"Undocumented and Unafraid: Identity, Higher Education & Social Activism" Dr. Susana Muñoz, Assistant Professor of Higher Education, Colorado State University
Dr. Muñoz’s presentation addressed the process of how undocumented students “come out” and make meaning of their legal status within the context of higher education and social activism.
Dr. Muñoz’s scholarly interests center on the experiences of underserved populations in higher education with the ultimate goal of informing immigration policy and higher education practices. She focuses her research on issues of access, equity, and college persistence for undocumented Latina/o students.
