In this presentation, Dr. Quan explores raciolinguistic ideologies that co-naturalize Latinx/Hispanic identity with Spanish and mestizaje and invisibilize Latinx/Hispanic communities such as Asian Latinxs, Afro-Latinxs, White-passing Latinxs, non Spanish-speaking Latinxs. She urges researchers and practitioners to critically consider the racial, ethnic, and linguistic assumptions that underlie the field of Spanish language education and the resulting pedagogical implications.
