ARHU Dean’s Colloquium Series on Race, Equity and Justice with Perla Guerrero

ARHU has launched a new campaign to address race, equity and justice in its curriculum, scholarship, programming and community engagement. As part of its goals, the Dean is hosting a colloquium series all year long. The colloquia introduce audiences to the expertise that ARHU faculty have in these key areas and allow for dialogue with the experts and the Dean to spark ideas for social change.

The first colloquium features Dr. Perla Guerrero, associate professor of American studies and U.S. Latina/o Studies at Maryland. Her talk, “Latinxs on Both Sides of Inequality and Fighting for Justice,” will engage the audience in a discussion on racialization, the different ways that Latinx communities are perceived and the way these communities address justice and equity. Guerrero’s talk will be followed by a conversation with the dean and a Q&A.
