Charlotte Auh
M.A. Student
cauh@unm.eduCharlotte Auh was born and raised in Albuquerque to a wonderful mixed-race Nuevomexicana and South Korean family. She is currently in the first year of her M.A. in Chicano/a studies. She recently graduated from UNM as a double major in Honors Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts and Elementary Education. As an undergraduate, Charlotte was a Mellon Mays fellow where she researched the educational experiences of mixed race Hispanic-Asian, what she calls “Hispasian”, students in New Mexico. Her other research projects have included the construction of a nuclear-based 8th grade history curriculum and an analysis of Rudolfo Anaya’s student course evaluations during his tenure at UNM. Charlotte’s research methodologies are based in Critical Race Theory, specifically AsianCrit and LatCrit, and a desire to unsilo institutional knowledge and integrate the work of the university with the work of the community. She is passionate about understanding and engaging with the academic identities and experiences of students of color through both a student perspective as a Hispasian student herself, and an educator perspective through coursework on critical pedagogies and field experience with students aged 3-18.
