Congratulations to Citlalli Garcia and Brian Acosta, graduate students in Curriculum and Instruction, who have been awarded the Global Intersections Grant, a campus initiative by the University's Center for Global Studies to encourage multicultural, international, transnational, and global perspectives that promote understanding and aid in solving global problems through developing new research areas and projects of global importance.
Their award is centered on a planned two-day workshop and panel discussion happening in September 2023. The workshop will be dedicated to promoting interdisciplinary inquiry at the intersections of Indigenous language education, technology, and policy, as well as initiating an ongoing dialogue with scholars and activists across the Americas.
Panelists will include:
- Mexican UNAM-affiliated scholars of Indigenous language Elizabeth Alvarado Garduño and José Sánchez Barrera
- Cuitlahuac Martinez, an Indigenous language activist and educator based in California
- Local partners from the Center for Global Studies and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
This work aims to support Indigenous communities both in Latin America and in the diaspora.
