All three co-hosts are together at the start of the semester to discuss the upcoming Latina/o/x Midwest Symposium and some details of doing archival research.

Show Notes

Darrel, Ariana, and Rene sit down to catch up at the start of the semester and discuss themes related to the upcoming Latina/o/x Midwest Symposium. After Rene leaves, Darrel and Ariana talk about archival research and the willingness to discuss your “finds” before you publish about them.
