Latinx Studies
The Latinx Working Group is coordinated and funded by the Department of English.
This group provides a regular forum for scholars to discuss Latinx cultural production and its intersection with a variety of theoretical frameworks in American and transamerican contexts, as well as exploring approaches from other disciplinary fields. The group meets two to three times a month to discuss readings and also provides a space for graduate students to share dissertation projects, conference papers, and other works in progress.
Please contact Natalia Reyes (natreyes@sas.upenn.edu) and Clara Jimenez (cjjpgr@sas.upenn.edu) with any questions or to be added to our listserv to receive updates on our programming.
