Marina Segatti is pursuing a Feminist Studies PhD with a designated emphasis in Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and Latin American & Latino Studies. She sat down with fellow CRES DEs and grad reps Anny Mogollon and Em Padilla to discuss her research on and fieldwork in Brazil.

Why CRES?

Kash Mejia is a senior majoring in Critical Race & Ethnic Studies (CRES). Mejia transferred from Lehigh University and Peralta Community College, where he studied Women and Gender Studies, Environmental Studies, and Ethnic Studies.

Kash Mejia, a CRES and Global and Community Health double major, said that CRES’s strong focus on solidarity and resistance drew him to UC Santa Cruz. 

“CRES is one of the biggest reasons why I decided to attend UC Santa Cruz,” Kash said. “For students of color, the time spent at a university is often a period of deep self-discovery—learning more about their own identities and becoming more aware of the systems of oppression that impact them.”
