Overview

The Mexican American Studies programme is offered by the Mexican American Studies department at The University of Arizona.

The Mexican American Studies programme was founded in 1968 by a group of committed community activists, students, and educators in response to community and student demands for self-determination.

Key Features

The Mexican American Studies programme does this through decolonial epistemologies, pedagogies, and scholarship located at the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. We consider social change imperative for the empowerment of Chicanx, Mexican, Indigenous, and Latinx populations who are disproportionately impacted by legacies of colonialism, racism, patriarchy, and their contemporary manifestations.
