Terms to describe the Hispanic population have evolved over the years. Some of the changes reflect the growing diversity of the Latino/a population; other changes are illustrative of burgeoning social movements that insist on interrogating language used to identify marginalized populations. This panel discussion will examine the various terms that have been used to refer to the Latino/a population in the United States, the history behind the terms, and the current debate over the newest term, Latinx.

Sociocultural Colloquium presented by UConn department of Anthropology presents "Health care as a technology of sociopolitical revolution in Chávez’s Venezuela" by Amy Cooper. Who is is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Saint Louis University.
Dr. Amy Cooper goes beyond the headlines to describe the realities of everyday life in Venezuela over the past 20 years from the point of view of poor and working-class Venezuelans. Her research as a cultural and medical anthropologist focuses on one of the most important shifts in Venezuelan society under socialist leader Hugo Chávez: the transformation of its health care system. Though rarely mentioned in media reporting on Venezuela’s leftist leadership, health care reform improved people’s lives and reshaped the political landscape in the country in ways that are still being felt today. Cooper discusses her in-depth research with Cuban doctors, patients in public clinics, community health activists, and others in the years before the current crisis began. Her work adds nuance and depth to our understanding of Venezuela and offers lessons from one of the most ambitious experiments in universal health care in recent memory.
