SUMMARY:Book Talk: Learning to Lead with Dr. Veronica Terriquez
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Labor and Community and UCSC Sociology Department welcome Dr. Veronica Terriquez for a discussion on her recently published book\, Learning to Lead: Youth Organizing in Immigrant Communities. The event will take place on Monday\, June 1 at 12pm at the Rachel Carson Red Room. \nChildren of immigrants make up more than one in four people in the United States under the age of thirty. Amid today’s multipronged attacks on immigrant communities and growing threats to democratic participation\, these young people often encounter significant barriers to political participation. Despite these challenges\, some children of immigrants and refugees engage in nonpartisan grassroots campaigns\, addressing issues such as education\, health\, environmental justice\, immigrant rights\, housing\, and voting rights. In Learning to Lead\, sociologist Veronica Terriquez examines how youth organizing groups facilitate the civic and political engagement of low-income\, second-generation immigrant adolescents\, enabling them to collectively exercise power alongside their non-immigrant peers and adult allies. \nAbout the Author \nDr. Veronica Terriquez is professor of urban planning\, Chicana/o studies\, and Central American studies at UCLA and serves as the director of the Chicano Studies Research Center. A sociologist by training\, her research focuses on social inequality\, civic engagement\, health\, and youth transitions to adulthood among Latinx and other diverse populations. She has extensive experience working with a broad range of community stakeholders\, having partnered with youth\, labor\, arts\, education\, health and local government institutions. She is an expert in participatory action research (PAR)\, and has co-authored with colleagues and students over forty widely disseminated research reports on labor\, community\, and youth organizing. In 2021\, she received the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education University Faculty Award and the American Sociological Association Award for Public Sociology in International Migration.\n\n
