At the intersection of Queer, and Latinx/a/o Identities | Thursday, April 1 | 7-8:15 pm

Presented by: Sergio Gonzalez, PhD Candidate| Event Description: My experiences as a first-generation, queer, Latinx of Mexican parents raised in a mixed-status home have influenced how I understand, conceptualize, and theorize Jotería (queerness) in education. Jotería, is a derogatory term traditionally aimed at queer Latinx individuals. While the most accurate translation of Jotería is queerness, to translate the collective work as one that is encompassed by queerness denotes the radical history of our existence. Through a co-created plática (conversation), this presentation will allow us to critically reflect, be vulnerable and begin to heal from our trauma as we share our experiences navigating PWIs. | Centering: Latino/a/x people; all are welcome.
