Latine Worldmaking: Queer Ecologies, Migration, and Belonging
April 16
3:30–5:00 p.m.
Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Crater Lake South

The Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) is pleased to host a research colloquium featuring faculty and graduate student scholars whose work explores how migration, embodiment, environment, and cultural production shape Latine experiences of belonging. Through literature, media, performance, and critical theory, this event highlights interdisciplinary approaches to identity, place, and community across Latinx and Latin American contexts.

Salomé Herrera, PhD, is a faculty member in the Department of English at the University of Oregon whose research is rooted in literary, performance, and Latinx studies. In their talk, "Trans* Epistemologies: Tracing the Womb across the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers," Herrera traces an embodied trans* epistemology across the Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa Papers from the Benson Library at the University of Texas at Austin. They specifically examine the development of Anzaldúa’s conceptualization of “el cenote,” Mexican lime hole sinkholes with spiritual significance for Mayan cultures, understood as material reservoirs or “wombs” of the collective unconscious from which creativity emerges. Drawing across spiritual and materialist traditions, Herrera shows how a sense of transitivity emerges from a queer Chicana feminist understanding of evolution, ultimately arguing that Anzaldúa’s speculative world-building transforms the womb from a colonized site of carceral policing into one of communal creativity with decolonial potential.

Alejandro Marín is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Romance Languages at the UO whose research focuses on contemporary migrant narratives from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Equatorial Guinea. His dissertation, "The New Errancy: Configurations of Contemporary Migrant Literature in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Equatorial Guinea," develops “The New Errancy” as an analytical category to examine how authors from three distinct migration contexts challenge traditional colonial axes, reimagine non-biological family formations, and construct transnational identities in solidarity with contemporary migrants. Supported by the CLLAS Graduate Research Grant, Marín conducted archival research in the Dominican Republic, interviewed author José Acosta, and observed cross-border dynamics at Dajabón, grounding his work in lived migration contexts. The chapter he presents reads Loida Maritza Pérez’s Geographies of Home as a meditation on how transnational Dominican families negotiate generational fracture, linguistic displacement, and the contested meaning of belonging between the island and the United States.

Moe Gámez is a doctoral student in the Department of English at the UO whose research explores the intersection of Latinx literature, environmental justice, and queer/trans theory. Their dissertation examines how queer and trans Latinx authors and artists represent ecologies through embodied, speculative, and political narratives. Through archival and literary analysis, Gámez’s work contributes to the growing subfield of queer and trans Latinx environmentalisms, highlighting how questions of environment, identity, and embodiment are deeply interconnected.

Together, these scholars offer interdisciplinary perspectives on how Latine communities and cultural producers negotiate identity, space, embodiment, and belonging in relation to migration, ecology, and social transformation. Please join us for this engaging conversation and opportunity to learn more about emerging faculty and graduate student research at the UO. This event is presented by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies.

NW-NALRC Community Project Planning and Development Workshops
April 1–30
3:30–4:30 p.m.

The Northwest Native American Language Resource Center's Community Project Planning and Development (CPPD) workshops are designed to help guide you through the process of creating a community-based project: from coming up with the idea, to building a solid organizational and logistical foundation, and all of the other necessary steps to get your project proposal completed. Overall, there are 15 CPPD workshops in this series

Each workshop also has an associated next-day drop-in assistance hour. This workshop series is meant to take participants with little to no experience in community project planning and development and help them complete their first project proposal. While we are focused on assisting with project planning and development of Alaskan Native/Native American Language projects, much of the content that you will be learning in these workshops is readily transferrable to other types of projects.

Registrants will have access to all workshops in this April offering. Attendance at all workshops in the offering is recommended but not required. 

All instruction is provided online and instructors will join online. Participants will join remotely via zoom (please see technology section below.)

Workshops in this Offering

The CPPD workshops are offered in smaller, five workshop offerings. The first five workshops were offered in November and December of 2025. The workshops that are available in the April offering are: 

Workshop 6: Identifying Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Supports facilitation of community discussions to identify vision-aligned, long-term goals that drive project outcomes.
  • Date: 4/1
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/2

Workshop 7: Defining Barriers to Long-Range Goals 

  • Topic: Identifies internal and external barriers, explores strategies to surface challenges, and begin problem-solving approaches.
  • Date: 4/8
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/9

Workshop 8: Creating Project Goals & Objectives 

  • Topic: Translates community vision into specific, measurable project goals and objectives using clear, structured frameworks.
  • Date: 4/15
  • Drop-In Assistance: 4/16 

Workshop 9: Outcomes, Outputs, & Activities

Technology

The CPPD workshops will be held via Zoom and will use Canvas, a course management system, for materials and activities. Participants must have an email address. It will be best to join on a computer that has a stable internet connection, a webcam, and headphones (depending on your work environment). Using a computer rather than a mobile device will improve your experience - you will be able to better  interact with others, participate in hands-on activities, and see presented materials.

Geography Colloquium: "Living Minerals: Nature, Trade, and Power in the Race for Lithium"
April 16
4:00 p.m.
Condon Hall 106

Join the Department of Geography for the Colloquium Series talk with Javiera Barandiarán, Associate Professor in Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on “Living Minerals: Nature, Trade, and Power in the Race for Lithium.”

Barandiarán is Associate Professor in Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and director of UCSB’s CREW Center for Restorative Environmental Work. She has published four books, including Science and Environment in Chile (MIT Press) and Demanding a Radical Constitution (Palgrave Macmillan). For her research on lithium mining, she won NSF research funding, a Berlin Prize from the American Academy in Berlin, and a fellowship at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center.

Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the 20th century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms.

For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium’s material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multi-dimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and the use of new archival materials from both Chile and the U.S., the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry.

"Radium Girls"
April 17–May 3
7:30–9:30 p.m.
Miller Theatre Complex Hope Theatre

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Her chief adversary is her former employer, Arthur Roeder, an idealistic man who cannot bring himself to believe that the same element that shrinks tumors could have anything to do with the terrifying rash of illnesses among his employees. As the case goes on, however, Grace finds herself battling not just with the U.S. Radium Corporation, but with her own family and friends, who fear that her campaign for justice will backfire. Written with warmth and humor, Radium Girls is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece for 9 to 10 actors, who play more than 30 parts—friends, co-workers, lovers, relatives, attorneys, scientists, consumer advocates, and myriad interested bystanders. Called a “powerful” and “engrossing” drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science. Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois. Originally produced by Playwrights Theatre of New Jersey and developed with a commissioning grant from The Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science and Technology Project.
