  • changing political, social, economic and cultural realities, including immigration and transnational communities;
  • gender, sexual, racial and ethnic identities;
  • social movements; diverse forms of cultural expression;
  • ongoing political and economic restructuring in Latin America;
  • the challenges of political and economic empowerment for Latina/o communities in the United States.
