Learning Across Borders: Migrant Shelters as Spaces of Resistance

In this episode we sit down with Chicana scholar and Ph.D. candidate Juanita Sandoval to explore how migrant shelters along the U.S.-Mexico border can serve as powerful spaces for learning, advocacy, and transformation. Juanita shares insights from her Mellon-Fronteridades Fellowship research, reflecting on her time in Sonora, Mexico, where she examined the role of pedagogy and activism in supporting migrants. Tune in to hear how education, storytelling, and community care come together in spaces often overlooked and how this research can impact both sides of the border.
