on Graduate Studies in Chicano History Stanford University This paper was a presentation that was given by the author at a conference titled "Towards a New Chicana/o History" held by JSRI on the Michigan State University campus. After watching the conference proceedings for the last two
days, I wanted to share a graduate student's perspective about
the state of the discipline of Chicano history. What I am offering
here is a response to what I think are many of the main themes
that surfaced in this week's presentations and discussions, as
well as a summary of the type of work being done by my fellow
students working on Master's and doctoral degrees. If our meeting
aimed both to assess the current state of the field and to push
us forward, we would be remiss not to acknowledge that graduate
student work is important for understanding where we are, and
critical for determining where we ought to go. I would like to
relate, as well, some additional thoughts about the conference
which have been shaped by my dissertation research on Chicanos
in San José, California, and particularly on Ernesto Galarza,
a vocal resident of the community who helped establish the field
of Chicano Studies. Hardcopy Price: $0.00
