Nearly 50 people gathered in the Chao Auditorium on Nov. 17, for the Teach-In: Representations of ‘Latin@s’ in the U.S. event.
Due to the recent photo of President James Ramsey and staff wearing “Mexican” Halloween costumes, event coordinators, Sarah Nuñez, assistant director of the Cultural Center Hispanic and Latino Initiatives, and Lara Kelland, assistant professor of history, explained how they wanted to promote an awareness of the history of cultural appropriation.
“[Nuñez] had a real desire to create a healing space for students, which I shared,” said Kelland, as she revealed the event was put together in five days.
