This seminar features the work of UT doctoral candidate Aris Moreno Clemons dissertation “Dominicans be like”: Ethno-raciolinguistic stance-taking and the construction of Dominicanidad in the U.S. Aris looks at Dominican language performances on social media platforms to:

interrogate the ways in which Dominicanidad is constructed in public forums by Dominicans and Dominican-Americans themselves;
examine the ways in which Dominicanidad is taken up and understood by the broader public.

Aris Mereno Clemons will be joined in conversation by Dr. Pablo José López Oro, assistant professor of Africana Studies at Smith College and doctoral graduate of African and African diaspora studies at UT Austin.
