Biography:
Maria C. Malagón is the daughter of Mexican migrants. She grew up in Buena Park. She received her Ph.D in 2011 in social sciences and comparative education, and specialized in race and ethnic studies at UCLA. She completed a postdoctoral position with UC/ACCORD’s Pathways to Postsecondary Success project in 2013. From 2010-2015, she was an adjunct faculty member in the Chicana and Chicano Studies Department at CSUF. Her research interests examine various segments along the Latina/o educational pipeline, specifically by using feminist analysis to interrogate how discourses of racialized femininities and masculinities manifest in educational policy and practice. She has a professional background in gender education programs, high school outreach, and juvenile delinquency prevention and intervention programs. Her published work can be found in several education, social justice and legal studies journals. She is currently working on a book that explores the experiences of Mexican American girls in a California reformatory school during the 1940s.
