The UW-Madison Chicanx/e and Latinx/e Studies program will host a 50th-anniversary celebration, Desde 1976: Education, Culture, and Community, on Oct. 16-17 at Irving & Dorothy Levy Hall on the UW-Madison campus.
2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the Chicanx/e and Latinx/e Studies program on UW-Madison’s campus. Desde 1976: Education, Culture, and Community will honor and celebrate five decades of work in preparing students for successful careers, growing our knowledge of Chicanx/e and Latinx/e populations through innovative research, and collaborations with local communities.
“We invite you to return to Madison to celebrate that milestone through our 50th Anniversary symposium, Desde 1976: Education, Culture, and Community, in which we will host panels examining the program’s impact on students, its contributions to interdisciplinary research, and its commitment to community-engaged scholarship,” the UW-Madison Chicanx/e and Latinx/e Studies program said in a press release. “In community, we will break bread and be in conversation. Our keynote address will delve into Latinx poetry, and we will enjoy live music and dancing.”
