'What Does It Mean To Be Hispanic/Latina/e/o/x In The United States?' town hall, Sept. 16
Numbering over 60 million, Hispanic/Latina/e/o/x identified people comprise 18% of the United States population, and represent the largest racial-ethnic group in the United States. Yet the Hispanic/Latina/e/o/x population is not a monolith, with people within this racial-ethnic umbrella having origins in over 20 different Latin American and Caribbean countries, speaking multiple languages, and identifying with multiple racial groups, including Indigenous and Black.
This town hall will engage self-identified Hispanic/Latina/e/o/x people in a discussion about their racial-ethnic identities and lived experiences as people of color in the United States. There will be a brief overview of current perspectives on pan-ethnic and racial labels used to describe Hispanic/Latina/e/o/x people, and discussants will share artifacts that represent their racial-ethnic identity and encourage participants to do so as well via the Hispanic Heritage Month Artifact Showcase.
Chancellor Patrick Gallagher, Dr. Clyde Pickett, Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion, and Dr. Belkys Torres, Executive Director of Global Engagement at the University Center for International Studies, will provide remarks.
