Terms to describe the Hispanic population have evolved over the years. Some of the changes reflect the growing diversity of the Latino/a population; other changes are illustrative of burgeoning social movements that insist on interrogating language used to identify marginalized populations. This panel discussion will examine the various terms that have been used to refer to the Latino/a population in the United States, the history behind the terms, and the current debate over the newest term, Latinx.
Join us via Zoom from 2-3:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 18 for a panel discussion featuring:
