Description
Summary:In the first, Vincent Peña and Dominique Valle consider how Latinos responded to the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of law enforcement, Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Taylor at her home in Louisville, Kentucky. Pedota evaluates those experiences from the framework of neoliberalism, which, she writes, attaches market value to work that can be enumerated (e.g., how many students graduate in four years, how many journal articles or books have been produced) at the expense of creating a more equitable work environment or a more welcoming environment for students. [...]we welcome a new feature, the brainchild of the editorial board members and Stephen Pitti and Max Krochmal: Foro.
