June 22, 2025 via Zoom: Mestiza Consciousness as a Tool for Liberation
A dialogic seminar and open forum ft Maria Laguna and Karen Serra Undurraga. This talk explores how mestiza consciousness offers a critical framework for understanding the psychological landscapes of immigrants, refugees, and those whose identities evolve across shifting cultural and geographical contexts. It resists romanticized notions of origins and culture, instead acknowledging how we are simultaneously shaped by both oppressive structures and the potential for liberation. By engaging with these tensions, mestiza consciousness opens space for new ways of being, thinking, and belonging.
