Sponsored by the Center for Minority Serving Institutions, this talk with Alberto Ledesma, Assistant Dean for Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in the Arts and Humanities, University of California, Berkeley, presented images from the speaker’s graphic auto-ethnographic novel Diary of A Reluctant Dreamer to talk about the way that undocumented life impacts not just everyday acts, but the very things that are named in the worlds we live in. Using illustrated anecdotes and storytelling, this talk described how tensions that exist among undocumented families can still lead to moments of triumph and achievement and how these moments are tied to transformations in identity though they may not lead to transformations in legal status. Charged with humor and emotion, this webinar generated insights into the lives of Americans who were once undocumented.
