Ethnic Studies

Ethnic Studies Summit 2024

The Third Annual Ethnic Studies Summit, with a theme of “Student Power and Activism,” was held on March 6, 2024.

About the Summit

We were excited to host Xiuhtezcatl as our keynote speaker for the Third Annual Ethnic Studies Summit. As a hip hop artist, Xiuhtezcatl’s lyrics are “anchored by the Mexica roots of his father’s side and the environmental justice work his mother raised him in.” As a climate activist, youth leader, and author from a young age, and one of 2019’s Time Next 100, Xiuhtezcatl “connects people through popular culture and shares the message of his indigenous roots to better serve the planet and reimagine the future for his generation.”

Our annual event is meant to introduce and promote Ethnic Studies to our students so that they may walk away with a better understanding of how to apply Ethnic Studies to their education, apply it to their lives, and ultimately to take an Ethnic Studies course.
