The overarching mission of the Department of Chicano Studies, Languages, and Linguistics is to promote multilingualism, multiculturalism, and multiliteracy. Through cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on culture, literacy, and language processing and production in multilinguals, the Department aims to create and disseminate knowledge about cultural identity as well as the linguistic, cognitive, and social processes that influence language attainment, language use, and language maintenance. By integrating digital humanities, the Department leverages technology to analyze, preserve, and share cultural and linguistic knowledge, enhancing its accessibility and impact.
