class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"jane\">Dr. Jane Mangan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">A serendipitous \u201cgap year\u201d in the Chile in the 1980s set me on the path to writing and teaching Latin American history. Since then I have lived and researched in Mexico, Spain, Peru and Bolivia, and have visited numerous other countries in the region. I\u2019m passionate about the region I study and especially hope to bring awareness to the role of its history in the present moment. I teach a range of Latin American history courses at Davidson, covering 1492 to NAFTA and the US-Mexico border to Tierra del Fuego. Outside of teaching, I am honored to serve as mentor to middle school and high school girls through <em>Circle de Luz<\/em>, a non-profit organization that aims to boost Latina post-secondary education through targeted programming and scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Several years ago, I developed a new course on Latino history in the hopes of expanding curriculum.&nbsp; In this course, students frequently lamented the limited number of more Latinx\/Latino\/Hispanic voices in our readings.&nbsp; When Davidson launched the Justice, Equality, and Community grants funded through the Mellon Foundation, it seemed like a great moment to record voices about Davidson\u2019s own Latinx experiences so that important history will be more fully available in the future.&nbsp; Students in History 259 as well as a few others who came onto the project have taken this idea and turned it into an essential record of history at our institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Un a\u00f1o afortunado en Chile durante los 80s me puso en el camino de la ense\u00f1anza y la escritura de la historia Latinoamericana. Desde entonces, he vivido y estudiado en M\u00e9xico, Espa\u00f1a, Per\u00fa y Bolivia y tambi\u00e9n he visitado otros pa\u00edses de la regi\u00f3n. Soy una apasionada de la regi\u00f3n y, sobre todo, espero dar a conocer el papel que su historia juega en el presente. &nbsp;Ense\u00f1o una variedad de cursos sobre historia Latinoamericana en Davidson &nbsp;que abarcan desde 1492 hasta TLCAN, desde la frontera entre M\u00e9xico y Estados Unidos hastaTierra del Fuego. Cuando no estoy ense\u00f1ando, me siento honrada de ser&nbsp;mentora de jovenes mujeres de secundaria y de preparatoria a trav\u00e9s de Circle de Luz, una organizaci\u00f3n que tiene como objetivo ayudar a m\u00e1s Latinas a ingresar a la educaci\u00f3n postsecundaria a trav\u00e9s de programas espec\u00edficos y de becas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hace varios a\u00f1os, desarroll\u00e9 un nuevo curso sobre Historia Latina con la esperanza de expandir el programa de estudio universitario. En este curso, los estudiantes frecuentemente lamentaban el n\u00famero limitado de voces Latinx\/Latinas\/Hispanas en nuestras lecturas. Cuando Davidson lanz\u00f3 la iniciativa de Justicia, Igualdad, y Comunidad financiada por la Fundaci\u00f3n Mellon, me pareci\u00f3 un buen momento para documentar voces sobre experiencias latinx en Davidson para que estas historias est\u00e9n disponibles en un futuro. Los estudiantes de Historia 259, y tambi\u00e9n otros estudiantes que ayudaron con el proyecto aceptaron esta idea y la convirtieron en un importante registro de la historia de nuestra instituci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"cassie\">Cassie Harding &#8217;20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">I will always cherish my time collaborating with my peers and Dr. Mangan on this oral history archive because history, herstory, and their stories all speak truth to power. I, a woman of intersectional identities, found my conversations with the participants not only insightful but evocative because they shared how they understood their place within the Davidson space; I learned their triumphs, challenges, and many surprises in between. I hope that whoever engages with this work will do so with an open mind, intention, and empathy. In my career as a public historian, I intend to work to elevate the narratives of resilient, ever-evolving communities of color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Siempre apreciar\u00e9 mi tiempo colaborando con mis compa\u00f1eros y con la Dra. Mangan en este archivo de historias orales porque la historia, la historia de ella y sus historias traducen la verdad en poder. &nbsp;Siendouna mujer con una identidad interseccional, me di cuenta de que mis conversaciones con los participantes no s\u00f3lo &nbsp;fueron inteligentes sino tambi\u00e9n evocadoras porque compartieron como ellxs entend\u00edan su lugar en Davidson; Aprend\u00ed sobre sus triunfos, desaf\u00edos, y &nbsp;sobre otras inesperadas . Espero que quien se involucre en este trabajo lo haga con una mente abierta, con intenci\u00f3n y con empat\u00eda. En mi carrera como historiadora p\u00fablica, tengo le intenci\u00f3n &nbsp;darle relevancia a las narrativas de las comunidades de color de resistencia y en estado de cambio constante.