We are incredibly grateful to be featured on the ¿Qué pasa, HSIs? podcast with Dr. Gina Ann Garcia.
The episode entitled, Sac State Using Student Voices to Transform HSIs is available to stream now, listen to it on any of the following platforms:
The podcast features four members of the Using Our Voices team, Dr. Amber Gonzalez, Professor at Sac State, Dr. Kevin Ferreira van Leer, Assistant Professor at University of Connecticut, Jacky Villalobos, alumna of Sac State, and Samantha Secundido, student at Sac State, who talk about the history of the project, their process as co-researchers, and some of the core findings. They share how their project caught the attention of the administration on campus, which has led to structural and policy changes for students. Participatory action research (PAR) has the power to transform HSIs, but it’s not easy work. This episode spotlights the processes necessary to engage in successful participatory action research work with students at HSIs. And if there is one thing all HSIs should do, it is listen to their students.
Thank you again Dr. Gina Ann Garcia for having us on the podcast!
