Integrative Studies

SZB 278, UT-AUSTIN CAMPUS
Dr. Aguilar-Hernández will discuss his research on the
history of the student-centered movement to departmentalize Chicana/o Studies
at the UCLA campus between 1990-2005. He uses critical race theory to
analyze oral histories and archival documents to ask: 1) What strategies did
student activists use to accomplish the establishment of a Chicana/o Studies
Department at UCLA? 2) What was the racial climate (local and national) during the time period and how did it impact
student’s organizing strategies? and 3) How did student activism impact the
future career choices of student leaders? Aguilar-Hernández studies student
social movements and their impact on higher education institutions. He
teaches courses in Education, Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies, Theory,
Qualitative Methods, and Gender and Sexuality.
