The Hispanic-Latin-x Center is committed to bringing together a community of friends who have a heart and concern about the realities of Latin-x communities across the U.S., Latin America, and beyond. Thus, it seeks to provide resources and scholarly discussions on pertinent themes that address both systematic and theological perspectives while cultivating a deeper, fuller, and a better understanding of the complex issues regarding Latinx experiences. Currently, we host the following activities: Cátedra Paulo Freire – The first Cátedra in the United States dedicated to linking Freire’s theoretical approach to theology and religious studies seeking to contribute to the enrichment of dialogue among students, faculty, religious leaders, and community members. The Cátedra was inaugurated on April 8, 2016, by Dr. Ana Maria Araújo Freire, widow of Paulo Freire. Courageous Conversation – Brown Bag Lunch Series – Lunchtime roundtable discussions seek to increase awareness and sensitivity to cultural dynamics and pertinent issues as they relate to Latin-x people in the USA and beyond. Spanish and Portuguese Language Conversations (fall and spring). Discussion groups in Spanish and Portuguese for Students, Faculty, and Staff.

The Styberg Library provides access to many resources on the Latinx experience and the Latin American Church. In addition to physical books and journals available within the library or through interlibrary loan, the library provides access to a number of online databases including Clase and Periodica (Index of Latin American journals in the sciences and humanities), Gale Encyclopedia of Multicultural America, HAPI Online: Hispanic American Periodicals Index, Hispanic American Newspapers (1808-1980), HLAS: Handbook of Latin American Studies, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Latinos and Latinas in the United States, and The Oxford Encyclopedia of Mesoamerican cultures. The library staff is available to assist library users in the use of these resources for their academic needs.
