Description:
Join us for a simulated class from our College of Arts and Sciences. Don't worry--there won't be any tests!
Have you ever wondered about why people are using the term Latinx? How does this term differ from other ones you may have heard like Latina, Latino, Latin@, or Hispanic? In this short lecture, Professor David Vázquez will provide a short history of pan-ethnic identity terms like Latina/Latino/Latinx and Chicana/Chicano/Chicanx. The sample lecture will also discuss recent Latinx novels, short stories, and films to demonstrate how literature and culture provide spaces for thinking about social justice. The lecture will run about 30 minutes, with a Q&A to follow.
