Discussion focuses on Latino/Hispanic experiences

March 29, 2006

A special panel discussion, "Facing Prejudice Everyday: Experiences from Our Community: Latino/Hispanic Perspectives," will be held Wednesday, April 5, from 6:30pm to 8pm in the Harry T. Wilks Conference Center.

The forum coincides with the end of the Fitton Center for Creative Arts' touring exhibit, "Facing Prejudice Everyday."

According to Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies Shelly Jarrett Bromberg, "this forum has been requested by members of the Latino community to share their experiences with surrounding communities in hopes of countering some of the misconceptions about Latinos in our area."

The special forum is hosted by Miami University Hamilton and is co-sponsored by the Wilks Scholar Program, Latin American Studies Program, Center for American and World Cultures, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, and the Miami Hamilton Office of Multicultural Services.

The forum is free and open to the public with a reception to follow.
