Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

The Symposium was created to cultivate an intentional interdisciplinary investment in critical consciousness about Latin America and the Latinx community in the U.S. The theme of the Symposium this year is “I am, Yo Soy, Mwen se, Eu sou Poderosx: Resisting violence against Womxn.” The theme aims to bring awareness to gender violence throughout the diaspora and specifically highlight various intersectional identities that are often erased. Hosted during Women’s Heritage Month we are hoping that the Latina Empowerment Symposium highlights the existence and contributions of Latina women which are often times hidden in the shadows or erased from history. We hope that you may join us as we enter a transformative event in further exploring our power as Latinas.
