U.S. Census Data and the Latinx Community

U.S. Census Data and the Latinx Community In-Person

Join the Peabody Library, the Latin American and Caribbean Student Association, and the Student Center for Social Justice & Identity at the VU Multicultural Community Space (200C 25th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37212) for an insightful event exploring the intersection of the U.S. Census and the Latinx community. A Census Bureau Data Dissemination Specialist will deliver a presentation on effectively utilizing Census data, providing valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and community leaders. Following this informative session, a panel discussion will delve into the complex relationship between Latinx identity and Census categorization, drawing inspiration from UCLA's Latino Policy and Politics Institute's research on "Latino is Not a Race." This thought-provoking conversation will examine the nuances of Latinx representation in Census data and its implications for policy, resource allocation, and community empowerment.

Refreshments will be served.
