Darrel, Ariana, and Rene sit down to catch up at the start of the semester and discuss themes related to the upcoming Latina/o/x Midwest Symposium. After Rene leaves, Darrel and Ariana talk about archival research and the willingness to discuss your “finds” before you publish about them.

• The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s generous support through its Sawyer Seminar program allowed “Imagining Latinidades: Articulations of National Belonging” to launch at the University of Iowa. This podcast was born from the Sawyer Seminar and we hope it will continue on afterward.
• The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, at Iowa, was the birthplace of our Seminar theme, which gave rise to this podcast.
