CESR Newsletter Vol 3 Issue 3: October 2024

CESR Newsletter Volume 3, Issue 3: October 2024 Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month During Latinx & Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize the vibrant & diverse contributions of Latinx students at the University of Pittsburgh and beyond. This is a time to celebrate our shared heritage, honor the achievements of Latinx individuals, and engage with our community's cultural, academic, and social richness. At the Center for Ethnic Studies, we also recognize the conversations around the use of multiple terms such as Hispanic, Chicano/Chicana, or Latino/Latina/Latinx/Latine, and the many intersectional identifying terms people embrace, whether racial identities or signifiers, such as first-generation or undocumented/documented. We respect and appreciate how community members choose to self-identify. While we use the broader term Latinx for this message, we are mindful of both the shared histories of inequities Latinx communities have endured and the historical, sociolinguistic, regional, social, and educational variance and specificities experienced by Latinx peoples.

Beyond braceros, growers relied increasingly, but not exclusively, on Mexican undocumented workers and actively recruited laborers from Japan and Puerto Rico. California growers' global search for cheap labor challenges long-held assumptions that Mexican workers were the logical, if not inevitable, ideal farmworker. This talk will explain the lobbying efforts, political reach, and racial meaning-making of California growers as they handpicked their most coveted farmworker and explain how the contemporary reality in American agriculture was not inevitable but created by design through policy and grower influence  Professor Loza is also a curator in the Division of Work and Industry at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution and a public historian who contributed oral histories, trained communities, and helped amass over 800 oral histories with bracero communities featured in the Bracero History Archive.    CESR warmly thanks Professor Loza for her participation in our Speaker Series, and to our partners at the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) for co-sponsoring this incredible lecture.  Mireya Loza (she/her), PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of History, Associate Professor in the American Studies Program at Georgetown University Indigenous Rights & University Community Activism Panel  When: October 18, at 3:00 p.m.  Where: Pitt Global Hub (1st floor, Posvar Hall) Join us for a panel discussion to hear about the University of Pittsburgh's community development work with indigenous groups through the Lakota Perspectives on Environmental Sustainability and Indigenous Rights study away program.
