Book Talk: Laura Chávez-Moreno Presents "How Schools Make Race"

Laura Chávez-Moreno, assistant professor in the departments of Chicana/o and Central American Studies and Education, will present her new book examining the pivotal role schools play in shaping concepts of race and Latinidad.

Cosponsored by the Latino Policy and Politics Institute, the UCLA School of Education and Information Studies, the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies, and the CSRC.
