Motivational, Identity, and Self-Regulatory Experiences in the Context of Ethnic Studies Classes for Latinx High School Students
Background: In consideration of the central role of motivation to academic (and other) outcomes, the present study is part of a larger two-year project wherein we apply race-reimaged/race-focused perspectives to examine the ways ethnic studies promote motivation outcomes for Latinx youth. In the first year of the project, we examined curiosity as a central outcome in ethnic studies English language arts courses. Here, we focus on findings from th…
Tobacco Use, Experiences and Knowledge Among Indigenous Mexican Agricultural Workers
The unique culture and languages of Indigenous Mexican immigrants to the United States, a substantial portion of the nation’s agricultural workforce, has limited participation of this population in tobacco and other health related research. Our established community-academic team [Mixteco Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) and UCLA] developed and conducted a community survey (n = 200) from February – October 2024, in Spanish (n = 145),…

Anthropological Approaches to the Study of Education
The End/s of Anthropology and Education

Latinas' Practices of Emergence
In this article, we attempt to map out the “in-between” space between global and cultural narratives that mediates women's educational trajectories. Case studies of women living on the U.S.–Mexico border make visible these spaces, sites of “practices of emergence”: the practices that emerge from incommensurable economic demands and social prescriptions and produced in the act of social survival. In negotiating both global and cultural narratives,…
Funds of Knowledge
Disciplining the Discipline
Disciplinary knowledge in anthropology occupies a unique position in relation to quality education: anthropology in education and the anthropology of education.

Bridging Funds of Distributed Knowledge
The work in this article has a basis in a long-term research paradigm investigating the "funds of knowledge" of diverse populations. This conceptualization adopts an anthropological perspective for viewing the households of low-income and minority students as repositories of diverse knowledge bases. In the BRIDGE project, the focus has been on understanding the mathematical potential of households, as well as "mathematizing" household practices. …

Frequencies of HLA-A and HLA-B alleles in a Mexico City mestizo sample
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of HLA-A and HLA-B antigens in a sample of the Mexico City Mestizo population. Previous similar studies were done by other authors in nonrelated individuals, while the present investigation was performed in families (parents and offspring), and therefore, a more accurate estimate of gene and haplotype frequencies was obtained. The predominant antigens in descending order are A2, A24, and …
Contestation and Accommodation in Parental Narratives
Funds of Knowledge for Teaching in Latino Households

Teachers' qualitative, ethnographic study of their own students' households has unfolded as a viable method for bridging the gap between school and community. The focus of the home visit is to gather details about the accumulated knowledge base that each household…

Lupita, a third-grade student, pulled up a chair to a table and sat next to some classmates. She was doing research on the Sioux as part of a broader classroom project studying Native Americans, and had spent part of the morning selecting books from the school library with information about that cultural group. The students themselves had selected Native Americans as the general topic of study and were doing independent and collaborative research…
