexican Youth and the Politics of Caring

 and Molina High School (pseudonym) featured in Dr. Marnie Curry's recently published book, Authentic Cariño: Transformative Schooling for Latinx Youth that I encourage you to buy. To prepare for this conversation, you can also download and read this summary of Subtractive Schooling [pdf] from researchgate.net.

Dr. Curry's ethnography of a school in a northern California school provides a rich counter-narrative to the subtractive schooling experiences observed at Seguín High School in Houston, Texas. She also provides an elegant framework that she terms, "authentic cariño" that provides conceptual, theoretical, and empirical depth to the concept of authentic caring.
