Learning Latinidad: The Role of a Latino Cultural Center Service-Learning Course in Latino Identity Inquiry and Sociopolitical Capacity
Castillo-Montoya, Milagros; Verduzco Reyes, Daisy
Journal of Latinos and Education, v19 n2 p132-147 2020
College culture centers are safe havens for underrepresented students, yet we know little about them. Through a survey with open- and closed-ended questions, this exploratory study examined the experiences and learning of 9 out of 11 college students who completed an academic course offered through a Latino Cultural Center (LCC). Through analysis of open-ended responses, we found that these students (1) engaged in Latino identity inquiry; (2) developed critical consciousness; (3) developed sociopolitical capacity; and (4) viewed Latino faculty as valuable to their learning. Findings have implications for conceptualizing Latino identity inquiry and framing concepts for future LCC research.
