Diego Sebastián Panasiti, M.A.

How do I support the community? 

I am this year’s Scholar “(S)in” Residence and will be supporting the USRC in developing inclusive experiential learning opportunities for all students in alignment with UndocuPathways 

I will be collaborating with USRC staff and students in research on identity, third spaces, and literacy studies.  

About Me 

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish with a double minor in Sociology and Latin American Studies from Rutgers University. I hold a Master of Arts in Spanish & Latin American Literature & Cultural Studies from The University of Maryland at College Park. As a first-generation, formerly undocumented student from Argentina, my path through the educational pipeline has led me to pursue an Ed.D. in the CANDEL program at UC Davis. My research approach with and for undocumented student and immigrant communities centers on empowering them to produce knowledge from their lived experiences.
