"Comparative Approaches to Chicano/a History"
This year’s Mexican American History Workshop
investigates the broad analytical reaches of Chicana/o and Latino/a
studies by encouraging scholarship that places the field in a
comparative context. We will engage comparisons around race and
ethnicity, gender, transnationalism and globalization, borders and
borderlands, diasporas, and cultural studies.
