Same as SOC 278. This course will also investigate effects of educational inequalities on Latinas/os; the largest minority group in the nation's public schools. In many school districts and institutions of higher education, Latinas/os already make up the majority of the student enrollment. We will examine the following key questions: What role have schools played in Latino communities? How have Latina/o students and their families organized, resisted, and created changes to improve the educational attainment and experiences of Latinas/os?
