Latinx Identity in the Workplace: Afro-Latinx and Multidimensionality
Wednesday, October 07 2:00 PM EDT to 3:00 PM EDT
Webinar
Identity for Latinx in the United States is multidimensional. This is a reflection of the colonial history of Latin America and the mixing of indigenous Americans with white Europeans, Africans and Asians. Afro-Latinx is one of the Latin identity groups that are characterized by their complex view of racial identity.
Join us for a fireside chat with Dr. Robert Rodriguez and Latinx PHAN co-chair Diogo Metz, where they will explore the complexities of race, identity and ethnicity in the Latin community, and the issue of multidimensionality. The discussion will offer a textured understanding of and appreciation for how Latinx identify in an effort to raise awareness and further a sense of community.
