The LatinxConnect conference, held every March, aims to move us beyond “celebrating” Latinxs, calling for empowerment and justice for Latinx communities, who face numerous inequities in the US and across the world, particularly for those at marginalized intersections of Latinx identity (e.g., Afro, Indigenous, Queer, Trans*, Undocumented).
As the largest pan-ethnic group in the United States, Latinxs are extremely diverse by race, gender, language, immigration, and experiences along the diaspora, which creates opportunity for dialogue. Participants will discuss together what it means to thrive as Latinx/a/o/e/Hispanic at the intersections of their identities in topic areas including but not limited to education, public health, arts, and history. There is no cost to attend the conference and all are welcome.
The LBCC History, Political Science, and Ethnic Studies Dept./Reading and Teacher Preparation Dept./Labor Center/Student Equity/Faculty Professional Development invite you to an Ethnic Studies Summit, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., Sat., April 19. There is no cost to attend the conference
