Love Our People Like You Love Our Food

What does it mean to be Latin American? When the U.S. celebrates Hispanic culture and heritage, the spotlight is typically on food, music, dance, cultural traditions, and pioneers uplifted for their achievements. We all inhabit numerous, complex identities – some which we have chosen for ourselves and some others have imposed on us. So what does it mean to be Latin American in the U.S. today? To be immigrant, citizen, noncitizen, resident, migrant, first generation, undocumented, or asylum-seeker?

Join a roundtable discussion that questions the borders that define our identities, investigates the challenges Latin American students are currently facing, and calls for a clearer understanding of our Latin American communities at RIT and beyond. Open to all.

Hosted by the Division of Access, Engagement, and Success as part of Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month; co-facilitated by Claudia Bucciferro, Associate Professor in the School of Communication, and Anthony Jimenez, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
