Ethnic Studies Summit 2024
The Third Annual Ethnic Studies Summit, with a theme of 鈥淪tudent Power and Activism,鈥 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鈥檚 lyrics are 鈥渁nchored by the Mexica roots of his father鈥檚 side and the environmental justice work his mother raised him in.鈥 As a climate activist, youth leader, and author from a young age, and one of 2019鈥檚 Time Next 100, Xiuhtezcatl 鈥渃onnects people through popular culture and shares the message of his indigenous roots to better serve the planet and reimagine the future for his generation.鈥
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.
