The Richard Ruiz Scholar in Residence Lecture Series. A Critical Analysis of Two Decades of Struggle Over the Politics of Curriculum [Video Presentation]

Friends:

This event took place last Saturday, April 22, 2023.

Emilio Zamora and I are happy and very much honored to be this year's speakers for the Richard Ruiz Scholar in Residence program that includes a Lecture Series hosted by the University of Arizona. Our Zoom presentation is titled, "A Critical Analysis of Two Decades of Struggle Over the Politics of Curriculum [Video]."

Drawing, in part, from this timeline that I created, we are presenting on over two decades of work—that include Arizona. As you shall see, our Ethnic Studies advocacy, testimonials, writing, and knowledge production intersect with national and international events, social movements and policy agendas, including, if not leading up to, the reactionary politics of the 88th (2023) Texas Legislative Session, together with implications that we discuss.

Enjoy!
