Join Dr. Nelson Flores as he discusses his recent book that examines the ways that institutionalizing bilingual education in the post–Civil Rights Era in the United States has served to maintain racial hierarchies. Using bilingual education as a point of entry, he critically interrogate how efforts of Latinx professionals working to transform the system in ways that promote equity led them to become the system, as they were gradually molded into agents of institutions that have the primary function of maintaining the racial status quo.

This is an in-person event. Lunch will be served.