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"Gina\">Gina Martinez &#8217;20<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">          Gina Martinez graduated in May 2020 from Davidson College with a Bachelor of Arts in Hispanic Studies. \u201cI felt so lucky to work on this project, especially as a Charles scholar. I was able to connect with and learn about the legacy of the Charles experience at Davidson from a personal perspective. Connecting with older scholars also highlighted the magic, power, and resiliency in this special community,\u201d Martinez says about the project. She is currently living in Chicago. She is set to begin her Peace Corps service in the next year, where she will be in Zambia working on a maternal &amp; child health and HIV awareness program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Gina Martinez se gradu\u00f3 en Mayo del 2020 de Davidson College con una Licenciatura en Estudios Hispanos. \u201cMe sent\u00ed muy afortunada de trabajar en este proyecto, especialmente como una becaria Charles. Pude conectarme y aprender sobre el legado de la experiencia de los becarios Charles en Davidson desde una perspectiva personal. &nbsp;El tener contacto con acad\u00e9micos &nbsp;tambi\u00e9n destac\u00f3 la magia, el poder y la resistencia de esta comunidad tan especial\u201d, dice Mart\u00ednez sobre el proyecto. Actualmente, ella vive en Chicago. Comenzar\u00e1 su servicio en el Peace Corps el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o, en Zambia donde trabajar\u00e1 en un Programa sobre SIDA &nbsp;y en salud maternal-infantil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"laura\">Laura Collins &#8217;21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">I started with this project in a class that I took with Dr. Mangan on US Latinx history. In that class, we learned about archive-building and narrative construction. The class culminated in group archive projects on a plethora of different topics, ranging from Latinx Greek Life to Davidson\u2019s Latin American Studies department to food and restaurants. I joined this archive\u2019s construction in February 2020. Something that I have really enjoyed about this project is having the opportunity to hear the different perspectives and experiences of Davidson Latinx alumnae. This project provides the mechanism for students to tell their own story and I find this type of agency in narrative construction very empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Comenc\u00e9 con este proyecto en una clase que tom\u00e9 con la Dra. Mangan sobre Historia de los Latinx en los Estados Unidos. En esta clase, aprendimos sobre la creaci\u00f3n de archivos y la construcci\u00f3n de una narrativa. La clase culmin\u00f3 con proyectos de grupo en forma de archivos sobre una pl\u00e9tora de temas diferentes &nbsp;que van desde organizaciones griegas latinx, el Departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos hasta comida y restaurantes. Me un\u00ed a este proyecto en Febrero del 2020. Algo que realmente disfrut\u00e9 es la oportunidad de escuchar diferentes perspectivas y experiencias de exalumnos latinx de Davidson. Este proyecto provee un mecanismo para que los estudiantes cuenten su propia historia y pienso que este tipo de agencia en la construcci\u00f3n de su propia narrativa es muy empoderador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"jorge\">Jorge Torres Villalva &#8217;21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">It has truly been a privilege, honor, and joy to be a collaborator of this archive. If anything, this archive is evidence of the multifaceted Latinx identity \u2013 one that cannot fit in a single box. For much of my Davidson experience, I had always been curious about the previous work and accomplishments of former Latinx students who I shared commonalities within various aspects of my life, such as language, culture, etc. When I went in search for answers in the college\u2019s archives, I could not help but notice the extremely limited archival material available on Latinx voices. After conducting multiple oral histories, it has been fascinating to learn about the different ways Latinx alumni have navigated the same campus I walk through to get to class. This archive has allowed me to remediate some of that lost history \u2013 empowering Latinx alumni, current students, and future students\u2026who have yet to walk through the same halls I do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Realmente ha sido un privilegio, un honor y una alegr\u00eda poder ser un colaborador de este archivo. M\u00e1s que nada, este archivo es evidencia de lo multifac\u00e9tica que es la identidad latinx, una identidad que no cabe en una sola caja. Durante la mayor\u00eda de mi experiencia en Davidson, siempre sent\u00ed curiosidad sobre el &nbsp;trabajo anterior y los logros de exalumnos latinx con quienes compart\u00eda varias cosas en com\u00fan en distintos aspectos de mi vida, como el lenguaje, la cultura, etc. Cuando busqu\u00e9 respuestas en los archivos de la Universidad, no pude evitar notar que limitado era al material disponible de voces latinx. Despu\u00e9s de realizar m\u00faltiples historias orales, ha sido fascinante aprender sobre las diferentes maneras en las que los exalumnos latinx han navegado el mismo campus andando el mismo camino para llegar a clase todos los d\u00edas. Este archivo me ha permitido reponer parte de esta historia perdida \u2013 empoderando a exalumnos latinx, a estudiantes de este momento y a futuros estudiantes\u2026 que a\u00fan tendr\u00e1n que caminar por los mismos pasillos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connecting with older scholars also highlighted the magic, power, and resiliency in this special community.
