Hello and welcome to another episode of Educators and Immigration. It has been a while since I have released an episode. The reason is because I was traveling with our guests for today Erika Rosales and Yesenia Villalpando-Torres. We are the steering committee for the Mexico International Study Opportunity for Learning (MISOL) program and this December and January, we had a cohort of 18 participants who traveled to Mexico for a life-changing opportunity.
Erika and Yesenia are strong activists for the immigrant community at the local, state, and national levels. They are always looking for ways to support undocumented, DACAmented, and immigrant populations.
Erika Rosale is the Director for the Center for DREAMers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and she was a guest on this podcast back in episode 009 where we discussed the Center and all the amazing work they are doing. Additionally, she is a Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at WIDA which is housed within the Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER). Erika is also a 4W Director of Immigration and Human Rights.
We also have Yesenia Villalpando-Torres who is a Project Assistant for the Center for DREAMers. She is also an Immigration Affairs Social Worker for Dane County Department of Human Services where she works to support immigrants throughout the entire county. She is an inspirational community leader and activist. She works with community to establish programs and services. For example, she set up a DACA renewal event to connect individuals with lawyers and financial resources for their renewal process.

Dr. Julissa Ventura is an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Policy and Leadership (EDPL). Before coming to Marquette, Dr. Ventura was a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Education and Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research sits at the intersections of Latinx education, critical youth studies, and community-based education. Through critical ethnography and participatory methods, Dr. Ventura’s research sheds light into the different ways in which community-based spaces and practices foster Latinx students’ sense of belonging, academic identities, and critical consciousness. As a community-based researcher, Dr. Ventura prioritizes relationship-building and the knowledges of Latinx communities in her work in order to build equitable and mutually beneficial research partnerships for social justice. Dr. Ventura has engaged in community partnership work in Madison, WI and is excited to work on new and existing partnerships between Marquette University and Milwaukee communities through her research and teaching.
