For this final talk of the "Catolicismo, Cultura y Comida" series organized by CWCIT and Tepeyac/Catholic Campus Ministry, we welcome Dr. Sergio González of Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI).

In this talk, Sergio M. González, PhD (assistant professor of history at Marquette University), explores 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 (: ) on the history of Latino settlement in Wisconsin, he 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."
