Mi Casa Es Tu Casa: Queer Latinx Reflections on the Family with MT Dávila and Natalia Imperatori-Lee | A CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event
This CLGS Latinx Roundtable Event will explore the concept of familia through a queer Latinx lens. Our panelists will reflect on the many ways “familia” is constructed and deployed in Latinx cultures and will apply a queer reading of familial relationality (including biological families and “chosen” families) to better understand, celebrate, and expand the scope of family in our contemporary diverse society. Such a project has significant implication for how we welcome all persons, especially queer POC, into relationship.
