Season 3, Episode 3 takes us to the next level of understanding servingness. In this plática, I talk to 5 educators, activists, artists, poetas, and storytellers who take us on a journey to understanding the embodiment of servingness, meaning it is lived out daily in all practices and ideologies at Chicano Student Programs (CSP) at UC Riverside. CSP has been embodying servingness for 50 years by design. The campus and the entire UC system can and should follow CSP, and so should our listeners. Dra. Arlene Cano Matute, a community based scholar, practitioner and mother serves as the Assistant Director of CSP where she nurtures a comunidad that leads the way for Chicanx/Latinx student success in the UC system. In this episode we learn about the Encuentros, Student Participatory Action Research, and Testimonios(ESPARiTU) research project documenting the historical and present-day experiences and trajectories of Chicana/o/x and Latina/o/x students at a UC HSRI. She is joined by 4 UCR graduates/alums, alexis meza, Ashley Nicole Diaz, Bibiana Canales, and Brenda De Angel Vega who share their stories of learning, growth, and healing under the care of their femtor Arlene, who embodies servingness con corazon. If you aren’t engaging students in HSI sensemaking, you should be, and this episode provides an example of what this looks like.
