Plenary Session
Justicia for Latinx/a/o Communities: Healing Through Activism
8:15 – 9:15 am PST, Friday March 11, 2022

What is the potential for promoting community healing through social justice activism? This is the central question the three panelists will explore utilizing their scholarly backgrounds and their involvement in the struggles for Mexican American Studies in Texas and Arizona, as well as human rights and racial justice in Cuba. They will offer insights into both the potential (social justice and community healing) and some pitfalls (community division) of activism.
