Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to highlight Mexican American Studies programs in community colleges, a sector where Ethnic Studies has largely gone unstudied. Drawing on interviews from 13 faculty members across Texas, this study describes these instructors’ approach to teaching and the impact they feel this type of curriculum has on students’ academic journeys. The findings suggest that MAS curriculum has a positive impact on Latina/o/x students’ cultural pride and helps them connect their racial and cultural background to their education.
