"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
