Our newest episode “Contemplating the Dangers of Essentializing Laborers, Part I” is a conversation with our brilliant colleagues and newest amistades Dr. Lilia Soto, Director and Associate Professor in Latina/o Studies at the University of Wyoming and author of Girlhood in the Borderlands: Mexican Teens Caught in the Crossroads of Migration and Dr. Salvador Zarate Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UC Irvine whose published work you can find in Anthropology and Humanism, Aztlán: The Journal of Chicana/o Studies, and the Race and Capitalism Project. Along with Dr. Mario Obando, they are contributing authors to a wonderful forthcoming special issue entitled “The Enduring Dangers of Essentializing Labor and Laborers” in Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies co-edited by my dear and brilliant colleagues and amistades Dr. Abigail Rosas and Dr. Ana Rosas. We also invite you to join us on Tuesday, April 13th from 9am-3:30pm for a virtual event that will feature more extensive dialogues about our essays for the special issue. The event is an opportunity to learn more about the upcoming special issue of Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies that centers on the under-examined and dangerous erasures and rigors of essentializing laborers and labor across a diversity of contexts, locations, and relationships. It will feature a keynote presentation by Dr George Lipsitz, and moderated by Dr. Abigail Rosas, Associate Professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at CSULB and Dr. Ana Elizabeth Rosas, Associate Professor of Chicano and Latino Studies and History.
