Abstract

The session covers a discussion of the educational process of higher education for Chicanas and other women of color as a trajectory of disillusionment. Aspects of this disillusionment stem from formal educational systems, such as the university and are perpetuated by classroom cultures, curriculum and pedagogical approaches.
