UIS Academic Affairs, the Diversity Center, and the Women’s Center will be hosting an ECCE Speaker Series event. Through this students, staff, and faculty will be able to learn about the window to Latina activism during the 1970s in Chicago. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to look at a digital exhibit on the Festival De Mujeres and learn the significance of the cultural and activist heart of the Mexican Midwest. There will also be a panel with Diana Solís, a visual artist, photographer, and educator, Dr. Hinda Seif, UIS Associate Professor, Laurie Matheson, and Sarita Hernández, a teaching artist, oral historian, and print/zine-maker.
