Details

People from Latin America are often bucketed as if they share one identity. In fact, despite having cultural elements in common, each country has special traditions and different ways of living that makes it unique and sets it culturally apart from the rest. (We don't even speak the same Spanish in each country). This Ask Me Anything session will focus on on discussing and celebrating what makes us similar and also what makes us different and unique.

The "Ask Me Anything" series of events provides firsthand personal perspectives on elements of personal identity. Past events have addressed national identity (often tied in with C-Functions), religious, racial, sexual, and ethnic identity, the Veteran experience, and themes such as mental illness and hearing loss. Typically, a small panel of community members provides brief introductions then addresses questions that people may otherwise be hesitant to ask. Our goal in offering these panels is to advance understanding and dialogue. We encourage faculty, staff, and students to attend these events to learn more about the issues and how to be effective allies and leaders, both within the MIT community and beyond.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to help us manage catering responsibly. Sponsored by the MIT Sloan Senate, Breaking the Mold, and MIT Sloan Student Life.
