Latino/a/x Issues Conference

The keynote is available to stream. Please click here to access the link.  

The goal of our multilingual conference is to support student research; to increase the visibility of Latino/a/x cultures, politics, and interventions in BGSU and our region; and to provide a venue for the recognition of the accomplishments of our Latino/a/x communities.

This year's conference will feature award-winning author, editor and educator Dr. Frederick Luis Aldama as keynote speaker. Born in Mexico and raised in north-central California, Aldama serves as the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also editor-in-chief of Latinx Pop Magazine and has published over 50 books, including the Eisner-winning "Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics." Beyond books, Aldama produces and co-creates documentaries and animated shorts.
