Clements Center for Southwest Studies Brown Bag

The Clements Center for Southwest Studies invites you to bring your brown bag lunch to a lecture on the research of current Clements Center Fellow, Julia María Schiavone Camacho as she explores the experiences of Chinese Mexican families as they faced expulsion from Mexico, settlement in China and repatriation to Mexico. Her study expands notions of borderlands history and the Mexican and Chinese diasporas by examining socially transgressive relationships among Chinese and Mexicans in Sonora and tracking the movement of Chinese Mexican families between the US-Mexican borderlands and China. Julia, Assistant Professor of History at University of Texas at El Paso, will be spending the academic year as Clements Center Fellow. She received her PhD in Borderlands History at UTEP in May 2006. Will be held in the Texana room of the DeGolyer library.
