Come share your memories about food, migration, and identity in the Latinx community! Food represents more than nutritional needs; it evokes memories and sentiments while increasing trust and community. It generates deep human connections and interactions. In this conversación entre vecinos, we will explore a different dimension of Latinidad through the oral histories of our panelists’ lived experiences.

Moderator: Dr. Margarita Vargas-Betancourt, George A. Smathers Libraries
