CESR Events This Week!

CESR Speaker Series: Professor Perla Guerrero; Presence and Resistance in Queer Mexico Performance Series

This Week! TOMORROW! Free and Open to the Public! CESR Speaker Series: Professor Perla Guerrero A Southern Take on Deportation: How Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Education Policies Displaced Migrants to Mexico  CESR is proud to present our next lecturer in the CESR Speaker Series: Perla Guerrero, Associate Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park Lecture Title: A Southern Take on Deportation: How Anti-Immigrant and Anti-Education Policies Displaced Migrants to Mexico When: Tuesday, October 29, 2024 from 2:30-4:00 p.m. Where: Posvar 4303 (CUE Commons Room) Lecture Description: This talk seeks to understand how local, state, and national laws shape deportation and coerced return for Mexicans at the turn of the twenty-first century. I argue that two types of laws were particularly devastating to undocumented communities—education-related legislation and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agreements. My research shows that regional US differences in policing and immigration detention, paired with local policies and state laws, dramatically affect who is deported and who is coerced to return to their birth country. Thus, Latinx Southerners are disproportionately represented by the US deportation regime.  This lecture is part of the 2024 Center for Ethnic Studies Research Speaker Series, co-sponsored with the Center for Latin American Studies. FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Refreshments will be provided.   Wednesday and Thursday! Free and Open to the Public! Presence and Resistance in Queer Mexico Presence and Resistance in Queer Mexico "The Taste of Sweetness" (performance) When: Wednesday, October 30, 2024 from 3:00-4:15 p.m. Where: Global Hub, 1st floor, Wesley W. Posvar Hall "Make Your Skin Crawl: To Be The Other" (In-class conversations) When: Thursday, October 31, 2024 from 2:30-3:45 p.m. Where: Cathedral of Learning, Room 321  This performance series is an open and public conversation to collectively reflect on the political power of sweetness in contexts of war and pain through the trans body. The artist will embody on intergenerational and transtemporal dialogue to become "the voices of sweentess" and thus create strategies that intervene in contexts torn apart by violence and war, like in Mexico's "War on Drugs." Lia Garcia (Mexico City, 1991) is a transdisciplinary artist, activist, and educator whose work has been featured at the Annual Encuentro of the Hemispheric Institute of Politics and Performance at NYU, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Harvard University, and the University of Texas at Austin. Her performances grabble with issues of personal memory, sexual becoming, radical pedagogies, and transfeminism.  Co-sponsored by: Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Center for Ethnic Studies, and Center for Latin American Studies, and the Office of the Dean for Undergraduate Studies Copyright © 2024 All rights reserved.
