Mexican American Studies

Mexican American Studies (MAS) is an academic discipline that explores the history, culture, contributions, and experiences of Mexican Americans and Chicano people. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of their social, political, and economic impacts within the United States. MAS often addresses issues like migration, identity, discrimination, and community struggle, fostering awareness and appreciation of this group's diverse heritage. By integrating these perspectives into education, MAS seeks to promote equity, cultural awareness, and empowerment for Mexican American communities, encouraging a more inclusive understanding of American history and society.
