Community Engaged Research and Social Justice: Lessons learned from labor and youth organizing

RSVP HERE
Rigorous, theoretically informed empirical research can advance social
justice. Dr. Veronica Terriquez will discuss her experience conducting
community-engaged research involving students and community partners.
She will highlight lessons learned from collaborative research efforts
focused on informing policies and programs that address the needs of
immigrant, racialized, and low-income populations.
Dr. Veronica
Terriquez is the Director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center.
She holds faculty appointments in the César E. Chávez Department of
Chicana/o and Central American Studies and the Urban Planning
Department. Trained as a sociologist, her research focuses on social
inequality, civic engagement, immigrant integration, and youth
transitions to adulthood. Informed by over two decades of connections to
social justice movements in California, much of her research has
implications for local and regional policies affecting Latinx,
immigrant, and other low-income communities of color. Her research has
been published in the American Sociological Review, Social Problems,
Social Science & Medicine, Sociological Quarterly, Gender &
Society, Community Development, Education Policy, and other journals.
Additionally, Dr. Terriquez has co-authored with colleagues and students
over 50 widely disseminated research reports on labor, community, and
youth organizing. She is currently writing a book on how grassroots
youth organizing is shaping the political incorporation of second
generation immigrant youth.
