SUMMARY:La Canoa: Mulattos of Cochiti: Caste in Spanish New Mexico

Rob has presented papers and lectures on his research at the University of New Mexico as well as history conferences throughout the southwestern United States. He has also spoken to historical groups in New Mexico such as the Hispanic Genealogical Research Center of New Mexico\, the Albuquerque Historical Society\, and the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies about research methodology\, unique findings\, New Mexico Hispanic culture\, and general History of New Mexico. Mr. Martinez is also a folk musician\, performing and promoting New Mexican Hispanic musical traditions for the past twenty years with his brother Lorenzo and their father Roberto Martinez in the group Los Reyes de Albuquerque.

SUMMARY:Alejandro Mendiaz\, “Speaking Truth to Power: UndocuTalks”
DESCRIPTION:11 am \nThis talk is part of the educational programming related to People Powered: New Mexicans and Social Movements. \nUndocuTalks is a podcast that was developed as a virtual space where undocumented youth can independently share news\, knowledge\, and culture with other undocumented youth and allies.  Alejandro Mendiaz is a co-founder of UndocuTalks and a host of the UndocuNews segment that aims to share important information with our immigrant communities in a healthy dose of digestible pieces of information that combat the constant stressful bombardment of immigration-related\, sensationalized news. Alejandro and the UndocuTalks collective sees podcasting as revolutionary medium that can inform our social movements in New Mexico\, the U.S.\, and internationally.

SUMMARY:La Canoa: The Nuclear Option: Perpetuating the Myth of New Mexico as Wasteland
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nPlease join UNM Assistant Professor Myrriah Gómez for a presentation on New Mexico and the nuclear option. Long before the nuclear industrial complex began in here in 1942\, New Mexico was depicted by outsiders as a “wasteland.” In an effort to combat that historical portrayal\, the New Mexico Bureau of Immigration issued Aztlán: The History\, Resources and Attractions of New Mexico in 1885\, a book that was used to recruit Anglos to New Mexico in an effort to shift the racial and ethnic demographics so as to earn statehood. Building on Anglo rhetoric from the 19th century\, the federal government continues to use the same arguments to convert New Mexico into the premier repository for the nation’s nuclear waste. This talk will discuss the rearticulationof New Mexico as a nuclear wasteland in the 20th and 21st centuries. \nMyrriah Gómez is a Nuevo Mexicana from the Pojoaque Valley. She is an Assistant Professor in the Honors College at the University of New Mexico. Myrriah’s current book project\, NuclearNuevo México: Identity\, Ethnicity\, and Resistance in Atomic Third Spaces\, examines the effects of the nuclear industry on people of color in New Mexico.

SUMMARY:La Canoa: Outside the Recipes: the Sustenance of Story
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nQuerencia as defined by Nuevomexicano scholar Juan Estevan Arellano is “love of place.”  Please join Dr. Patricia Perea as she presents a talk on the articulation of querencia to speak directly with the writings and experiences discussed in this lecture. These writings include Fabiola Cabeza de Baca’s The Good Life: New Mexico Traditions and Food (2005)\, Denise Chávez’s A Taco Testimony (2006) and The Pueblo Food Experience: Whole Food of Our Ancestors (2016).  Each of these works connect the texture of food\, the complex ties of family\, and the starkness of geography to the experience of ancestral memory and belonging. In addition to discussing these narratives\, Dr. Perea will also include her own experiences on the road home through community and story. \nDr. Patricia M. Perea currently teaches at the University of New Mexico in the Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies. She completed Ph.D. in American Studies in 2010. Her dissertation and graduate work focused on Mexican American autobiography and visual culture. She is a published poet and continues familial traditions that include weaving and traditional colcha embroidery. Her most recent project was the publication of the cookbook: The Pueblo Food Experience Cookbook: Whole Foods of Our Ancestors. Her future projects include continuing work on recent Mexican American autobiography and the histories and experiences of Mexican Americans in the Texas Panhandle. \nLa Canoa is a monthly series (August-May) that features talks by Hispanic/Latino academic and community researchers with long-standing and distinguished records of research and teaching about New Mexico and the region. \nThis event is free and open to the public \n

