Our final event in our “Memory Studies in the Americas” thematic series explores how markers or symbols of memory are imagined and disputed. Listen to presentations on the San Gabriel mission in Tovaangar (known as Los Angeles today) by Dr. Catherine Ramírez (Professor, Latin American and Latino Studies) and Confederate monuments in Virginia by Dr. Kate Jones (Associate Professor, History), as they weave the personal with the scholarly to explore the contested terrain of memory in the United States. Dr. Rebecca Hernandez, Director of the American Indian Resource Center at UC Santa Cruz, will be the event’s discussant. Closed captioning and an ASL interpreter is provided. This event was free and open to the public and co-sponsored with the Institute for Social Transformation and The Humanities Institute.
