Latinx in the U.S. South: Futurities, Histories, and Practices of Un-Settling

A Conversation with Sophia Enriquez, Cecilia Márquez, Deshira Wallace, and Javier Wallace

As North Carolina, particularly the Research Triangle, continues to grow and attract more residents, we must look towards the various futures we envision as well as reckon with the histories that might map out how we accomplish them. This panel urges Duke and surrounding campuses to reinvest in regional histories that provide the architecture for understanding the U.S. South as we know it today. More specifically, this moderated conversation is one that will consider histories of anti-Blackness, precarity, labor, and assimilation that have brought and continue to bring various groups of “Latinxs” to the South.

Join us for this conversation with Dr. Sophia Enriquez (Duke Music), Dr. Cecilia Márquez (Duke History), Dr. Deshira Wallace (UNC-CH Gillings School of Global Public Health), and Dr. Javier Wallace (Duke AAAS), moderated by Dr. Sarah Bruno (Duke Cultural Anthropology & FHI).
