Abstract

ABSTRACT

Through the examination of historical place-based, culturally relevant, and responsive Chicana/o pedagogies, as exemplified in the formative 1969 El Plan de Santa Barbara, The Crusade for Justice, and la Academia de la Nueva Raza, the purpose of this project is to create a curricular sketch considering contemporary environmental and economic challenges facing Manita/o/Hispanic/Chicana/o student populations of New Mexico. If its ideals are to be generationally galvanized and sustained, every social movement must establish a semblance of Paideia, a space of grassroots educational initiative, where a marginalized community’s epistemologies are exhumed, reinvigorated, and passed to the next generation. This project draws from, then reimagines historical Chicana/o pedagogies of the Civil Rights Era. Its objective is the creation of experiential curricula and community programming designed to attune educators and policymakers to the kinetic cultural space and realities of the Manita/o expression of chicanismo in the village and urbanized cultural ecologies of New Mexico.
