“The Meanings of Latino Fatherhoods”
I present on my conversations with 60 Latino fathers in California about what fatherhood means to them and what significance it plays in their lives. In contrast to widespread academic information about Latino men and fathers, my work suggests, family relationships, histories, and past traumas shape Latino men’s experiences of fatherhood, thus dispelling the notion of the Latino father as a unitary subject. I speak about my research and the possible implications of the data for Latina/o/e Studies and for society as a whole. This talk is part of the colloquium series at the School for Advanced Research.
