I’m Dr. Agustín Palacios, but my students call me “Profe.” In this space I will offer my thoughts and share some of the knowledge I have learned teaching Ethnic Studies for more than 15 years at the community college. I believe that Ethnic Studies is more than a subject; it is a practice grounded in community love and social justice. An Ethnic Studies education must affirm our belonging, our history, and our responsibility to each other.
