MAS
Decolonial Epistemologies Symposium |
Dr. Dolores Calderon Estrada from Western Washington University will be delivering the keynote address. Her articles on
uncovering settler grammars in the curriculum and her work as a Chicana feminist and indigenous scholar will undoubtedly contribute to greater understanding on the importance of centering indigenous and Chicana/x/o epistemologies in school curricula.
Dr. Calderon will be joined by an outstanding teacher panel: Andres Lopez who teaches Mexican American literature at Stevens High School; longtime activist, Anita Exilda Cisneros who teaches 3rd and 4th grade bilingual education at Henry B. Gonzalez Elementary
School (Edgewood ISD); and BBL graduate student, Lucero Saldaña, English Language Coordinator and MAS instructor at KIPP Camino Academy.
Reception starts at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers and will end at 8:30 p.m. with a book signing by Dr. Calderon (co-author of Reclaiming the multicultural roots of U.S. curriculum: Communities of color and official knowledge in education).
