Daniel G. Solórzano is a American educator and researcher, known for his work in critical race theory, racial microaggressions and microaffirmations, and critical spatial analysis.
Early life and education
Solórzano grew up in Los Angeles, CA. He earned his Ph.D. in the Sociology of Education in 1986, and his M.A. in Educational Policy in 1983 from Claremont Graduate University.[1] He received his M.Ed. in Urban/Multicultural Education and B.A. in Sociology and Chicano Studies from Loyola Marymount University.[2]
Career
Solórzano has worked in education for around 50 years.[3] His early research studied how scholars of color, specifically Chicana/o scholars, encountered marginalization and racism in spaces of higher education as they pursued their doctorate programs.[1] Solórzano's research and teaching interests with critical race theory examines the relationships between race, power and education and the ways inequality and systemic racism work.[1] He was influenced by the work of Chester M. Pierce, who coined the term microaggression in 1970.[1]
Solórzano founded the Center for Critical Race Studies in Education at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2015 along with a group of graduate students, and serves as the Director of the center.[3]
Solórzano is known for his mentorship and was honored with the inaugural Revolutionary Mentor Award from the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Social Justice Special Interest Group in 2017.[3]
Solórzano has taught at UCLA for 33 years and is a professor in the UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, Department of Education and the College of Social Sciences, Department of Chicana/o and Central American Studies. He has also taught at the Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall, the California Community College, the California State University and the University of California systems.[4]
Solórzano is co-editor of the anthology The Chicana/o Education Pipeline: History, Institutional Critique and Resistance, which presents a historical overview of Chicanas/o's experience in the education pipeline from the 1880's to 2015. The essays selected for the anthology were originally published in Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies, the oldest Chicana/o journal in the U.S.[2]
