Abstract
The author designed and piloted a five week course with the intention of
promoting Latina attendance at Ophelia's Place, a Eugene-based non-profit. The theme
of the class was identity: the first two weeks were concerned with defining the concept
and the proceeding weeks' themes were ethnicity, gender, and language identity
respectively. The class was open for up to ten girls aged ten to eighteen. The following
includes the Latina Identity Class's curriculum as well as the author's final conclusions
on the pilot process.
