The Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) is pleased to host a research colloquium featuring two CLLAS-funded scholars whose work examines how institutions shape Latiné experiences of equity, belonging, and representation across educational and workplace settings.
- Janette Avelar is a PhD candidate in Quantitative Research Methods in Education at the UO. Her research examines how innovative K–12 schools serving predominantly Latinx student populations design learning environments that center equity, cultural identity, and student belonging, particularly in the context of growing political pressures shaping educational policy and practice.
- Dr. Chanel Meyers is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the UO whose research explores how Latiné individuals evaluate corporate workplaces. Her work investigates how diversity signals, demographic representation, and organizational messaging influence perceptions of belonging, trust, and interest in potential workplaces.
Together, these scholars explore how institutional design choices in schools and organizations shape Latiné experiences of inclusion, representation, and opportunity. Please join us for this engaging discussion on equity across educational and workplace environments.
This event is presented by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) with support from UO’s Division of Equity and Inclusion.
