Supporting SWANA Students
Presented by Hiba Abdeljalil
Disclaimer: Although there is movement to shift towards SWANA a lot of the resources provided is more from a MENA Lens because of lack of resources on SWANA.
We have often wondered why so many students from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are categorized as white in the census. When, this categorization wrongfully describes their lived experience. In this session, we will be learning about the history of MENA in the United States and how the White washing of MENA students has resulted in issues supporting them within Higher Education.
