P

atricia Baquedano-López is faculty in Language, Literacy, and Culture (LLC), Social and Cultural Studies (SCS), and the Leadership for Educational Equity Program (LEEP). She is a linguistic anthropologist who examines practices of language and literacy socialization as they intersect with ideologies of language use, race, and class. Her analyses of classroom discourse facilitate an understanding of the ways educational policies construct practices of inclusion or exclusion, and of success or failure. She writes on childhood language socialization, the language of science classroom interaction and instruction in racially diverse classrooms, and on Latino parent involvement approaches in schools. More recently she has been examining the socialization of immigrant identities in the Maya diaspora.

Professor Baquedano-López has been an invited researcher at Université Nanterre Ouest-La Défense (Sociology Department), the Centre d'analyse et d'intervention sociologiques (CADIS) at L'École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), and Fondation Maison des sciences de l'homme in Paris, France. She is affiliated faculty of the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality; the Center for Research in Social Change; the Center for Latino Policy Research, and the Center for Latin American Studies. From 2007-09 she was chair of the UC Berkeley Center for Latino Policy Research.

In 2004 Professor Baquedano-López received the inaugural UC Berkeley Distinguished Faculty Mentor Award. She has been a fellow of UC ACCORD, the UC President's Post-Doctoral Program, and the Spencer Foundation. Her work has appeared in Linguistics and Education, the Anthropology and Education Quarterly, Text and Talk, the Bilingual Research Journal, the Annual Review of Anthropology, Theory into Practice, the journal of Mind, Culture, and Activity and in a variety of edited volumes.
