Meet The CEPE Faculty Research Fellow
The 2021-2023 Research Fellow is Anthropology Professor Anita Carrasco. She is using her Fellowship at The CEPE to examine expressions of hospitality and hostility toward Latinx and Hispanic students on Luther’s campus. Anita is exploring what changes would need to take place at Luther to make it a space of unconditional hospitality. She is sharing her finding with communities at Luther and beyond.
