About Isabel Velazquez
Isabel Velázquez is the Harold E. Spencer Professor in Modern Languages and Literatures. Her area of research includes sociolinguistic variation, Hispanic linguistics, bilingualism and language acquisition, heritage speaker pedagogy, language contact on the US/Mexico border, and the role of language in identity formations of USLatin@s. Her current research focuses on linguistic maintenance and loss among Latinx families in the Midwest. Professor Velázquez holds a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
About “Hyphen American: Intersections of Identity”
How does an artist’s work reflect the American experience? And in what ways does “Americanness” reveal itself through art in the presence of heterogeneous “American” identities? As the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the exhibition explores these questions by showcasing how identity is presented and interrogated in visual art.
