MISSION STATEMENT
The Program in Chicanx/e and Latinx/e Studies advances interdisciplinary research and teaching on Chican@ and Latin@ peoples, cultures, and collectivities within the United States. We also examine the transnational dimensions of Chicanx/e and Latinx/e lives, arts, and societies. We strive for excellence in research and teaching, support our undergraduate and graduate students, and contribute to the university’s mission to serve all students, advance knowledge, serve residents of Wisconsin, and advance education beyond the university in line with the Wisconsin Idea.
