Latina Empowerment Symposium
I AM, YO SOY, MWEN, EU SOU LATINA AND MORE…We are pleased to announce the the 1st University of Florida Latina Empowerment Symposium. The Symposium was created to cultivate an intentional interdisciplinary investment in critical consciousness about Latin America and the Latinx community in the U.S. The theme of the Symposium is “I am, Yo Soy, Mwen, Eu sou Latina and more… Exploring the intersections of our Latinx Identities.” The theme aims to unite various identities within the Latinx diaspora and showcase the beauty within all of the identities. Hosted before the beginning of Women’s History Month we are hoping that the Latina Empowerment Symposium highlights the existence and contributions of Latina women which are often times hidden in the shadows or erased from history. Especially as we reach and commemorate the 100 years of White women’s right to vote in the U.S. and critically look at how that has impacted us in present day politics and life. We hope that you may join us as we enter a transformative event in further exploring our power as Latinas.

Course Announcement: Why Learn? Getting More From College Than What you Came For (IDH4930)
Looking for a low-intensity discussion based class to round out your spring schedule? Consider the 1-credit seminar course below as an opportunity to expand your vision of and for higher education. Course description: What’s the point of college? What does a bachelors degree get you these days? Can the university be a place where learning involves something more than the job you will land? In this experience in communal learning, we will consider these questions and more as we try to imagine what the classroom can offer those who enter. We will examine our current experiences in higher education, and we will explore ways the classroom might contribute to the lives of those who fully engage. This seminar style course, defined by classroom conversation around focused essays alongside related articles, poetry, and film, will provide students the opportunity to engage with and discuss the course material in reflective and lively ways.
