Part of Exploring Our Roots Event
Once an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala and raised in Richmond, California in a family of eight, Dra. Aurora Chang is now an assistant professor where she teaches coursework on multicultural education, school reform, undocumented students, Chicana Feminist Epistemology, and urban schooling. Her research focuses on the intersection of education, identity and agency within traditionally marginalized communities. Currently, her focus is on undocumented students’ paths of educational survival, resistance and persistence, how these experiences affect the “American” sociopolitical landscape and what educators can do to support them.
