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

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."
