"Pushing Borders: Extending Mexican, U.S. and Chicano Historiographies"--Feb. 28, 2014, 10:00AM-6:00PM, UT--Austin, TX

The Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) and the Donald D. Harrington Faculty Fellows Program at The University of Texas at Austin.  This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required. 

"Pushing Borders: Extending Mexican, U.S. and Chicano Historiographies"

Friday, February 28, 2014

10:00 am to 6:00 pm

Eastwoods Room (UNB 2.102)

Texas Union, The University of Texas at Austin

This academic symposium, organized by Ana Raquel Minian, a 2013-2014 Donald D. Harrington Faculty Fellow, will explore the histories of multiple border crossings in and across Mexico and the United States. The presenters will push the geographic, thematic, and temporal boundaries of Mexican, U.S., and Chicano historiographies.

Although “transnationalism” has become a popular topic of study in recent years, most scholarship remains bounded, with few historians talking across “seemingly-evident” geographic divisions. This symposium brings together scholars who focus on the United States, Mexico and the Mexico-U.S. borderlands to expand our understandings of geographic boundaries as well as to blur the existing intellectual borders in Mexican, U.S., and borderlands historiographies.

The following participants are scheduled to attend:

Pablo Piccato, Columbia University

Anne M. Martínez, The University of Texas at Austin

Gabriela Cano, El Colegio de México

Jocelyn Olcott, Duke University

Ana Raquel Minian, Stanford University

Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, University of Southern California

Nicole M. Guidotti-Hernández, The University of Texas at Austin

George J. Sánchez, University of Southern California
