The Wisconsin Latinx History Collective’s Fall 2023 symposium brings researchers and the community together to learn about the Collective’s work documenting Latinx History in Wisconsin. An interdisciplinary group of faculty, students, and community researchers will present their findings from the past three years and will share what is to come in the future. Dr. Andrea-Teresa Arenas will be the event’s MC. Historian Sergio González will deliver the keynote address. The event is free and registration is required.

The Wisconsin Latinx History Collective is a network of faculty, staff, and students from six Wisconsin universities and two out-of-state institutions along with numerous community members who have been trained by the core team. This unprecedented network of researchers, and their organizational partners, are dedicated to “retro-fitting” Latinxs within Wisconsin’s history; centering Latinxs where they have often been erased, their contributions to the state have been minimized, and the discrimination and racism they endured has been ignored. By seeking, gathering and showcasing resources that correct, complicate, and/or diversify the traditional narrative, the work of the WLHC centers Wisconsin’s Latinxs.
