Chicana and Latina students encounter hostile educational environments on university campuses. Gender Studies, while holding the potential of being a revolutionary space for Chicanas and Latinas, often perpetuates practices of erasure and alienation. Chicana and Latina feminist scholars have withdrawn from academic spaces and continued their work within alternative spaces while demanding that the field of Gender Studies address its problematic roots. While the UC system calls itself an inclusive institution, an analysis of the Chicana and Latina representation in undergraduate Gender Studies programs shows they have substituted tokenism for actual integration of Chicana and Latina curriculum and faculty. The UC system must re-center their Gender Studies programs to include Chicanas and Latinas in order to be as truly diverse as they claim to be.
