Quotes from the episode

Most people argue that Hispanic-serving institutions are only Hispanic-serving, or Latino-enrolling, because they enroll a critical mass of Latinx students, but don’t change what they’re doing.
-Gina Ann Garcia

Students become more critically conscious in a classroom where they get to explore social, cultural, political history of themselves or other communities, and they become action-oriented; they want to do something about it.
-Gina Ann Garcia

This idea of saviorism is not, that’s not liberation, right? That’s not liberatory outcomes.
-Gina Ann Garcia

If you’re in a place where you can do a lot more of the small breakout active learning, like that just hits your students of color, your Latino communities differently, right? Learning in community.
-Gina Ann Garcia
