Encuent(r)os Fall 2025

The Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race and Asteri(x) Journal, in collaboration with Casa Hispánica, present Encuent(r)os Fall 2025, a new programming series that highlights the diversity of Latinidad and Latinx Studies. Since our communities have ties to every corner of the Americas, and since our fields consider these communities from every possible angle, the series will be interdisciplinary, bringing together writers, artists, filmmakers, and more. See here for our fall 2025 event series lineup!
