Abstract
This autoethnographic thesis exploration captures how my positionality as an Afro-Latinx first-generation college (FGC) student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Environment, Economics, and Politics (EEP) at a predominately white institution (PWI) has led me to experience curricular injustices. Through the theoretical lenses of standpoint epistemology, critical pedagogy, epistemological, testimonial and hermeneutical injustices and the methodologies of autoethnography I am able to investigate my positionality within higher education and how the visible curriculum is an instrument that perpetuates an ontology grounded in oppression and injustices. In providing an analysis of autoethnographic methodology and theoretical concepts in the name of critical inquiry, I critique my navigation through the EEP curriculum in higher education.