SUMMARY:La Canoa: Daniel Webb "The Power and Place of the Apachería in Colonial New Mexico"
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nPlease join Daniel Webb as he examines the history of the diverse population of Athapaskan-speaking peoples identified as Apache (Ndé) in the colonial archives of northern New Spain. He will trace the different stages of their migration and territorial expansion across the vast geographical expanse known as the Apachería (the Apaches’ ancestral homelands)\, illustrating their relations with other sovereign Indian nations and Hispano settlers\, and the policies that Spain introduced in the eighteenth century to restrict their mobility. Through analysis of a wide range of historical materials\, including sources from the Spanish Archives of New Mexico and the Archivo General de la Nación de México\, Webb’s research highlights the cultural practices and the environmental conditions that allowed the diverse Apache bands\, clans and family lineages to flourish in the periphery of colonial New Mexico. Paradoxically\, this contributed to the decline of tribal sovereignty in the nineteenth century. \nDaniel Webb (University of Chicago\, Ph.D. 2017) is a Visiting Scholar at the University of New Mexico’s Center for Regional Studies. He is an early American historian with specializations in Native American\, U.S.-Mexico Borderlands\, and Latino/a history. His research has been supported by the John Carter Brown Library\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture. \nThis event is free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Cultural Responsive Teaching Workshop (Rental)
DESCRIPTION:Education Building – Classroom 122/124\n10 am to 5 pm \nCultural responsive teaching encourages educators to allow students to enter the classroom as their authentic selves. Rather than forcing students to code-switch\, they are asked about where they come from and to relate that to the course material. The goal is to create an environment where all students\, regardless of their physical/mental ability\, racial/sexual/gender identity\, feel safe. Safe to participate. Safe to engage. And therefore safe to learn.\n$63.93 or $84.91 for groups \n \nI am often the only black girl in the room\, going to school\, that was my identity. After 16 years of schooling I have yet to have 1 black teacher. I can name on one hand how often I was assigned readings by people who identified as black. This is more than implicit bias\, this is racism. This is rooted in the historically oppressive idea that\, education is meant to assimilate. It communicates to our students that we do not value them\, or their culture. It says\, once they learn how to speak and act like nonmarginalized group members do they have anything to offer the world. \nSchedule:\n10 am – Key terms and Current Events. Do we say underprivileged? Disadvantaged? Marginalized? POC? Women or womxn? Let’s discuss. \n11 am – Designing your syllabus to be Culturally Responsive. What policies do you have listed that build in disadvantages for already marginalized students? \n12 pm – How to embrace Open Educational Resources. Learn how How to create your own free textbook and curriculum which is more reflective of your student body. \n1 pm-2 pm – Break for Lunch \n2 pm – What material should be off-limits? We should embrace pop culture and works of fiction\, yet where is the line between education and problematic? \n3 pm – Engaging students of color\, what’s offensive? The one day my teachers would bring up African Americans was during Black History Month. They would then turn to me\, the student\, to educate the class simply because of the amount of melanin in my skin. The teachers thought they were being inclusive but clearly that wasn’t the case. Let’s talk about intentions and how they can produce a very different impact. \n4 pm – When we say\, “I’m just preparing them for the real world\, what are we actually saying?” The word we use to vocalize our motivations often reveal our own implicit biases\, how do we reconcile that? \n4:30 pm-5 pm – Networking and Problem Solving: I will hand out case studies so you can workshop ideas and strategies with your fellow educators. Also\, please take this time to get to know your fellow faculty around the state. \n\nThe title\, content\, photos/images and description for this event were provided to the NHCC by the organization renting the NHCC venue for the event. By serving as a venue and posting the event on its website\, the NHCC is not endorsing any views expressed in the title or description of the event\, nor is it endorsing the content of the event.

