March 6th – 2026 ILACHE Conference at Roosevelt University
Presentation with Christopher Mendoza
Raíces en la Profesión: Identity, Imposter Syndrome, and Belonging in Higher Education
Grounded in the conference theme Raíces y Resistencia: Building Educational Equity Through Community Strength, this session centers a critical discussion on the tension between deficit thinking and the cultural wealth model in higher education. While cultural wealth frameworks are frequently embraced in student-facing work, deficit-oriented narratives often emerge in how higher education professionals understand themselves, colleagues, and institutional capacity. This session invites participants to acknowledge, examine, and reconcile these opposing frameworks within professional and academic environments.
April 19th – Grant Writing Workshop at Scissor & Fork
