Patricia Baquedano-López examines the intersection of language, race, indigeneity, and immigration in her research and work in schools. A recent strand of her research focuses on indigenous students and families from Latin America in U.S. public schools. Her current project is funded by a grant from UC MEXUS-CONACYT (with Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez, University of Colima) and centers on return migration, transnational families, and education in the Maya diaspora Yucatan-California. The project brings together collaborators from the Mexican Migration Project and InstitutoNacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) in Mexico. The project builds on Professor Baquedano-López's three-year ethnographic case study funded by the Spencer Foundation addressing the educational experiences of indigenous Maya students and families in California schools.
