Visión: Articulating, Imagining, and
Contextualizing Chicana/o Spaces

In the midst of change, Chicana/o visions shift, re-articulate, and imagine themselves at different moments to meet the demands of the contextual spaces that seek attention, spaces that need difference, or spaces that need articulation. La Visión is in the mind, in the mind’s eye, in the hand, and in the body. Chicana/o Studies scholarship reflects these in the questions that are asked, the research methods that are used, and dialogues that are created across the various communities engendered by these scholarships.Papers are solicited on all of these issues of articulating, imagining, and contextualizing Chicana/o Studies. In addition, papers will also be considered outside of this theme and these issues.
