Estás en su Casa: "Freedom Dreaming" Liberation for Latinx Students in Residence Halls
Jackson M. Matos
Journal of College and University Student Housing, v50 n3 p56-69 2024
Freedom dreaming offers a new paradigm that centers the experiences and realities of Latinx students on college and university campuses and re-imagines residence halls as liberatory spaces. Referencing the legacy of racism and the experiences that Latinx students have with microaggressions and other forms of oppression, this article highlights how specific models like Yosso's cultural wealth framework and Latinx values like familismo can be used to create liberatory spaces in residence halls. Residence life should include opportunities for staff to recognize, examine, and respond to microaggressions and work to create spaces where Latinx students can share their culture and life experiences and feel more closely connected to the larger residential community.
