The LatCrit Portfolio of Projects: A Summary of Past Projects

Cyber Classroom Project (CCP)

In connection with the Primer, LatCrit theorists established in 1998 the Cyber Classroom Project (CCP), which connects geographically dispersed students to likeminded peers and faculty to create substantive educational opportunities not provided by the formal curriculum of their "home" institutions via an electronic discussion list. This discussion list allows students to discuss LatCrit texts from the Primer or the symposia, and presents a sampling of symposia publications. with their authors and other scholars, as well as with students at other schools or institutions. Like the Critical Global Classroom, this Cyber Classroom Project aims to provide access to critical legal education to today's students.

Community Development Externship Network (CDE)

The Community Development Externship Network (CDE) is a project that was initially funded through LatCrit and has since become independent from this organization. The CDE is an experiential learning project designed to provide legal assistance to local communities or activists working on social justice efforts in rural and urban sites both across the United States and across the Americas. The ten-week summer externships focus on securing material remedies to social injustices suffered both by groups and individuals, including land reclamation projects and other kinds of reparations-oriented efforts. Before beginning their externships, the externs receive scholarships and travel stipends to attend a CDE orientation, and during their externships they live in the communities within which work. For more information please contact Professor Thomas W. Mitchell or visit the CDE web site at:

LatCrit Chicana/o Studies Project (CSP)

The LatCrit Chicana/o Studies Project (CSP) was originally designed to highlight Chicana/o communities and issues in LatCrit theory, and to help build connections between established discourses in Chicana/o studies and LatCrit theory. This project included a series of scholarly meetings between LatCrit and Chicana/os studies scholars to map out areas of convergence and mutual interest. Scholars of all disciplines and perspectives were encouraged to participate in this project. For relevant archives please click here.
