This panel examines how Boricua identities take shape across racialized landscapes of migration and settlement. Moving from Afro-Nuyorican poetics and linguistic struggle in New York City to overlooked labor histories in Utah, presenters trace how diaspora exceeds the nation-form and unsettles dominant archives. Together, these works explore relation as lived practice—through language, errantry, education, and survival—while confronting the silences that structure historical record-keeping.

Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
