In her opening keynote presentation "Race, Reckoning, and Renewal - Examining Latina/o/x Resistance Amidst Intersectional Violence"
Today we are facing a frightening and sobering reality regarding Latina/o/x politics: one where Latina/o/x immigrants, residents, and citizens alike have become the targets of increased derision, detention, and racialized violence. Borrowing from critical intersectional analysis this lecture examines the challenges of contemporary Latina/o/x politics drawing lessons of meaning in the face of increased vulnerability and renewal in the face of violence.
Anna Sampaio is Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies and Political Science, and Chair of the Ethnic Studies Department at Santa Clara University, with specializations in immigration, Latina/o/x politics, race and gender politics, intersectionality, and transnationalism.
