Description

In this episode, Daisy Astudillo sits with Jonathan Peraza-Campos, a Central American educator, organizer, and researcher based in the Buford Highway corridor. This conversation is really about deconstructing and decolonizing the education system in the area, especially for Latino/x students. Jonathan shares with us what he believes is missing in education systems, what needs to change, and why it is important to move away from Eurocentric forms of education and towards a comprehensive, inclusive, and racially-conscious structure. 
If you are interested in better understanding the complexities of education for multicultural communities in the South, this is an episode for you.
