Gutiérrez to speak on utopian and dystopian narratives

Ramón A. Gutiérrez, Preston and Sterling Morton Distinguished Service Professor in United States History and the College at the University of Chicago, will present “Utopian and Dystopian Narratives of the Chicana/o Past, Present and Future” on Wednesday, February 8, 4:00–6:00 p.m., at the CSRC Library (144 Haines Hall). Gutiérrez will evaluate the last fifty years of Chicana/o history by charting the progress ethnic Mexicans in the United States have made socially and culturally, assessing their failures economically and politically, and discussing their prospects for the future. Laura E. Gómez, UCLA professor of law, will be the discussant. This event is co-sponsored by the CSRC and the Office of the Vice Provost, Diversity and Faculty Development.
