Typically, student volunteers engage with patients, then consult with licensed preceptor volunteers to design treatment plans [ 3 ]. Patients at SRFCs often face one or multiple …

La participación como elemento clave en las escuelas democráticas
A veinte años de la muerte de Paulo Freire, rescatamos un elemento central de su pensamiento pedagógico: su convencimiento de que la educación puede hacer una valiosa contribución a la formación de sujetos democráticos y eventualmente a la construcción de una sociedad más justa y democrática. Freire decía que la educación no cambia el mundo pero cambia a las personas que van a cambiar el mundo. Así, es posible argumentar que la educación no democ…

The cultural production of Mexican identity in the United States
This paper examines how the cultural production of Mexican identity in the US media processes a Mexican threat narrative in the American public's mind. Racial profiling procedures utilized by the US Border Patrol that criminalize Mexican identity are used to illustrate the application of the Mexican threat narrative. The news media is treated as a primary data source because its portrayals are instrumental in processing perceptions in the public'…
Diversity as interest-convergence in academia
This paper presents a critical race theory story regarding diversity and affirmative action in academia. The story's purpose is to raise issues regarding the treatment of diversity as a commodity in academia and how white faculty seek to privilege themselves in the diversity discourse. The story raises questions regarding the costs and benefits of diversity and affirmative action for minority faculty. The story illustrates how white faculty privi…
The personal narrative as academic storytelling
Personal narratives are powerful tools that can be used to introduce competing mindsets into the academic discourse. They are especially powerful if they challenge a master narrative that seeks to portray the weak or powerless, such as Chicanos, in negative images or social contexts. This paper uses personal narrative to examine how Chicanos perceived the 1970s as a period of change in academe, one that would increase their presence and voice. Th…
Profiling Mexican American Identity
Racial profiling is a repressive social practice that uses group characteristics to individualize stereotypic behavior for minorities in American society. The practice of racial profiling victimizes minority persons to support a White hegemonic structure that promotes White values and beliefs as superior. The harmful effects of racial profiling on Mexican American social identity are discussed in this article. Several court cases are reviewed to …

Linguistic Diversity in the Workforce
The discussion in this paper focuses on the language rights of non-English and limited English-speaking workers in the U.S. workplace. By using Garcia v.

It is argued in the paper that English-only rules empower English-speaking workers in the workplace by curtailing the lang…

Academic Storytelling
The minority (nonwhite) can tell stories about institutional practices in academia that result in unintended benefits for the majority (white). One institutional practice in academia is affirmative action. This article presents a story about a minority applicant for a sociology position and his referral to an affirmative action program for recruiting minority faculty. One reason for telling the story is to illustrate how an affirmative action pro…
Slave executions in the United States
Virtually no death penalty research has focused on slave executions in the United States. To correct for this deficiency, this article constructs a descriptive profile of slave executions using M. Watt Espy's index of executions in the United States—better known as The Espy File. The construction of a descriptive profile of slave executions is important because analyses of capital punishment in the United States have not delineated the socio-hist…

Teaching Chicano Sociology
There is an academic stock-story that portrays ethnic studies classes as limited in substantive content, noncomparative, and only useful if they meet specialized curriculum needs. This paper discusses how a Chicano sociology class can be structured as a response to the academic stock-story. In addition, the paper argues the distinct advantages for academic departments that offer classes to meet a university's diversity requirement
