SUMMARY:**IN AUSTIN**  Latino Voting Rights Act and Political Engagement Conference
DESCRIPTION:In 1975\, the expansion and extension of the Voting Rights Act advanced the rights of Mexican Americans and other Latinos. It was only one of several developments of the 1960s and 1970s that led to greater Latino political engagement: the War on Poverty programs provided new resources\, perspectives and leadership opportunities for Latinos. Simultaneously\, more Latinos become active in collective bargaining\, which also led to greater political leverage. This conference seeks to explore the Latino experience with the Voting Rights Act and the broader experience of political engagement among U.S. Latinos for the time period of the 1960s through today. \nAfter a national call for abstracts for papers and roundtable proposals\, the the Latino Voting Rights Act and Political Engagement Conference organizers are proud to announce a tentative list of participants. Our participants include established and highly-respected scholars\, as well as graduate students just embarking on their own careers. We look forward to a robust conference with excellent audience participation. \nLatinos\, the Voting Rights Act and Political Engagement Conference\nThursday – Friday\, Nov. 12 & 13\, 2015\nThompson Conference Center\, The University of Texas at Austin Campus\nREGISTER NOW for priority in seating and conference materials.\nFree Online Registration through November 6.
