A year ago, we were supposed to host my guests for a one-day Symposium in Iowa City on the topic of LATINA/O/X CULTURAL CITIZENSHIPS & POPULAR BELONGING. After having addressed issues surrounding formal citizenship and national belonging in the Fall 2019 semester, this one-day symposium was supposed to bring subject area experts (our guests, today) to discuss modalities of popular belonging (television, sports, music, literature, and more) in Latina/o/x contexts in the U.S. Alas, that symposium was the first thing we had to cancel due to the emerging coronavirus pandemic. So after Ariana and I had a chance to start settling into our new locations after our moves, we realized that one of the best ways we could make up the symposium was with a couple of episodes of this podcast. In this episode, we’ll be sticking to the subject matter of the symposium.  After I introduce them, each of my guests will have a chance to offer short opening statements and then we’ll proceed into some questions about cultural citizenship and popular belonging. In the NEXT episode, we’ll do our traditional “roundtable” format and dive into what we’ve called their “origin stories” as well as their thoughts on the importance of Latinx Studies education.
