How Schools Make Race examines how a bilingual-education school program in the US Midwest works as a racial project (a project that engages in racialization, the process of delineating racialized groups and hierarchies). It focuses on how the racially and linguistically diverse dual-language program constructs ideas about race and Latinidad, and forms the Latinx group. The lecture will be followed by a reception and author book-signing. Books will be available to purchase.
