Events and Announcements
Our goal is to unify and expand our contributions to research, teaching, and service in the field of Latina/o and Latin American Education. The mission of this group is to work towards greater equity for Latina/o and Latin American populations throughout the Americas in three primary ways: first, to build knowledge in the field of education, health and psychology; second, to enhance the impact of that research by engaging directly with policy makers; and third, to apply that knowledge as we educate and promote bilingual professionals in these areas. Specifically, we have identified the following needs:
Greater engagement of local schools, colleges and Latino communities
Increased recruitment and retention of Latina/o graduate students
Increased funding for scholarships and research
Better visibility of our work in order to capture funding, generate new knowledge, and inform public policy
More collaboration between various groups within TC and across Columbia University to utilize existing resources and coordinate present efforts to increase visibility
