The Pluralism, Inclusion, and Equity (P.I.E.) series offers workshops and trainings designed to increase our intercultural proficiency so we may provide effective teaching and support services for our diverse student body.
Since the summer of 2021, critical race theory (CRT) has garnered much media and political attention. This presentation will discuss the origins of critical race theory and provide examples of how it is used (and not used) in schools as well as in jurisprudence practice. The attacks by media and political pundits will also be addressed. The main objective of this presentation will engage the need for educators to think critically about the topic of race in schools.
Presenter:
María C. Malagón is an associate professor of Sociology at California State University, Fullerton. She is a native of Buena Park and the daughter of Mexican migrants. Dr. Malagón received her doctorate from UCLA in Social Sciences and Comparative Education, specializing in Race and Ethnic Studies. Her research interests examine various segments along the Latinx educational pipeline, interrogating how gendered discourses of racialized femininities and masculinities manifest in educational policy and practice. She has a professional background in gender education programs, high school outreach, and juvenile "delinquency" prevention and intervention programs. Her published work can be found in several education, social justice and legal studies journals. She is currently working on a book that explores the experiences of Mexican-origin girls in a California reformatory school during the 1940s. Malagón is also engaged in a participatory action research project with court-involved and system-impacted youth who are returning to school. She draws from the oral histories of youth to inform restorative and transformative curriculum to better engage this population.
