When the Latino Studies Program was founded in 1999, our program’s name emerged from that historical moment, one rife with possibility for new understandings of our constituent populations. Since then, our field has evolved in rich and complex ways, demonstrating the multiplicity of experiences referenced by the term “Latino.” We retain the name “Latino Studies Program” while acknowledging the deficits of such a label and acutely aware of the vast diversity within configurations of Latinx.
