Professor Luis Urrieta is the inaugural Suzanne B. and John L. Adams Professor of Education at the University of Texas at Austin. He specializes in the study of identity with an emphasis on Chicanx, Latinx, and Indigenous (P’urhépecha) identities; Indigenous education, migrations and diasporas, and learning in family and community contexts. Urrieta is the author of the award winning, Working from Within: Chicana and Chicano Activist Educators in Whitestream Schools (2009, University of Arizona Press). His co-edited book with George Noblit is titled Cultural Constructions of Identity: Meta-ethnography and Theory (2018, Oxford University Press). As the son of migrants from rural Michoacán, his motivation for advocacy and work with communities stems from his family experiences dealing with the perceptions and often hostility toward Indigenous peoples, especially undocumented Indigenous migrants. His professional and academic work in education has been dedicated to raising awareness and valuing both Latinx and Indigenous migrant family and community knowledge as well as the importance of nourishing and supporting strong racioethnic and linguistic identities in Indigenous Latinx children and youth, while promoting and creating the conditions for high academic achievement.
