Learning to be Latino: How Colleges Shape Identity Politics

Dr. Daisy Verduzco Reyes is an assistant professor at UConn in the Department of Sociology and El Instituto. Join us as Reyes talks about her book and how it explores how students learn unique lessons from their college experiences about what it means to be Latino on campus and in America. These lessons about identity are crucial because they inform understandings and strategies on how to best engage in collective action to advocate for change.

In Full Color - Celebrating Women of Color

In Full Color is an annual theatrical event celebrating women of color. Founded in 2015 by playwright and director Summer Dawn Hortillosa, the program has included monologues and poetry by writers from across the country. The show sparks conversations about diversity, prejudice, cultural exchange and other increasingly important topics, including everything from the double-edged sword of Indian domesticity and the perseverance of Latina sexuality to exactly what matters about Black lives.
