Winter 2015 Schedule:

January 16th – Jesica Siham Fernández, Social Psychology, “Latina/o Children as Cultural Citizens: Membership, Sense of Belonging, Space and Rights”

Jesica Siham Fernández is a Ph.D. Candidate in Social Psychology with an emphasis in Latin American & Latino Studies (LALS). Her research focuses on social constructions of citizenship, specifically how people define, practice and embody citizenship in everyday life. Jesica is the recipient of the UC President’s Dissertation Year Fellowship. Her dissertation is a critical ethnography of Latina/o children’s cultural citizenship. In her work, she explores how fourth- and fifth-grade Latina/o children in an after-school program define the terms citizen, citizenship and rights, and how they enact cultural citizenship. Jesica will be discussing a chapter of her dissertation, which focuses on children’s cultural citizenship embodiment and processes (e.g. membership, sense of belonging, space and rights).