SUMMARY:La Canoa: John Mraz "The Braceros Program and the Hermanos Mayo"
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nPlease join us as Dr. Mraz examines the Hermanos Mayo\, Spanish-Mexican photojournalists whose images of the braceros make up the current NHCC exhibit\, Braceros: Photographed by the Hermanos Mayo. The photojournalist collective knew what it meant to emigrate\, as their story began during one of the modern world’s great conflagrations: the Spanish Civil War. With the defeat of the Republic in 1939\, the Mayo came to Mexico where they worked for more than 40 periodicals\, creating an enormous archive of some five million negatives. The Hermanos Mayo’s photographs of the braceros are important for what they show us about these migratory workers and what they tell us about the perspectives of these graphic reporters. It is important to applaud the artfulness of the Mayo collective while recognizing that particular social realities had to exist before they could be reproduced in photographs. As Julio Mayo said\, “Photography has its creative part\, but within reality.” \nJohn Mraz is Research Professor at the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades\, Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico) and National Researcher III. He has published more than 200 articles\, book chapters\, and essays in Europe\, Latin America\, and the United States on the uses of photography\, cinema\, and video in recounting history. Among his books are Photographing the Mexican Revolution; Looking for Mexico: Modern Visual Culture and National Identity; Nacho López\, Mexican Photographer\, and Uprooted: Braceros in the Hermanos Mayo Lens. He has directed award-winning documentaries\, and curated many international photographic exhibits. \nAnd don’t forget to stop in the History and Literary Arts building to see the Braceros exhibit photographed by The Hermanos Mayo. \nThis event is free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Surviving Microaggressions Workshop (Rental)
DESCRIPTION:10 am – 5 pm\nDomenici Education Building\, Room 122/124 \nWhen you are often the only person who identifies the way you do\, entering a room can be extremely uncomfortable. Now imagine that a joke is then made on your behalf. Poking fun at your natural hair\, or teasing your personality characteristics because they reject the stereotype associated with your group affiliation. “Not being black enough\,” “Acting white\,” or having your native language skills criticized by friends and family are often commonplace. These statements or questions are often a way to challenge our belonging or even our presence in certain spaces. This can happen at school\, work or even at the grocery store. Learn how to work through these situations and what to say when microaggressions appear.\n$40 Early Bird Registration\, $80 Groups of 3 & $60 Late Registration\n(fees not included in the price of the registration) \nVal Day-Sanchez and Carli Romero present a 1 day training on handling these dangerous comments in our daily lives. Using Val’s hit book\, The Only Black Girl in the Room as the basis of the curriculum\, Val creates a safe space to learn how to talk about difficult topics like race\, implicit bias\, sexism\, and gender identity. Carli will focus on our bodies. How do we center ourselves and our breath when we are triggered by microaggressions. \nThrough a series of activities\, and discussions\, participants will leave with options when they are the target of a microaggression from family or friends. We’ve all been caught off guard when certain comments are made. When do we say something? When can we say something? And more importantly\, when we speak\, how can we ensure we are heard?\nSchedule \n10 am Introductions: We are all entering this workshop from different places in our lives and in our understanding. That doesn’t mean we should judge. \n10:15 am What Is A Microaggression?: It doesn’t matter if it was a joke\, or your intention was to provide support\, if someone leaves the interaction feeling offended or unsafe\, clearly your intention was not aligned with your impact\, now what? Perhaps you are singled out because of your sexual orientation? You go home to visit and feel anxious and bombarded by the off the cuff comments that are made\, asking why you aren’t married? Or perhaps at a company mixer your coworkers begin debasing your friends because of their race or religion? You want to say something but you’re worried about offending your family\, being alienated at work\, or ostracizing your friends\, what are your next steps? \n11 am White Fragility\, Relationship Dynamics & Trauma: What are the barriers keeping us silent? Who is speaking? Do we feel safe? Do we have power? All of this can effect how we respond to this poisonous statements. We all have biases\, some we are aware of while others just seem natural. We’ve never examined them before. How do microaggressions reintroduce us to our past trauma? What’s the harm in stereotypes and assumptions and why does it seem like white people seem more surprised by this than people of color? Well\, that phenomenon actually has a name\, “White Fragility.” \n12 pm-1 pm Microaggressions and Recovery: The tightening of our chest\, sweaty palms\, shortness of breath\, this is often how our bodies respond to microaggressions. Learn coping mechanisms to help with this process. Shame\, grief\, anger\, guilt can come up when speaking to microaggressions on either side of the instances\, how do we deal with that? Well\, it starts with sending love to our past self. We are talking about the reality that our beliefs drive our behaviors. Now from a mindfulness/therapeutic/recovery perspective – growth requires an ongoing examination of beliefs\, and that is intricately connected to our racial/gendered conditioning. Let’s learn how to recognize and shift our beliefs which are grounded in biases. \n1 pm-2 pm Lunch Break: Off Campus \n2 pm-3 pm How Can we Respond to Microaggressions?: Let’s work through case studies. If it was a friend or an acquaintance versus the family matriarch? What about your employer or someone you work with? What can you say when confronted with a microaggression depends a lot on the setting. \n4:30 pm-5 pm Closing thoughts: Whether we identify as marginalized group members or as an ally\, what can we do in our little space in the world to create a more inclusive environment? Is it the way that we talk? The way that we engage on social media? How we speak with our family members about politics? \n***Early Bird Registration rate until April 30th***\n**Scholarships Available\, contact Event Organizer for details** \nFacilitators: \n \nVal Day-Sanchez (pronouns include\, she/her/hers\, they/them/theirs) is a tenured professor of communication\, social activist\, author\, TEDX speaker\, and intersectional feminist.

This inclusive lens is reflected in their cultural responsive teaching\, equity based curriculum design\, and college service within Equity centered policy change. Val’s TEDx Talk: Silence is Killing Us \n  \n \nCarli Romero (she/her/hers) has served communities throughout New Mexico as a community organizer and facilitator\, through a gender and trauma-informed lens\, for over a decade and now works as an Operations Coordinator with NewMexicoWomen.org.

SUMMARY:Migrantes\, Mexico and the United States: Lessons from History and Current Challenges
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nMillions of Mexicans have migrated to the United States over the past 120 years—several million without documents and subject to deportation since the 1970s\, and over two million agricultural workers known as braceros in the years after World War II. But net Mexican migration has virtually stopped since the great recession of 2008\, and has been replaced by Central Americans fleeing political violence migrating through Mexico and across the border into the United States. At the same time\, the United States has adopted a much more muscular policyto stop migration at the border. This presentation analyzes the historical arc of these migrations and argues that history affords some lessons about what to expect from current policies. \nManuel García y Griego is Associate Professor of History and Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of New Mexico. Previously he has held faculty positions at El Colegio de México (Mexico City)\, the University of California\, Irvine\, and the University of Texas at Arlington. He has written widely on Mexican migration and bilateral relations. \nThis event is free and open to the public
