Ethnic Studies, Critical Race Theory, and the Neoliberal University Symposium

Thursday, March 12, 2020 - 9:00am to 5:00pm

For years, various policies and practices have made it difficult for students, especially poor students of color, to obtain an education within the CSU system. From tuition hikes, to impaction, to the executive orders announced in fall of 2017, students have taken on the fight to create equitable educational opportunities. The symposium will focus on some of the barriers students face, including the intersections of racism and economics, as well as tools that empower students in these struggles, especially Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory.

Speakers include Melina Abdullah (CSULA), Christopher Newfield (UCSB), Daniel Sólorzano (UCLA), Assembly member Shirley Weber, and Senator Maria Elena Durazo, among many others.

A free film screening of “Fighting for Family” and a talk on local resistance to the deportation of Southeast Asian refugees with filmmaker, community activist, and educator Lan Nguyen.

FIGHTING FOR FAMILY is a story about the family separation caused by deportation. The film captures the love story of a young family who faces countless challenges, yet continues to be hopeful, resilient, and joyful. The film discusses U.S. imperialist war machine and the intergenerational harm that it inflicts, from the refugee flight to the school to prison to deportation pipeline, but also highlights the power of resilience and community resistance.
