Dr. Felix is the proud son of Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants. Born and raised in Anaheim, he is the product and beneficiary of public education from kindergarten to graduate school and is the first in his family to attend and graduate college. Now he is a faculty member at San Diego State University and does his best to fulfill our state's promise of providing affordable, quality, and transformative education. Dr. Felix holds three principles dear; Partner, Parent, and Professor and does his best to be present and passionate for each. Using Critical Policy Analysis, he explores the ways policymakers craft higher education reform and how institutional leaders implement them. Particularly, he focuses on understanding how the implementation of lauded student success reforms may benefit, harm, or render invisible Latinx students and other racially minoritized groups in the community college context. Ultimately, his work seeks to highlight the possibilities of policy reform to improve racial equity in education.
