This talk by CSULB Associate Professor of Chicano and Latino Studies, Abigail Rosas, will center on Latine generational knowledges and experiences in the creation and documentation of family histories and creative expression. Focusing on the teaching of intergenerational care, convivencia, and relational approaches to documenting memory and lived experience, the talk explores how creative practice creates space for intersecting ways of knowing and forming identity within an intergenerational approach to history.
