[Coehd] MAS Decolonial Epistemologies Symposium

Dear colleagues: You're cordially invited to our upcoming MAS Decolonial Epistemologies Symposium on Friday, June 14th. We're excited that Dr. Marissa Muñoz, Assistant Professor in the Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Department at UTSA, will offer her keynote "Restorying the Rio Grande." She'll be accompanied by an esteemed guest panel of knowledge keepers including: Juan Mancias, chairperson and knowledge keeper of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation; Laura Yohualtlahuiz Rios-Ramirez, leader and spokesperson with Kalpulli Ayolopaktzin; Dr. Vanessa Quezada, Peace and Dignity Journeys Runner and Knowledge Keeper; and Pablo Mancias, Educator at Floresville Alternative School and Tribal Administrator for Carrizo/Comecrudo Tribe of Texas. This symposium will take place a day before our annual MAS Statewide Summit which will take place at OLLU this year (I've included a flyer for this event as well). Also, if you know of any educators who'd be interested in learning how to develop MAS curricula and engage in a Chicana/x/o Studies approach to teaching/learning, please invite them to our MAS Teachers' Academy. Participants can learn more about our academy and register through our website: https://sites.google.com/view/utsamas<https://sites.google.com/view/ut...;.
