As a former proofreader and current editor, conversations about language and identity are daily occurrences for me. How communities refer to themselves shifts based on multitudinous factors, many of which are individual rather than collective. At this Austin History Center hosted event, this discussion focuses on language in reference to Hispanic communities by asking three questions: “Why do we choose certain words to describe who we are? How are identities rooted in individual and shared cultural experiences? How can we stand strong in our identities while also respecting others?” Refreshments provided, as well as English/Spanish interpretation. – James Scott
