Meeting ID: 963 3308 0483

Passcode: 886956



The meetup will be recorded.



History PhD candidates Daisy Herrera, Christella Maldonado, and Pedro Enrique Puentes will present on Refusing to be Refugees: Mapping Sites of Chicanx Defiance and Resistance in California.



As part of the 2023-2024 UCHRI Multi-Campus Working Group Grant, the team of “Mapping Califas” use GIS mapping to bring sites of Chicanx defiance and resistance to life throughout three main regions: Sacramento, San Fernando Valley, and Los Angeles. The group members will demonstrate how they use mapping tools coupled with primary/secondary sources to engage in interactive historical storytelling. Using a mixture of present and former sites, the project aims to integrate their own research interests while confronting and expanding the current literature in the field of history.



Note that free project stickers will be available to in-person attendees!



Daisy R. Herrera, MA is a public history PhD student at UC Riverside focusing on the ethnic Mexican histories of Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley throughout the 20th century. As a homegrown historian, she focuses on recovering the silenced histories found among sites of pioneer commemoration/preservation and recovering stories from former and/or current spaces contesting racial formation public health disparities. Daisy is currently the President of the Southwest Oral History Association and the Co-Founder/Co-Chair of the Chicana/o and Latine Oral Historians Caucus for the Oral History Association.



Christella Maldonado is a Ph.D. student in the department of history at UC Riverside. Her main research focuses on public history practices such as historic preservation, oral histories, and digital humanities. Specifically, she looks at the history of Chicana/o/x communities in urban settings, placemaking practices, and sites of memorialization.



Pedro Enrique Puentes is a PhD Candidate in History (4th year) at UC Irvine and a proud resident of South-Central Los Angeles having lived in both Compton and Watts, two heavily Latino and African American communities known for poverty and crime inspires him. He has begun to examine the relationship between his people and the state of California, and it has often been a relationship of conflict. His goal is to create role models for Latinx and Chicanx in higher education to educate the youth on how these relationships have been shaped by our history and how we can make them better.


The meetup will start with announcements of general interest. I'll also share some of the results from the recent survey on potential meetup format changes.
