EDUC 131: Raza Youth in Urban Schools: Mis-educating Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x Communities (CHILATST 131)
This course focuses on the experiences of Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x youth in U.S. public schools. We will connect historical patterns with contemporary issues in some of this nations largest urban school districts in order to uncover the ways in which urban schools both reflect and reproduce structural inequalities that marginalize Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x youth. As we consider the origins and persistence of educational inequalities in relation to longstanding forms of violence, domination, and subordination, we will also highlight histories of activism and resistance, including organized struggles for educational justice in Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x communities. Issues to be addressed include school (de)segregation, standardized testing, educational tracking, unequal opportunities to learn, deficit perspectives, bilingualism and bilingual education, immigration and undocumented students, ethnic studies curricula, and culturally relevant/responsive/sustaining approaches to pedagogy. This course will invite students to visit and observe in urban school settings, interview key stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, and/or policy makers), and reflect on their own K-12 schooling experiences in relation to course themes.

EDUC 141: Counterstory in Literature and Education (CSRE 141E, EDUC 341, LIFE 124)
Counterstory is a method developed in critical legal studies that emerges out of the broad "narrative turn" in the humanities and social science. This course explores the value of this turn, especially for marginalized communities, and the use of counterstory as analysis, critique, and self-expression. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we examine counterstory as it has developed in critical theory, critical pedagogy, and critical race theory literatures, and explore it as a framework for liberation, cultural work, and spiritual exploration.

This seminar explores Counterstory, a methodology for exposing and challenging dominant cultural narratives about identities, events, and power. We examine counterstories in contemporary literature and media, examine the theory and craft behind them, and create original counterstories. You'll learn the method of counterstory not only to create your own, but also to share it with others in educational and other settings where stories are critical to social change-from journalism and documentary film to health, social justice, and community organizations.
