Resisting Erasure by Tanya J. Gaxiola Serrano

Episode notes

Host Dr. Tanya J. Gaxiola Serrano launches Resisting Erasure with a foundational conversation on Critical Race Counterstories: what they are, where they come from, how they function as method and methodology, and where they’re headed. Guests Dr. Daniel G. Solórzano (UCLA) and Dr. Aja Y. Martinez (UIUC) trace counterstory’s intellectual genealogy from law and ethnic studies to education, share family-rooted storytelling lineages, and offer practical pathways for research, pedagogy, and future directions—archival work, visual studies, and beyond. The episode closes with a preview of Season 1’s doctoral student-produced counterstories.
