Practicing Hospitality: Faith & Belonging in the Latino Midwest (details​)
Final talk in the "Catolicismo, Cultura y Comida" series 

Join Sergio M. González, PhD (Marquette University), to explore the profound connections between faith, the ethic of hospitality, and social justice movements in Latino communities in the 20th-century Midwest. Drawing from his recently published book, Strangers No Longer, on the history of Latino settlement in Wisconsin, González asks how churches today can learn from the past to both "welcome the stranger" and create spaces where Latinos can feel like "strangers no longer."
