Panel Abstract
Comparative Educational Challenges and Opportunities of African Descendants in Latin America: New Perspectives and Different Possibilities
Beyond the details of oppressions, what do educators and researchers know about the comparative educational challenges that African descendants in Latin America confront in their quest for education participation and outcomes? Controlling for cultural differences, what can be learned from the connected experiences of African descendant populations that can help illuminate or explicate the pattern of exclusion not only in Latin America but also for other dispersed African descendant populations globally? What are learned lessons that can be instructive and utilized to address common educational challenges and opportunities for Latin American and other dispersed African descendants globally? This presentation will address these questions from a solution focused organizational perspective.
