Meet Melissa ✨

Melissa Palacios is a second year graduate student at the Teacher Education Program.
Fun fact: Melissa is a double Bruin 🐻

During the Exploring Identities Cohort, we will examine and reflect on our positionalities, a “concept that acknowledges that we are all raced, classed, and gendered, and that these identities are relational, complex, and fluid positions, rather than essential qualities (Martin & Gunten, 2002, p. 46). Our positionalities involve issues of privilege, marginalization, and power.

While folks are not required to sign up for every quarter, this cohort is designed to build on from previous cohorts.
Fall: My identity
Winter: Our identity
Spring: Identity and Social Justice

Hey UndocuBruins!🐻✨
We are so excited to start the academic year in community!

Stay tuned to meet our awesome mentors and join one of our cohort!
