Becoming Neoliberal Subjects: Power and Resistance in a Mentorship Program for Middle and High School Latino Boys

Zeus Leonardo, Professor of Education, University of California, Berkeley

My dissertation research explores the identity construction and learning experiences of Latino men and boys in schools. I bring an intersectional and political economic framing to this work and provide timely contributions to the growing conversation on boys of color and urban schooling. My postdoctoral project examines the professional experiences and classroom practices of queer, trans, and feminist-allied Latino men who are teachers.
