Latino Coalition Report is Complete - See the Report

As many of you already know, the Latino Coalition Report, produced through a year-long effort last year from many students in CAUSA, Accion, Caucus, and LGSA and the help of students writing over the summer, led us to a finalized report with recommendations to the University on the Status of Latino/a Students at Princeton University .  See attached for an electronic copy of the report.  Your Caucus leaders wish to share this report with you so that we can all become aware of the issues we are addressing as a Latino community.  In the next few weeks, students will meet with alumni, faculty, and staff in focus groups to build up support for the recommendations.  After fall break, the Coalition will have a large UMBRELLA meeting where everyone supporting the report (from faculty, alumni, staff, student groups, students, etc) will come together to review our progress and think about ways to move forward in implementing the recommendations.We need dedicated people to participate in coordinating the events and getting the word out.

Student Initiated Seminar: La Nueva Latina

Description/Objectives:
This course is about modern conceptions of Latina women in the United States. We will explore this topic using a variety of resources including feminist theory, academic writing, literature and film. What is la nueva Latina ? Where do Latinas fit into the cannon of feminist theory? How have stereotypes emerged to characterize Latinas as sassy, sensual etc. and how true are these stereotypes? How do Latino males respond to Latinas? What is machismo and how has its legacy affected gender conceptions within the Latina/o community? How are Latinas subjugated/empowered by popular media representations? This course will encourage participants to tackle these and other important questions at the heart of Latina identity formation in our society.
